WITCH CAMP
An Unforgettable Immersive Journey of Spellcasting, Rituals and Community at a Historical Mansion in New Orleans.
"When you show up for your magick, your magick shows up for you."
“Witch Camp was one of the most important experiences of my life. It filled me up with so much love and appreciation that I barely recognized myself. I became a new woman in Witch Camp because I recognized my gifts. Leaving Witch Camp - I felt reborn and I can’t wait to go back !” - Shana
What is the Witch Camp: The Magician Experience?
Witch Camp is an immersive journey that has a real life magickal story arc. Each day, you will gain mystical knowledge and experience with spells and rituals that build upon each other. Then, together as a group, we put all of our practices into action in our high magick ceremony on the final night.
Immerse Yourself in the Mystery & Magick:
- Remember the power within you as you honor your own story and you recite the secret spell to uncover your own Grimoire from the Tree of Story.
- Reignite your own sense of wonder in a unique historic space designed to encourage creativity and spark your supernatural side.
- Embrace the Wild Witch that you are as you are anointed with golden frankincense, myrrh & amber as you learn high ceremonial rituals to boost your magick, connect to your Ancestors and increase your confidence.
- Cultivate your own unique natural abilities as you are surrounded by a nurturing, safe and inclusive community of magick-minded friends.
- Gather around the cauldron at the bonfire to learn Sigil Songs and perform music magick with handmade instruments.
- Carve candles with intention and learn passed-down folk magick secrets of candle spells from my Bohemian ancestors.
- Learn the mysteries of rootwork from New Orleans herbal practitioner, LaReina and craft your own mystical tea to take home.
- Uncover magickal spell casting secrets that they wouldn't let me put into print in Bohemian Magick!
- Embrace the power of your own personal magick as you weave spells and gain step-by-step guidance (because Witch Camp has a limited capacity of 13 campers per week - this personal experience offers individual attention and a full, connected experience!)
- Weave a spell upon a magickal talisman that is yours to wear and charm forever.
- Make memories (and a community of Witch kindred friends) of a lifetime in the Mystery Mansion of New Orleans!
''The thing that I truly cherish is the amount of crafted magic we create and have to take home with us. To remember, that the sisterhood, the Magick and our ownership of the power we all have is real. It's there, inside of us. I look at the magick crafts we made and the time and rituals we did making them. I feel the love, the sisterhood and I am instantly connect back to being in a safe and powerful place." - Midnight Ruby
The Story Behind Witch Camp
One of the biggest questions I get is: "How do I know if I'm a Witch?"
I believe that we were all born with magickal gifts.
When we were children, we allowed ourselves time to play, to create art without judgement, to use our intuition & our wild imaginations.
Witch Camp provides that safe space to ignite that spark of childhood, but now with the power and wisdom of your adult self.
My personal mission in creating Witch Camp is to uplift and support you on your own journey, so that you may fully embrace your unique supernatural gifts and uncover powers you might not have even been aware of.
Witch Camp is also a place for you to discover new aspects of the Craft with hands-on instruction in a nurturing learning environment. All of the Witch Camp teachers focus on nonjudgemental learning techniques to create space for campers to try new ideas, to volunteer new imaginative ways of magick, to share and to encourage new ways to tap into their own individual high magick without fear of failure, mistakes or ridicule. With this method of learning and sharing, I have witnessed people brand new to the Craft lead powerful ritual when they listened to what their heart and their own intuition told them.
I believe that true magick is a matter of remembering what's already within you and giving that a voice.
My mission is to create a safe space in this fellowship that you can always call home.
We are a Witch Camp family.
''Each and every moment, from quiet journaling in the woods to the grand group ceremonies, I cherish dearly. Witch Camp has had a profound affect on my life; helping me to meet like-minded friends and to weave magick into my daily life." - Heather Blanchard
The Witch Camp Creed
Respect. Honor. Kindness. Soul Community.
Witch Camp welcomes all levels of experience from brand-new beginners to advanced practitioners. We believe that everyone has their own unique magick to share and also to learn at Witch Camp. This retreat is open to all female, gay men, queer, trans, non-binary and two-spirit identified people. We foster a climate of purposeful inclusion, an environment where all can feel safe, valued, cared for and given an opportunity to form meaningful connections with each other. We cherish the diversity of humanity, a diversity which includes differences in age, race, ethnicity, natural origin, range of abilities, sexual orientation and gender identity, because when we learn and share our unique experiences in a thriving, safe community, that's where the real magick happens.
