Theme & Paths"Out of the darkness, upon the Earth, emerges a new interconnected tribe, which holds the energy of starfire and expresses itself in a myriad of lifeforms. Through voice, dance and sensuality, we dream our song into being and awaken to a new reality that lovingly shares our hearth with all beings who choose to join us."
Elements of Magic
with Dawn Isidora, Cath and Ash
The Five Elements: Air, Fire, Water, Earth and Spirit comprise our world, our bodies, and thus our magic. In this introduction to Witchcraft and the Reclaiming Tradition, we will initiate and deepen our relationships with these Sacred Elements. Through embodied experience, engaging: touch and taste, sight and scent, getting our hands dirty, we will explore the Elements of Life within ourselves and within the Cauldron of Nature which embraces us. Forging physical, intellectual, emotional and energetic connections to our magical selves, we seed and strengthen our relationships with the Land – which is the body of the Goddess – and the Spirits of Place.
Iron Pentacle
with Ravyn Stanfield and Aria Weaver
Reclaim your human birthright! Expand your authentic self to explore the five points of the Iron Pentacle: Sex, Pride, Self, Power and Passion. These points energetically represent aspects of our consciousness that are often distorted by the dominant culture. Using trance, magic and ritual, we will delve into our connections to each of these points and explore our relationships with them.
Iron Pentacle, a Reclaiming tool of self-discovery and transformation, is known as ‘the work of a lifetime’. Through guided meditation, art, song, movement and sacred play, we will access the points of our inner pentacle and begin to reclaim and integrate these points into our lives. By restructuring our relationships with these concepts we can begin to balance our worldview through the removal of negative preconceptions and the discovery of our authentic selves.
From this space of balance and integration, true magic is made. Our path work will begin the journey that will help us to live our Divinity and step forward as Witches, able to affect real change in our lives and in the world.
Iron Pentacle is one of the Reclaiming Tradition’s core classes. The ‘Elements of Magic’ class or equivalent magical experience is a prerequisite for this path.
Rites of Passage: Dreaming our song into being
with Rose May Dance and Rhonda Evenstar
The Rites of Passage path will focus on dreams, myths, and language by the use of traditional and non-traditional tales.
Through individual and group trance, storytelling, release work and dreams, we will traverse the faery story, to draw forth and weave a rich tapestry of images and symbols: between the worlds, to empower us in all the worlds.
We will learn and sharpen magical skills which enable us to create magic circles around our own lives. These skills include guided trance journeying, and how to guide others in trance. We will also practice entering into the dreams and trances of each other, as we learn to trance together into a shared vision. We will allow this magic to express itself in our journals, artwork, movement, and song.
Join us as we journey into the realm of our own dreams and imaginings, each becoming the main character in our own faerytale as we dream our song into being.
Using storytelling motifs and trance techniques, we receive our challenge(s), meet our allies and work through our blocks, to create a personal rite of passage that allows us to emerge renewed, reborn and ready to awaken to a new reality.
This is the first time this advanced Core Reclaiming Class has been offered in Australia. Please bring a recent dream, a magical talisman, ritual objects, your Book of Shadows (journal) and other creative art materials to record and deepen your experience.
