DESCRIPTION
Step into your authentic self for a weekend and explore your relationship with the five points of the Iron Pentacle: Sex, Pride, Self, Power, and Passion. We believe that these points are our sacred birthrights, and we’re willing to claim them.
The Iron Pentacle is one of the core elements of Reclaiming Tradition of contemporary American witchcraft. It challenges us to look at our relationships with the qualities/energies of sex, pride, self, power and passion; and then integrate these energies into our lives and magic. It is definitely shadow work!.
Using trance, spellwork and ritual, we will experience the connections between these points and what happens when the points become out of balance. We will access each point of the pentacle using techniques including guided meditation, art, creativity, song, movement, and sacred play. Together, we will learn to balance the Iron Pentacle within ourselves and bring it more fully into our lives.
TEACHING TEAM
Claudia Manifest (New Hampshire) is a Reclaiming initiate and a devote to Feri who strives to combine the knowledge to be learned from her Elders in the craft with the Wisdom she has gained from discovering and developing her own personal practices and magical arts. She has been teaching witchcraft at camps, intensives, workshops and classes for the past 15 years. She loves the practical, manifestation magics of creating, recognizing, and honoring the sacred in our daily lives. Her magical daily practice includes Iron Pentacle work, grounding, Time magic, Yoga, Tarot, child rearing and cooking; all as magical and intentional acts. Striving always to welcome in and acknowledge more beauty, balance, and delight in her life, she is excited to share, learn, and practice the Art and Craft of living a sensual, magical, grounded life with you all.
Amanda (Montreal) is an ecstatic Witch following an initiatory mystery tradition of North American witchcraft. She has been involved in Reclaiming since 2003 and teaching within the tradition since 2006. She is currently a member of the Reclaiming Teachers in Training and Service (RTITS) guild in New England. Her personal practice celebrates life and places a strong emphasis on personal responsibility and relationship with Mystery, including deity, the ancestors, spirits, nature, and our selves. She believes strongly in having an extensive magical toolkit that complements real-world skills.
