Paths for CloudCatcher WitchCamp 2012
We are Alive as the Earth is Alive
An Embodied Journey with the Elements
with Paul Eaves and Fiona Mariposa
Join us for a playful, experiential, earth based journey with the Elements – Earth, Air, Fire and Water. In this path, we will use all of our senses to explore and deepen our personal relationships within the sacred lush natural world. We will open our beings to the elemental wisdom of Reclaiming Tradition magic. In the Elements Path, we will explore magical skills and ritual arts from the Reclaiming tradition, including: the crafting of sacred space and rituals, cleansing and grounding techniques, energy working, trance, relationship with Deity, spellworking, and personal practice. The Elements are potent teachers – they have much to teach us about ourselves, and about the art of weaving magic that changes the world.
The Elements Path is perfect for first time WitchCampers, those new to Reclaiming as well as experienced witches. Our path will give you skills to deepen your participation in the evening rituals at camp, as well as magical practices to bring home with you for your personal and community work. Our intention is to embody this elemental work in joy, as we embrace the richness of the land we walk upon and continue to manifest our individual and worlds' transformation.
Empower, Awaken, Ignite
with Madrone Jack and Gede Parma
Explore with us over four days of ritual and magic, what it means for us to be empowered Witches in the world. We will be looking at our core woundings that often hold us back or keep us in patterns that do not serve us. How do we begin to magically reclaim our power from within? Embodying our magic from a place of self love; renewing our perfect love and perfect trust and willingingly surrendering to the Great Goddess. Join us in exploring ways of taking our spirituality into active leadership out in the world as Witches. Choose to begin the journey of empowering and igniting the Wild Self within, setting that aspect of ourselves free. We will work with our creative and sensual energy using breath work, music and drums. Self love and blessing practice; potent spellcrafting; connecting to the Earth through quiet listening and conscious awareness; ecstatic movement and awakening; facing our fears from this place of heightened awareness. Through deep emotional work we will dive into the abyss...this path is not for the faint of heart. This is an advanced path for those who have taken the Elements of Magic or equivalent, and have an already established magical practice. We hope all students will leave with with a magical tool kit to take out to our homes and communities, imbuing our personal daily practices with Empowerment, Awakening and Ignition.
The Serpent Path
with Jane Meredith and Karin Wolfsister
scenting the air
stripping away old skins
shape shifting
spiralling into our selves...
The Serpent Path will explore embodied magic.
Working with breath, ecstatic song and dance, the landscape and our own dreamings we will follow the serpent paths; peering into the shadows and shedding our outer layers to reveal our innermost selves.
Inspired by Egyptian serpent magic, kundalini energy, the great Rainbow Serpent and the Tree of Knowledge we will listen to the heartbeat of the the Earth and follow our own inner knowing; taking surprising twists and turns into transformation. As seekers of Magic we dare to take what we know out of our heads and let it coil downwards, into our bodies... and as this essence swirls and sinks into our inner core we are inspired to rewrite the landscape around us.
ssssssss
The Serpent Path is an advanced path. We recommend that aspiring serpents have previously taken Elements of Magic, and/or have strong familiarity with self-responsibility, trance states and grounded magical experience.
