Paths 2025
Path Overview:
​​
Paths are a fancy way of saying “classes.” During WorldWide WitchCamp, we have three different Path time slots (labeled by “Cobalt,” “Scarlet,” or “Gold”), with several Path options in the Gold & Scarlet Path time slots at each time. We ask you attend the same Path(s) each day.
For instance, you might choose the Stars in Our Magic Path during the Gold Path time, and would attend that Path each day of Camp (rather than mixing and matching) In theory, you could attend one Path from each time slot, but then you'd be up all night!

The Magic of Art for Revolution
with Raven Edgewalker, Faerie Sarah & August Wolff
No pre-requisites.​​
Human beings are artists: Our early ancestors drew in charcoals and ochres. They carved, crafted, painted and sculpted and their practices eventually became what we now know as ‘art’. These objects of power and beauty continue to touch us in ways conversations often cannot. And NOW, in this time of global turmoil, pain and uncertainty, we are called to carry these practices onwards. Art has the power to move, change and sustain us when we need it most.
Art is our birthright and each one of us is an artist and creator whether we know it or not. Our art emerges from a child's innate creativity and desire to make manifest and from the wonder and awe of the world which we are part of. It rises from the depths of our subconscious minds and from the miracle of our imagination. As witches we can reclaim this power and use it for deep personal introspection, healing, activism and more. Art helps us deepen into the sacred relationships of the land that we live on, and art challenges us to engage with change and revolution.
We call you to come and join us! Whether you already identify as an Artist, Crafter, Maker, Writer, Poet, or whether you want to learn what your Art Magic is in this world. We will explore art as a power for revolution, we will work to reclaim the creative powers of our child selves to help sustain us in our personal practices and in our world changing magics. We will challenge ourselves, support each other, share, play and create.
This path is open to all who hear the call of their inner creative change maker. We suggest you bring alone a creative project, or idea of a creative project to work with magically during our time together.
Faerie, August and Raven are all experienced Reclaiming witches and artists.
​
O Beijo dos Caídos
Yuki, Horn & Edan
*Path taught in Brazilian Portuguese*
Elements of Magic a pre-requisite.
​
For 3 days we will turn our attention to the mysteries of the fallen beings, the various stories that fall from the stars and penetrate the earth and that urge our hearts. We will seek the origin of our own Primordial Pact, witnessing our own fall, as it is said in ancient art: “We are children of the fertile earth and the starry sky.”
​
Lucifer, Azazel, Aradia, Prometheus, The Red Serpent, Fairies, The First Witch, The Watchers, The Guardians, The Bright Spirits…
​
We will recognize the tools of the stars and return to the world of spirits. Allowing the mystery to reveal itself, so that we can kiss the other world, and finally spread magic to all worlds.
​
Bring your favorite makeup, and prepare your body to live deliciously. We will work with the Iron Pentacle, the Thatch Pentacle and the Pearl Pentacle. We will immerse ourselves in ritual trance and speak with the spirit world. We will divine the future and dream of our descendants. We will experience witchcraft in the present, as a connector of the primordial fall and a possible future for humanity.
​
The Siren’s Song: A watery restorative for weary witches
with Fortuna and Alyson
Elements of Magic recommended as a pre-requisite.
​
"But if you take away my voice," said the little mermaid, "what have I left?"
-H.C. Andersen, ‘The Little Mermaid’ (1837); English translation M.R. James (1930)
In the tsunami of intense energies that surround magickal people each day, it can be easy to feel that we have lost connection to our primal, primary creative power: our true voice, our unique ‘siren’s song’. This Song is our birthright, given in Love by the Multiverse. Within Its unique shape and vibration and beauty is the key to our purpose – and when we join our Song with that of others, the resonance touches All the Worlds. But in the rush of our practical daily lives at this pivotal moment, we may just feel too exhausted to sing.
​
-
Are you a weary/overwhelmed witch/activist/artist/human?
-
Do you feel you’re ‘treading water’ magickally but aren’t sure how to move?
-
Has your Song been misunderstood or feared? Do you feel your voice is being drowned out, or its power dimmed?
Join Alyson and Fortuna in this gently restorative path, guided in part by the original (albeit detoxified!) story of The Little Mermaid from HC Andersen. Together we will dive into the very depths of the great chalice of the heart, retrieving lost and forgotten treasures and uncovering strange new beauty Within and Without. Through storytelling and song, (art)making and ritual, (group) trance, movement, and divination – including a bespoke ‘7 Cups of Power’ Tarot spread - we will find creative empowerment and magickal community. We will focus on finding a buoyant daily practice that is flexible, juicy, and supports us. Note that if you are averbal, this path is also for you, singer of the silent song.
This path asks participants to bring a journal and writing implement, divination tool, small cup from which to drink, any creative or musical or generative projects that need a little bardic love, and anything that makes you feel comfortable, safe and held - pyjamas anyone?
The Siren’s Song is most suitable for 18+; and the Reclaiming Core Course ‘Elements of Magic’ would be a nice (although not essential) prerequisite.

​
Singing the Primordial Song of the Ancient Witches
with Starsinger and Shannon Rose​​
Some prior experience with trance work is needed.
​
Come travel with us through time and dimension, weaving yourself into the eternal web of connection that binds all who walk the path of magic. Reaching into the depths of mystery, extending in all directions until anchored and woven into that vast web, find the support that is witchcraft and magic across time, dimension, and space.
Using the ancient tool of trance, we journey to the primordial realms where the first magic was born. With voice as our vessel and body as our guide, we explore and deepen our own relationship to this sacred place. We remember our own primordial song—that ancient hum that has vibrated within us since before time began, yearning to harmonize with the voices of witches across all realms. We discover and strengthen our own personal thread that is rooted and woven into those of the ancient ones. We anchor this thread into our present day work in the world through various art forms and embodiment practices, transforming ancient wisdom into contemporary power.
What mysteries might unfold if our work in the world were to merge with the timeless wisdom of the original witches? How would it feel to draw from the primordial hum that existed before the first star was born and will sing long after the last one fades? What collective magic might we birth together as we strengthen these sacred remembrances and forge connections that transcend the boundaries of time and space?
Come. The web awaits your unique strand of starlight.

The Stars in our Magic
with Tere Parsley Starnes and Urania
Prior knowledge of astrology is helpful, but not required.
​​
For millennia Witches, Magicians and magic makers of all kinds have watched the planets— analyzing and aligning their magic to the powerful forces of the heavens. On the day this camp begins, the Sun is at 15 degrees Scorpio, what many call true Samhain or natal Samhain (and Beltane for those in the southern hemisphere); the Moon, in Gemini, has just begun waning; Mars has just made an opposition to Uranus; and Venus and Pluto are in a dynamic square. We see this as an auspicious time to engage with our charts to see the way forward in this wacky world.
In this path we will discuss and work with the Moon, the Sun, and Pluto. Prior knowledge of astrology is helpful but not necessary. Looking at our charts (provided ahead of the path) we will consider what we know intellectually about these planets (and dwarf planet if you want to call Pluto that), discussing placement and simple aspects. Dropping beneath our intellect—using trance, automatic writing, and other magical practices—we will dive deeper into the planets and our charts to help us meet this moment in time, inviting the Ancestors to guide us, seeking our purpose, and considering power/initiation/rEvolution in our lives and the world.
​
If you think you might be taking this path, send your birth information through this form 3 days before path begins. It is OK if you change your mind about taking this path after that.
There is a cap of 20 participants on this class.
​
Tools for the Times: Magic of Elements, Iron & Pearl
with Alex Iantaffi and Jane Meredith​
Elements of Magic is a Pre-requisite.
​
We find ourselves in challenging times - politically, perhaps personally, and maybe even within beloved communities. How can the tools from our own Reclaiming tradition support and nourish us? Earth. Air. Fire. Water. Spirit. Sex - Pride - Self - Power - Passion. Love ~ Law ~ Wisdom ~ Liberty ~ Knowledge. We remember you.
​
We invite you to revisit the magic of Elements, of Iron and Pearl Pentacles with us, and find within and between those points the magics we need for now. Will you join us as we journey through co-created magic and exploration, weaving our personal and collective wisdom into a web of strength and transformation?
Each day we will focus on one of these practices:
Day 1 - Elements,
Day 2 - Iron Pentacle,
Day 3 - Pearl Pentacle.
We will drop deeply in, revisiting the elements and the pentacles and noticing what points and tools we are drawn to - considering which might be needed in your life or within your community right now. You might feel the call to deepen into Power, or play with Liberty, or nurture flames of Fire. You might be called to the creativity of Water, the depths of Passion, the patterns of Law. There will be time for cross-pollination through discussion, as well as individual reflection and journaling, as we work our world-changing magic together.
​
-
We ask that you have previously taken the Reclaiming core class Elements of Magic.
-
Please bring with you a journal and pen, & some colouring supplies if you wish, and if they are easily available to you. These supplies can be analogue or digital: please bring what best suits your needs.
-
If possible, please build an altar with objects representing the elements, and the Iron and Pearl Pentacles.
-
We prefer participants to attend all three days of path, but this is not a requirement. Each day stands as its own offering.

The Pearlescent Path of Healing
with Megan Dragon and SusanneRae​

Solarpunk Pentacle: A tool for Transformation, interconnection, and hope
with Karin and BrightFlame
​​
The Solarpunk Pentacle helps us be more effective in the world and create the futures we desire. It helps us rewild ourselves, deepen our interconnections, and find ways forward. Some have called it a blueprint for change and a how-to manual for life.
Solarpunk looks outward and focuses on mutuality and resilience—working the pentacle helps assure we thrive in community. Solarpunk is a movement, a vibe, a genre, and so much more. It’s dynamic like the ecstatic ritual and pentacles we work with in Reclaiming. Solarpunk aligns with our activist, antiracist, anti-ableist, anti-transphobic tradition and Reclaiming’s Principles of Unity and Accountability.
This is an experiential and somatic path where we’ll run the pentacle in our bodies, walk (or finger-walk) the pentacle, and receive its wisdom through trance and aspecting. Some of our work will be off-camera with long breaks. For more about solarpunk, see BrightFlame’s website: brightflame.com.
If possible, please bring divination tool of choice (Tarot, Runes…) to first session.
