Elements of (our) Magic: a Spell for the World
co-held with Ember & horizon

An in person offering on Coast Salish Land (so-called Seattle)
December 13-14, 2025

What if you remembered that you are enough and immensely powerful? That the temple of your body, heart, soul could feel the call of magic as you respond with a resounding YES. What if you sat in a forest of other bodies, praying to the elements of life.  Feeling them, knowing them, loving them and being changed in that knowing.

What if we did this together? What if we could trust the spark of absolute knowing that our magic is real.

We can. With the Elements of Magic. 

Elements of Magic is an introduction to the ancient tools and traditions of witchcraft and a core class in the Reclaiming tradition, offering both foundational and lifelong skills. Beginners are very welcome! This is magic that belongs to us. And in the magic of relationship, we belong to this.  In this working, we will step into the river of Whole Time, becoming who we already are and have always been.

With the power of air, we craft piercing spells.

With the power of fire, we raise the witch’s energy.

With the power of water, we look into the well of knowing and See.

With the power of earth, we make our spell manifest.

And with spirit, we walk forward as a witch, letting the ancient ways flow through rituals we design. 

These tools are just the beginning of each element’s power, as you will see: Every breath of air contains the power of the dawn and the breath that rises in our bodies like spring. The fiery height of the sun gives us the arrogance and confidence to do large things as we shine with summer’s desire. We gather around the well of belonging and tend it with our witches’ craft and the deep roots of autumn. For ourselves and all of our descendants, with our ancestor’s loving hands at our backs, we listen to the silent, winter wisdom of our bodies and the earth as we are relentlessly supported. 

Like The Magician, we have all the tools to make magic here in the altars of our bodies. Let us throw open the doors to the magic we were born to make as we cast powerful circles, welcome the elements in the moment we feel their sacred presence, practice the reciprocity and humility of relationship, dance the ecstasy of being inhabited by the divine and cast the spell of “what happens between the worlds changes all the worlds.” 

This class is co-held by horizon greene and Ember Andrews. We have been best friends since the ride which put us in a carpool to British Columbia Witch Camp in 2012. We are initiation siblings, initiated into Reclaiming one month apart. We are deeply woven into each other’s magic as priestesses of the Great Turning, each other’s biggest fans and sweet refuges. We call each other into the lifetime magic and work of collective liberation. We bring our love of each other, our tradition and you, our community of witches, to build a container that is strong and deep and full of belonging. We know that love is our most powerful magic and we invite you into this spell of our love for each other and the land as we build a relational altar to change all the worlds.

Time: Saturday 10am-5pm, Sunday 10am-3pm

Enlightening Inner Worlds (Body as Ecosystem)
co-held w/ James & horizon

From the earth that is our body, to the air that is our breath, to the fire of our bright spirit and the water of our living hearts.  In this way, witches cast the circle of transformation, calling ancestors, deepening relationship with the sacred Elements and co-creating containers to change themselves and so all the worlds. 

To be woven is to be in relationship with each other, the earth, our ancestors and our deep selves. To be human is to have a nervous system, an immune system, to feel pleasure and pain, to age, to grow, to learn, to mess up, to be invited into change over and over again, and to die.  To be a witch is to know ourselves in all our parts, to understand the inner world as a mirror to all that is, has been, can and will be. So within, so without. 

In this somatic offering we journey inward, catalyzing the deep elemental wisdom of the body in order to know ourselves and our magics more fully. 

Through the practice of interiorizing ourselves, we traverse stillness to know our inner landscape (Earth). 

Through the practice of interiorizing inner knowledge, we follow the riverbed of our breath (Air).

Through the practice of interiorizing movement, we follow the impulse of the body to dance (Fire). 

Through the practice of interiorizing our hearts, we feel so that we may know the full complexity and power of our humanity (Water). 

Through this elemental journey of our inner landscape, we embody healing and liberation as our birthright (Spirit). 

Through enlightenment of the interior, we re-member that what happens between the worlds changes all the worlds.

Be prepared to work with transcendental meditation, trance, trataka, tantric breathwork.  Be prepared to challenge what you think you know about yourself. You will leave with a new perspective on consciousness, concentration, the mind and the imagination. This course will establish you in the foundations of a meditation practice and reawaken you to awe of your ecosystem body and the elemental magic within and without.

Tending the Community Temple: Elements of Community Magic
co-held with Dawn Isidora & horizon

“Our tradition honors the wild, and calls for service to the earth and the community.” In magical community, we bring our diversity, visions, intentions, words, actions, selves, souls and power-fullness to the collective. As co-holders of the beautiful, intersectional, feminist, anarchist, magical tradition that is Reclaiming Witchcraft, we birth the world we want to live in by changing our consciousness at will and breathing into being the living ecosystem that holds our collective magic: community.

Healing happens in relationship, between bodies, hearts, nervous systems and spirits. And, the struggle is real. Conflict is part of relationship, feelings are hurt, mistakes are made, egos are wounded, power is abused. Community is wonderfully queer and wholey non-binary: there is not a single story here.  Wonderful and terrible. Beautiful and messy. Brilliant and exacerbating. Powerful, transformative, co-created: community magic.

This community magic class is dedicated to bringing to life the spellwork outlined in our Reclaiming Principles of Unity: “to create and sustain communities and cultures that embody our values, that can help to heal the wounds of the earth and her peoples, and that can sustain us and nurture future generations.” This is a skills class, offering concrete pathways, tools and a collective language for how we make Reclaiming magic.

Iron Pentacle: Remember Who You Are
co-held with Irisanya Moon & horizon

“Who is this flower above me and what is the work of this god?
I would know myself in all my parts.”
-Feri Prayer

What if even when your heart was breaking you re-membered that you are a witch? What if that re-membering became a hope, became a knowing, became a relationship, became a spell,  became a changing of all the worlds. Magic so powerful it transforms our cells, unapologetically uprooting the lies of a sick white supremacist, misogynistic, fat shaming, capitalist, ageist, heteronormative, transphobic, ableist, disconnective culture, reknitting our wounds with the brilliant truths of a deep interdependence, a humility for the intelligence of the wild, a love of our ancestors, a reverence for the divine and a bone-deep knowingness that we, too, are divine.

What if this magic were as simple and complex as breathing into our pentacle bodies, opening our hearts and allowing/inviting/directing the Iron Pentacle to change us. It is. (And, it is the work of our lifetime).

The Iron Pentacle is Lineage Magic. A gift and a map offered in love from Elders and Ancestors.  A portal into the witchcraft of change and possibility and re-membering and making real what our Souls know is possible.  This is magic we stir and seal within our pentacle bodies through the portals of Sex, Pride, Self, Power, Passion. If in reading this you feel a curiosity, a hunger, a resonance, a “hell yes” or a “that can’t possibly be me,” we invite you to join us in this in person working to remember who the fuck you are.

Pearl Pentacle: The Witches Gather
co-held with Dawn Isidora & horizon

Building upon the steadfast foundation of the Iron Pentacle, Pearl Pentacle is known as the work many lifetimes. This magic comes to life when, as a community of witches, we bring our fully empowered birthright Iron Pentacle selves into the communal. Here we access magic found not in isolation but rather in community. Guided by the Pearl Pentacle points of: Love, Law, Knowledge, Liberty and Wisdom, we re-member that each one of us is needed for the work of collective liberation, that each of our magics is required in this moment and that we are not alone in this seeking. In this Reclaiming core class, the mystery of the Pearl Pentacle asks us to take a risk, open our hearts, let go of perfection and step into the beauty of “we are the ones we have been waiting for.”

Rewilding Sorrow
co-held with Alex Iantaffi & horizon

Now that I
Understand
That grief
Emotionally speaking
Is the same
As gold
I do not despair
That we are
All of us
Born to grieve.
-Alice Walker

Our beating hearts. Our first and final ritual, priestessing lifeforce through our veins. Our broken hearts. Cauldron of Life by whose fierceness we navigate the oceans of joy and despair. Our activist hearts. Visionary change-weavers whose powers kindle the fires of hope and transformation. This is the magic of authenticity, healing and presence.

In a world where many of us experience chronic exhaustion due to intergenerational and historical traumas, and are immersed in an overculture constantly inviting us to numb, disconnect, ignore, profit and consume, we have a primal, vital need for sacred spaces where we can be present in our grief. As we embody the sacred practices of taking up time and space to fully experience loss, we uncover the pathways that sustain and cultivate life. This magic is the prayer/song/spell whose effect voices truth and need so that we might return to living fully and in harmony within the Web of Life. Together we will challenge and transform how we are taught to hold grief in oppressive, white supremacist, normative overcultures, learning and re-learning to read our bodies, the earth, stars and Spirit.  As witches, storytellers, activists and healers we bravely unweave the hex of disconnection, moving away from shame and hopelessness toward love, connection, intimacy and resilience.

We grieve because we have loved. We grieve because we have known joy. We grieve so that we might live.

Hearth of the Water Healers
co-held w/ Willow & horizon

Love, connection, presence, justice. Different names of the same magic. We, sacred ones, are made of earth, water, breath and stardust. There are 37.2 trillion cells in our humyn bodies, every single one of them sacred. Every. Single. One. There is none that exists in isolation. We are an ecosystem living within an ecosystem living within an ecosystem. This is the web of life. Breathe into it, feel it, pray to it, sing to it. Feel it sing to you. Isolation is a lie that feeds the overculture of greed and injustice. This is not a polite dismantling of illusion. This is deep, foundational, change-agent magic we are reclaiming.

We open our hearts to the Earth, its Waters, each other, ourselves. We taste the sweetness and the pain of that opening in a vessel of our own creation filled with empathy and compassion. We hold space for the voices of oppression among us and beyond our communities in our diverse world, seeing all such power-over systems as interrelated and inseparable. We ask the Great Mystery how to disentangle the web of injustice; to find the thread that will unravel the whole tapestry of hatred, bigotry and the illusion of separation. We listen. We pray. We imagine. We experiment. We blend science and magic together to open the way through the forces of love and interconnection.

This is a path of deep healing, exploration, motivation, and coming together in new unfolding ways. We will use tools of theatre, poetry, trance, devotion, music, and language to imagine and claim our place in this time. Join us in the magical laboratory of Witchcamp to experiment with new ritual technologies to aid others and ourselves in this era of the Great Turning and the magic of awakening to our interconnection.

Wholehearted Magick: Liberating Our Fierce Hearts
co-held with Irisanya Moon & horizon

In the time of the tower, we find ourselves in rubble. The remnants of stories, of promises, of safety, and of sureness. What happens when everything falls away? What happens when we find ourselves in unrecognizable places with hearts that are breaking, again and again?

“If your heart is broken, make art with the pieces.” ― Shane Koyczan

Yet, our hearts beat, sending the blood of potential and possibility from chamber to chamber, when we’re awake and asleep. There is magic in our hearts. We are the keepers of stories who long to travel the length of veins, who long to be witnessed and heard and seen. We are the visionaries, re-remembering and re-learning how to make something beautiful from the rubble. 

In this magical working, we seek to enter sacred and scared space. To arrive where we are, when we are, as we are. We are unapologetically enough. 

We will learn together:
~How to hold all parts of ourselves, even the unsure ones, especially the unsure ones
~How to meet ourselves in breakdowns and mirrors without needing to change
~How to ask for what we need in our grief and in our anger
~How to hold well the larger questions of personal and community needs
~How to conjure and liberate our power for our present, past, and future selves

This weekend is for you if you’ve been wondering how to live in wholehearted wonder (again).

This weekend is for you if you’ve been aching to expand your resilience and capacity for all that arrives.

This weekend is for you if you seek joy and pleasure and deep connection to that rhythm in your chest.

This work of the heart is the work of dismantling and returning to our fierce selves. 

For if the body holds the echo of our trauma, it also holds the story of our liberation.  

May we emerge embodied, alive, and inspired — again and again.
