What Reclaiming Core Classes Are...

Picture
Core Classes are Reclaiming Courses which have been designated by the Bay Area Teachers' Cells as the basic curriculum in the Reclaiming Tradition. Most of these classes have been taught continuously in the Bay Area, around the U.S and the world for over 35 years. 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...

Elements of Magic - 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/god/mysterious ones 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.  This class is often a pre-requisite for other Reclaiming classes and witchcamps.  Typically offered as a six week class or weekend intensive.

Iron Pentacle - The Iron Pentacle is one of the core Reclaiming tools for self-transformation. Using our magical skills, moving and shaping energy, we transform ourselves by exploring the five points of our inner pentacle: Sex, Self, Passion, Pride and Power. These points 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. During this intermediate workshop we will explore the Iron Pentacle through different exercises and techniques including ritual, trance, energy work, self-awareness, communication, journaling, and art. We'll also work on areas where growth and balance are required, and learn tools to take this work out into our daily lives. Although the Iron Pentacle can be challenging, it is a powerful tool for personal transformation, which is the work of a lifetime. Typically offered as a six week class or weekend intensive

The Pearl Pentacle  is a powerful tool for integrating our personal vision with our work in community and in the wider world. Through movement, meditation, trance, and ritual, we will explore, deepen, and heal our connections with the points of the Pearl Pentacle. Using magic we will delve into the myriad ways these powerful forces can be shaped and channeled in our internal growth, our actions, our relationships, and our work in community.
