Whether you’re newly curious or have walked the path for years, the Gathering is a portal to mystery, transformation, and hands-on practical magic. Every workshop spans two full hours. These classes are spellcraft in motion, not static lectures.
Over the Weekend, You’ll
- Awaken your psychic senses with Mat Auryn and learn to shape reality through focused will and energetic mastery.
- Discover the waning moon with Gayle, the overlooked lunar cycle for releasing, clearing, and true manifestation.
- Journey to the Green Realm with Wendy Dooner and craft a protective rowan charm alongside the plant spirits.
- Explore how witchcraft helps you live a life you love with Judika Illes, through practical spells and ritual.
- Work the magic of words with Theresa Reed, turning intentions, petitions, and self-talk into living spells.
- Be held in a global circle of fellow witches, seekers, and soul-kin who walk this path with you.
The Schedule
Three days, eleven live sessions. Times shown in Pacific, Eastern, and UK. Every session is recorded, with six months of replay access.
Keynotes are held so the whole community can attend together. There is one keynote session per day. There are two other time slots each day where workshops run at the same time, so you’ll pick one to attend live, then catch the rest on replay for six months.

Theresa Reed · Keynote
The Magic of Words: Petitions, Intentions & Self-Talk
I’m a total word nerd (Gemini). As a writer, communicator, and magical practitioner, I know about the power of words. In this workshop, we’ll talk about why words are magical spells. Not just the words we use in spells, but also in our thoughts and how we speak to others, about others, and to ourselves. I’ll teach how to set powerful intentions, write effective petitions, and speak/think in ways that generate positive results.
Materials needed:
A journal
Small pieces of paper
Pens
Saturday, October 24
PT 9:00 – 11:00 AM · ET 12:00 – 2:00 PM · UK 5:00 – 7:00 PM
Gayle Emsley-Daniels · Workshop
Most people focus on the Full Moon and New Moon, but the waning moon holds one of the most overlooked keys to meaningful manifestation. In this workshop, you’ll discover why releasing, clearing, and creating space are essential before calling in what you truly desire. You will explore the energy of each waning moon phase, rituals and spellcraft to do around that phase, and earth-based practices that help you let go of limiting beliefs, stagnant energy, and old patterns. Leave with a deeper understanding of this powerful lunar cycle that you can return to every month.
Materials needed:
Pen
Paper
Candle (optional)
Tahverlee Anglen · Workshop
The Elemental Wheel of Descent
During our time together, we will chart the elements on a wheel by direction: North (earth and body), East (air and beliefs), South (fire and passion), and West (water and emotion). After we create a baseline wheel of all the properties of each element by direction, we’ll move on to creating a second, individual wheel to prepare for the sacred descent inward for the dark season, honoring what each direction asks of us. We’ll put your intentions for the season ahead into motion with a closing ritual and journey, carrying this wheel with you as a guide through the winter months.”
Materials needed:
A journal and pen for the elemental overview, plus two sheets of paper with a circle drawn on each (about the size of a dinner plate). Thicker paper such as card stock or construction paper works well for the two circles.
A tarot deck for casting your seasonal intention is optional.
Sarina Harz-Tolbert · Workshop
Ritual Recipes for Revolutionary Times
Witches have been gathering for thousands of years in community when obstacles, challenges, and chaos have shaken the foundation of daily life. In an ever-changing world, many communities have become so disconnected from ritual and ceremony, the seasons, nature, and each other that our nervous systems don’t have the capacity to keep going. During these times, we need rituals more than ever.
Join interfaith witch, licensed therapist, and certified wilderness rites-of-passage guide, Sarina Harz-Tolbert, for this session on creating ritual recipes to ground your nervous system, embody your ancestral wisdom, and feel liberated in your bones. This session will bring practical magic to your fingertips and lay the groundwork for accessible practices using what you already have around you.
Materials Needed:
Journal (or loose paper)
Pen, pencil, markers, or crayons
An item that is sacred to you (any size will do)

Madame Pamita · Workshop
Slavic Fortune Telling Secrets
From the mystical dance of wax in water to the hidden meanings in everyday objects, these fortune-telling traditions reflect a deep connection to Slavic folklore, nature, and the spiritual world. You’ll uncover how these practices provided guidance on love, marriage, and destiny, while discovering the magical elements woven into daily life.
Specifically, you will explore:
- Ancient Pagan Origins: The pagan roots of Ukrainian divination, including wax and water scrying, food sortilege, and other nature-based prophecies.
- Tools of Prophecy: How everyday items like mirrors, fire, water, and grains were transformed into powerful tools for seeing the future.
- Spells and Rites: The specific rituals and incantations used to seek answers about love, prosperity, and personal safety.
- Seasonal Magic: Timeless fortune-telling practices associated with key holidays and seasons, when the veil between worlds was believed to be thinnest.
This workshop is perfect for anyone fascinated by folklore, divination, or the rich mystical heritage of Ukraine. Through hands-on exploration, you’ll gain a deeper appreciation for the wisdom and magic of Slavic fortune-telling.
Materials needed
A notebook, pen, and an open mind.
Courtney Weber · Workshop
The Mórrígan is an ancient Irish goddess frequently associated with warfare and Magick. Yet in many myths, the Mórrígan shape-shifts, influencing major events in Irish mythology. This class will begin with a brief introduction to the Mórrígan, with a special focus on the myths in which the Mórrígan changes shape. Through original exercises inspired by these mythologies, participants will have the opportunity to explore ways they can shift the course of events in their personal lives.
Materials needed:
A notebook, pen, and an open mind

Mat Auryn · Keynote
The Psychic Witch: Sensing Energy, Shaping Reality
Magick isn’t rooted in empty ritual, recited words, or symbolic tools. Its power lies in the ability to sense and shape energy. In this immersive workshop, Mat Auryn presents the dynamic relationship between psychic ability and magick, revealing how they function as two expressions of the same current. You’ll leave with a daily energy-sensing practice and three exercises to strengthen your psychic awareness.
Materials needed:
A notebook, pen, and an open mind
Sunday, October 25
PT 9:00 – 11:00 AM · ET 12:00 – 2:00 PM · UK 4:00 – 6:00 PM
Wendy Dooner · Workshop
In this experiential workshop, you’ll learn to work with plants as conscious allies in your magical practice, beginning with rowan, a deeply protective and sacred tree of Scottish folk magic.
We’ll explore rowan’s Celtic folklore and medicine, and you’ll learn to craft a traditional rowan charm with berries and red thread for protection. You’ll undertake a guided plant spirit journey to the spirit of rowan, a repeatable practice for meeting plant spirits in the Green Realm. You’ll also learn how to prepare for a journey, ask a plant’s permission, and troubleshoot the common issues that arise when you’re new to journeying. You’ll discover how working with plant spirits can transform your magical practice, and leave with rowan as a sacred, protective ally by your side.
Materials needed:
Pen and paper or a journal.
A blanket and somewhere comfortable to sit or lie down.
Optional: fresh rowan berries (how many you have will determine the size of your charm; there is no exact number required) or small rowan twigs (enough to gently bend into a small circle the size of a large bracelet) and a length of red thread, if you’d like to make your charm along with the live demonstration.
HeatherAsh Amara · Workshop
Using the elements, we’ll explore spells for creating, releasing, and grounding. You’ll learn when to cast a spell, why, and when not to. We’ll work with simple things you likely already have to hand: a candle, a couple of herbs, a flower, a jar. Everything you learn here is something you can repeat at home without buying anything special. Together we’ll cover incense, candle, jar, oil, and herbal spells, and what each one is best suited to. You’ll also learn the difference between warrior spells and goddess spells, and how to choose between them depending on what you are facing. You’ll leave with a complete understanding of how to craft each type of spell, and a PDF to guide you as you practice on your own.
Materials needed:
A notebook, pen, and an open mind.
Annamarie Teevan ·Workshop
The label ‘witch’ was once used to shame other women who were seen as different: those who felt deeply, noticed what others missed, challenged the status quo, or refused to conform. Today we may recognize many of these experiences through the lens of neurodivergence, sensitivity, and intuition. This experiential session explores the crossover between neurodivergence and the witch identity, inviting us to reclaim the Witch as a symbol of wisdom, difference, and self-trust. Through reflection, discussion, and a tarot practice, you’ll explore the parts of yourself you have masked, reconnect with your inner knowing, and consider how your differences may be your greatest source of guidance.”
Materials needed:
A tarot deck. A journal or notebook and pen. A candle.

Judika Illes · Keynote
Why has witchcraft survived for so long? Because, despite rumors to the contrary, witchcraft is, indeed, intended for personal gain. It exists to help you attain your goals and dreams. Witchcraft’s purpose is to enable the spellcaster to achieve safety, security, prosperity, and happiness – in short, to paraphrase the great blues master Muddy Waters, to live a life you love and love the life you live.
Join Judika Illes, author of Encyclopedia of 5,000 Spells, to explore how witchcraft can help you live your best life. This is a practical class. Judika will share her own experiences, as well as providing spells, rituals, and visualizations to help you gain mastery over your life’s direction.
Materials needed:
No materials are needed, but bring your questions, and an open mind.
