Come to all 3 or just one!

Calling to the Divine (11/22) 

How do you talk to Gods, Ancestors, spiritual allies, or other beings? How might you invite them to your ritual? How do you get out of the “script” of ritual and invoke divine beings in ways that truly move you? 

This workshop is a deep dive on invocations, an important tool used in ritual to work with those allies who aid and sponsor the magic you want to bring forth. We will explore invocations not as a command, but as a calling, an invitation, a seduction, a flirtation with the Gods, spirits, plants, and other beings who may want to join us. 

In this workshop we will:

  • Create sacred space through grounding, circle casting & calling to the Elements

  • Trance to meet our allies in the spiritual realm

  • Explore what invocations are & why they’re important

  • Play with writing prompts to try on different ways of calling to the Elements, Gods, or other allies of our choosing

  • Get creative with sound and movement as channels of power and communication.

This workshop will help you develop a deeper capacity to communicate with the unseen, and a deeper relationship to the living animacy in all things. All are welcome. You do not need to have magical experience or identify as a witch to join!

The Heart of the Ritual (12/12)

So you’ve cast your circle, invoked your allies…and now what? How do you cast the spell? What do you do in ritual to really be moved by the magic you seek? Come to this workshop to develop tools for ecstatic ritual practice! This practice will help get you more comfortable designing your own rituals, stepping out of the script, and listening to the magic that wants to speak through you.

In this workshop we will:

  • Explore trancework as a tool for enchantment & spellcasting

  • Craft ritual intentions to guide our magic

  • Discuss different types of ritual technology and the basics of spellcraft

  • Work with movement, drumming, and song to practice improvisatory, emergent magic

All are welcome. You do not need to have magical experience or identify as a witch to join!

WorldWide WitchCamp

I am elated to teach at the 4th annual WorldWide WitchCamp! Join me November 13-16th (exact dates depend on your time zone) for round-the-clock ritual and magic!

WorldWide WitchCamp is an online magical intensive, held in the Reclaiming Witchcraft Tradition, that brings together witches from around the globe for rituals, classes, affinity groups, and more! Historically we’ve had over 15 countries represented, upwards of 4 languages spoken at ritual, and 10 different classes (called “Paths”) to choose from. Sliding scale & scholarships are options.

Registration is open NOW! And will close 72 hours before camp begins, somewhere around November 10th depending on your timezone.

Our story this year is Stone Soup, exploring what it looks like to bring together our myriad ingredients and create community together. On that theme, I will be teaching a Path at camp with the wonderful Jane Meredith. Read more below~

Brewing Stone Soup ~ Creating the Witch Community of Your Dreams

Do you long for a coven, a magical circle, a local WitchCamp, or people to celebrate the sabbats with? How do we start with just a stone and a cauldron and call in a community around us to brew the soup of our dreams?

WorldWide WitchCamp is a mystical three days a year between-the-worlds event where we create and experience Reclaiming community across the globe. How could we take some of that home with us? What is your cauldron? What is your ingredient? What are you calling out for?

In this path we will explore our personal needs and desires for magical community. We’ll aim to develop tools and create a map to move forward with our dreams. We’ll dive into the nuts and bolts of consensus, then use consensus in real time to decide what activities and content to explore the following day. For example: somatic embodiment tools, sharing our visions, exploring our sense of belonging, finding allies, working with Iron and Pearl, community Q & A, and moving from inspiration to a plan. On the third day we’ll work magic together and support each other to create plans of action as we get ready to serve the soup!

Let’s build resilience and skills so that we leave this camp inspired, encouraged and empowered to pursue our audacious wishes and bring our stone soup to the world.

Sunday, December 6th, 2-4pm

Sliding Scale: $13-25

In the words of Victor Anderson, a witch’s circle is “a magnifying glass to the Gods.” Casting circles is an important first step to most rituals – it can serve as protection, cleansing, and focus. It can create the “cauldron” of our ritual, into which we can add the ingredients of the magic we want to brew. 

Though perhaps lesser known, crossroads are another traditional witch’s tool that we open in order to see between worlds and converse with spirits. In this workshop, we will dive deeply into each of these tools, finding creative and intentional ways to set up ritual space to best serve the magic we seek.

In this workshop we will:

  • Work with grounding & alignment to locate and build self-sovereignty

  • Play witchy games to practice feeling and sensing energy

  • Hone our ability to direct energy through multiple methods of circle casting

  • Invoke and dance with our divine selves

  • Learn some about the history of witch’s association with crossroads

  • Open the crossroads and listen for the spirits that arrive

All are welcome. You do not need to have magical experience or identify as a witch to join!

Iron Pentacle: the Queer, the Folk & the Fallen Ones (Online)

This is a 6-session virtual Reclaiming core class that will teach you about and create space to immerse yourself in the Iron Pentacle, and especially exploring the Queer in each one of us, the Folk and the Fallen Ones. The Iron Pentacle is made of 5 points, each named with a word that troubles, hunts, and dares the human in us: Sex, Pride, Self, Power, and Passion. Those are the sacred names spoken by the harlots, sacred sex workers, priestesses of ancient temples, and witches throughout history. We hold these words as a compass, as a sword, as an incantation - our spell of self-becoming, of bringing ourselves back to us through the gates of Mystery and Ecstasy. 

Iron Pentacle has always been a Queer tool, embracing these words that provoke, that are called “sin” by overculture. In this class, we will explore the queer majesty of reclaiming these words and the power that comes from Otherness.

The Queer has always been a core part of the Folk. We were always there. In the shadows, as pillars of nations, governments, and royalty. In the forests, on the other side of the fence, all genders and no gender, the Witch, the danger, the forbidden ones, the monsters in the shadows. In the cities, our strength, our colors, our beauty, and our ideas change and move the world. Without us, there would be no Folk - we have always been here, and we are not going anywhere. We hold the Folklore in our hands.

We honor the Fallen Ones, those great seraphic winged serpents, mighty currents of power creating and recreating the universe over and over again as we descend from them. When they fell in love with humankind, with our magic and mystery, they loved the red women, the beautiful boys, and the androgynous gender-bender beings. We offered them our sensuous secrets, and they offered us their magic. They offered, amongst many things, the mystery that is the Iron Pentacle.

This class will be focused on queerness, developing and deepening our relationship with the Iron Pentacle itself as a lover, a teacher, a guide, a current of power, and a powerful being. By doing that, we bring ourselves back to us, honoring the ever-living Queer. That said, this class is not exclusive to the LGBTQ+ community and we welcome anyone who wants to explore these themes with us.

In this class, we will work with trance, ecstatic practices, and embodied techniques to dive deep into the Queer with the Iron Pentacle as our beloved and as our compass. Honoring our core existence amongst the Folk and inviting the Fallen Ones to, once more, show us how loved we are in many ways and forms. Learning different ways to engage the work with the Iron Pentacle, we will follow Sex, Pride, Self, Power, and Passion as lands for becoming ourselves, as portals of life force and queerness, as deep wells of magic and incantation. Art, poetry, music, movement, writing, and talking will support us. In the words of Reclaiming Elder Pandora O’Mallory, “Iron Pentacle is the work of a lifetime.”

This class is taught as a core class in the Reclaiming Witchcraft Tradition. Elements of Magic is a prerequisite for taking this class.

Reclaiming Mad Magic

Reclaiming Mad Magic is a six-session workshop exploring the intersections of madness, witchcraft, and liberation. Together, we will examine the social and political forces that have shaped how madness is understood, experienced, and responded to while also exploring the spiritual, mystical, and ancestral dimensions of these experiences that have historically been pathologized, marginalized, and suppressed.

Drawing from Mad Pride, psychiatric abolition, anti-colonial perspectives, mythology, witchcraft, and lived experience, we will investigate how dominant frameworks of mental health have shaped our relationships to altered states of consciousness, unusual perceptions, and ways of knowing. We will also explore the possibilities of reclaiming madness as an experience that can hold meaning, mystery, and spiritual significance beyond the confines of psychiatric diagnosis.

  • Session 1: History of Mad Pride & the Psychiatric Survivor Movement in the so-called United States

  • Session 1: History of Mad Pride & the Psychiatric Survivor Movement in the so-called United States

  • Session 3: Dionysos Ritual & Storytelling around Madness as a Spiritual Mystery

Death Birds and Dreaming

Path at Winter Witchcamp

Join me and Yule Danu Oyagbemi for our Path at Winter Witchcamp, February 5-9th in Minnesota!

Birds as threshold bearers, birds as psychopomps – those who can carry us to the ancestral realms, birds as omens from the Otherworld, and birds that sing of prophetic futures… 

In this Path, we will take a three-day journey through Death, the Otherworld, and Rebirth. 

We will follow the omen of birds throughout Rhiannon’s story. Some say it was a bird-like creature who took Rhiannon’s son Pryderi away to the Otherworld. Perhaps this bird bore the same large talons that took all the village’s newborn foals from their mares for years until the infant Pryderi was delivered back. Rhiannon’s birds are said to wake the dead and lull the living to sleep, charming their listeners for years at a time.

With birds as our allies and psychopomps, we will:

  • Heal with Ancestors, with the Land, and with the Descendents

  • Go to the Otherworld to deepen our connection with Rhiannon and with the more-than-human neighbors.

  • Listen to the wisdom of our various allies to explore reciprocity and better relationship

  • Spell-craft around the Ancestors we want to become

  • Reemerging we sing ourselves back to life.

Come cross the threshold between the worlds. Come listen for the birds who sing from beyond the veil. Come honor our witch allies and kin. 

Come reweave the threads of prophecy!

We welcome anyone 16+ who has taken Elements of Magic in our Path.
