Elements of Magic is the first of the Reclaiming Tradition core classes. Journeying together through earth, air, fire, water and spirit, we will work with the tools of trance, movement, sound, silence, divination and more. We hold the intent that this work will help us to build and deepen our relationships with the five sacred elements of life as we open to the deep magic of the elements and listen to what they have to teach us.
Along with forging a relationship with the elements, this workshop will provide the opportunity to explore and practice some of the core, foundational magical skills of the Reclaiming Tradition, as well as Wiccan and neo-pagan practice.
Elemental work is fundamental, and also endlessly fascinating and illuminating magical work. No matter how little or much experience we have with them, there are always new, powerful and subtle mysteries to discover and explore. We welcome all participants to this class, whether you are new to witchcraft and looking to explore a new path, or an experienced practitioner intending to reconnect with or deepen your own work.
In this 8-week class homework will be sent out by Sunday evening each week, and we ask each participant to commit to checking into the group (we will use a private/hidden Facebook group to facilitate this) about the week’s work by the following Saturday evening (or at any point in the preceding week - we will be in different time zones - you will not all need to be online at the same time to check-in), so that we have time to read and respond before the next week’s work. Trance work will be available in audio form (MP3 audio files) for download and playback at any time, and transcripts are provided for trances and other audio materials.
Note: this is an online course, and anyone who has access to a computer, email and the ability to play audio files is welcome to participate. We are particularly hoping that this will allow those who find it difficult to attend an in-person class because of geography, schedule or budget to get access to this material.
Price: sliding scale $95-$185 - decide where on the sliding scale you are, explanations are not required, and if the lower end of the scale is impossible for you, please contact us. If you are re-taking a class you've taken with us before, please deduct 50%.
A non-refundable deposit of 50% will hold your place for this workshop; full payment is due prior to the start of class. We are able to figure out installment payment plans.

Reclaiming Core Classes:
Essential Pentacles, Iron and Pearl

With Chelidon and Raven Edgewalker
The Iron Pentacle is one of the core Reclaiming tools for self-transformation, inherited from the Anderson Feri Tradition and adapted by Reclaiming. Using our magical skills, moving and shaping energy, we transform ourselves through trance and other tools to explore the five points of our inner pentacle: Sex, Self, Passion, Pride and Power - which are our birthright as free human beings. Through our work with the Iron Pentacle we can learn to reclaim these points and integrate them into our lives.
This workshop offers an intensive introduction to the Iron Pentacle and the ongoing work of integration, which is the work of a lifetime. During this workshop we will explore each of the points of the Iron Pentacle through different exercises and techniques including ritual, trance, energy work, self-awareness, communication, journaling, and art to work on areas where growth and balance are required, and learn tools to take this work out into your daily lives.
This is an intermediate workshop -- The Iron Pentacle is a powerful tool for personal transformation, and Iron Pentacle work can be challenging. We will not be spending time teaching basic magical skills, so we hope that our participants will have basic skills such as grounding, individual ritual skills and familiarity with Reclaiming language and teaching style. The workshop is open to anyone who has taken one or more Reclaiming core classes, workshops or camps or who has equivalent experience in other traditions. If you are unsure, please contact us.
Note: this is an online course, and anyone who has access to a computer, email and the ability to play audio files is welcome to participate. We are particularly hoping that this will allow those who find it difficult to attend an in-person class because of geography, schedule or budget to get access to this material.
You will need a journal and writing materials, basic art supplies, a divination deck or system of some kind (for example tarot cards, rune stones, ogham staves).
Price: sliding scale $95-$175 - decide where on the sliding scale you are, explanations are not required, and if the lower end of the scale is impossible for you, please contact us. If you are re-taking a class you've taken with us before, please deduct 50%.

The Pearl Pentacle is one of the core Reclaiming tools of personal and community transformation, and the lessons we can learn from the energies of the Pearl Pentacle can only enrich and deepen our connections with self and with our communities. As with the closely related Iron Pentacle, the Pearl Pentacle is a tool that was developed in the Anderson Feri tradition and adopted and adapted into the Reclaiming tradition early on in it's history, where it has become one of our four core classes
The energy of the Pearl Pentacle is said to arise when that of the Iron Pentacle is present and balanced, that the energy of Pearl vibrates an octave higher than that of Iron and it that the irritation of the work of Iron Pentacle leads to the creation of the Pearl, as an oyster creates a pearl from the irritation of grit inside it.
Join us as the inner, more personal transformative work of the Iron Pentacle begins to shift outwards to become the energy of the Pearl Pentacle, with its focus on our relationships with each other as we work to build healthy communities.
In this seven-week online intensive workshop we will explore the points of the Pearl Pentacle - Love, Law, Knowledge, Liberty and Wisdom, how they connect to each other and how they connect to the closely related energies of the Iron Pentacle. We will use techniques of trance, ritual, music, art, energy work, community building, communication and many more to learn to integrate and balance these energies in our daily lives and practices.
This workshop is an intermediate workshop, and is open to anyone who has worked with the energies of the Iron Pentacle before - whether at a community class, online, at camp or for one who feels that they have spent sufficient time exploring the Iron Pentacle as part of their personal work to have integrated it into their personal practice. We will not be spending time teaching basic magical skills, so we hope that our participants will have basic skills such as grounding, individual ritual skills and familiarity with Reclaiming language and teaching style. If you are unsure whether this class is for you, please contact the teaching team.
Note: this is an online course, and anyone who has access to a computer, email and the ability to read written material and play audio files is welcome to participate. Trance work will be available in audio form (MP3 audio files) for download and playback at any time. We are particularly hoping that this will allow those who find it difficult to attend an in-person class because of geography, schedule or budget to get access to this material.

Rites of Passage is one of the core classes of the Reclaiming Tradition – although the skills and teachings that it offers reach far beyond the bounds of any one tradition.
This deep, intensive workshop teaches the powerful skills of working and playing with our own personal stories and myths, looking and listening to how they speak to us, showing us ways to deepen our own practices, and to become truer to our Selves and who we can become. Tapping into the realms of the unconscious we will explore techniques of dream-work. We will use trancework and divination in ways that might be new to you. We will draw in art and other creative elements to this workshop and will encourage you to open to your own powers of creativity in re-creating your own individual mythology and stories. The workshop will culminate in the creation by each participant of a personal ritual to honor themselves and the multiplicity of paths that have bought each of us to the place on the journey where we are.
We ask that participants for this class have taken either an Elements of Magic class or another similar workshop. You will need access to the Internet, a tarot deck or other deck of illustrated divinatory cards, a journal and perhaps some art supplies.
Note: this is an online course, and anyone who has access to a computer, email and the ability to play audio files is welcome to participate. We are particularly hoping that this will allow those who find it difficult to attend an in-person class because of geography, schedule or budget to get access to this material.
Price sliding scale $75-$120 - please decide where on the sliding scale you are, explanations are not required, and if the lower end of the scale is impossible for you, please contact us. If you are re-taking a class you've taken with us before, please deduct 50%.

Community-building is the newest of the five core classes of the Reclaiming Tradition – although the skills and teachings that it offers reach far beyond the bounds of any one tradition. We will explore and discuss what community is (and is not), how we can engage in and build healthy communities, and we will explore tools that can support community-building, such as consensus process, active listening, boundary making and tools for conflict resolution. Since this is an online class, we will be also be focusing on building and participating in online communities, including the fundamentals of using social media for outreach and communication.
