5 June – 9 June 2012
Diana was the first created before all creation; in her were all things; out of herself, the first darkness, she divided herself; into darkness and light she was divided. Lucifer, her brother and son, herself and her other half, was the light.
And so our journey begins. Diana, Queen of the witches and Lucifer, Lightbringer, her brother and lover. What do they have to teach us? What parts of ourselves are touched by the moon and sun, all of it. For five days we will work the mythic story from Italian witchcraft first published in a book by Charles Leland in 1899. We’ll do this through path working and ritual.
The teaching team for Avalon Spring 2012 is Anne-Marie (Bríghde Éire), Cassandra, Georgia Midnight Crow and Rook. Biographies will be up soon.
As soon as the teaching team has decided what part of the myth we will be focusing on, we will put it up. A flyer and booking form will be up soon. Payment by installments will be on offer.
Earth Spirit has been the home for Avalon and later, Avalon Spring intensives in the Reclaiming Tradition for many years. For the last few years we have tried different formats for our witchcamp; very low cost at Epping Forest, to long weekend formats, and the addition of Feri Tradition work in acknowledgement of who we are (the organisers) both Reclaiming and Feri, and the roots of much of Reclaiming core working.
We will be focusing more on the strengths of Reclaiming style in public ritual and witchcamps. All the teachers are Reclaiming witchcamp trained, and have always been so, and have been teaching for many years.
We will be offering a series of one day workshops based on community interest, in preparation for next year’s intensive and as a fund raising activity to help keep Avalon Springs sliding scale prices down. Workshop ideas so far are, Elemental magic in the Reclaiming Tradition, Sacred Drumming, Energy work basics for ritual, spell craft and healing, and more!
