What Reclaiming Core Classes Are...
While you might want to take some Reclaiming core classes, what exactly does that mean? What happens when you take all of the classes? Is there a certain order in which you should take the classes? What if you took other classes in Witchcraft? Do those 'count'?
North Bay Reclaiming wanted to help you answer these questions because we realize that our vocabulary and experience is different after taking the classes and teaching the classes.
Core Classes are Reclaiming Classes which have been designated by the Bay Area Teachers' Cells as the basic curriculum in the Reclaiming Tradition. Completion of one or more of the Core Classes may be a prerequisite for other classes.
Here's what you might want to know about Reclaiming Core Classes - more information to come!
Elements of Magick - With the art of magic, we deepen our vision and focus our will, empowering ourselves to act in the world. In this class we begin the practice of Magic, Witchcraft, and Goddess spirituality by working with the Elements of Magic: Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Spirit. Techniques include: visualization, sensing and projecting energy, chanting, trance, creating magical space, spellcraft, and structuring rituals. Group experience follows feminist consensus process.
Iron Pentacle - Using our magical skills, moving and shaping energy, transforming ourselves through trance to explore the five points of our inner pentacle: Sex (primal energy), Self, Passion, Pride (self-esteem), and Power (effectiveness in the worlds). The final class is a ritual created by the students. We ask that all applicants be committed to attending all classes. Prerequisite: Elements of Magic class.
Pentacle of Pearl - We will work with the deep, healing energies of the Pentacle of Pearl, moving through the five points: Love, Law, Wisdom, Power, and Knowledge. Prerequisite: Elements of Magic or equivalent.
Rites of Passage - Rites of Passage focuses on dreams, myths, and language, using traditional and non-traditional tales and techniques to create a personal rite of passage. Through storytelling, trance, release work and dreams we receive our challenge(s), meet our helpers, work through our blocks and emerge renewed, reborn, culminating with a ritual created by the students. Prerequisite: Elements of Magic class or equivalent.
