California Witchcamp Teachers 2026
Dominic Bodden
I am an illustrator and a witch, a creator and disciple of Mystery. I live and weave magic in Lenapehoking (Lenape homelands) known by many as New York City. I jumped into the Reclaiming cauldron at 16 and in 2014 attended my first California Witchcamp. Soon after, I cut my teeth as a priestess by joining the Ritual Planning Cell in Los Angeles where I co-created public rituals for the community.
My art is an extension of my magical practice. I set an intention for each endeavor, and I use my intuition as an ever-present influence that guides my pen and brush. I bring ideas to life through art by utilizing my unique perspective. When I speak through art, the spirits listen.
At the heart of everything I do is a deep curiosity and a devotion to art, knowledge, and magic. I want to co-create stories that become the mythology for the world to come. I want to activate, transform, and inspire. If you have a world-shaking vision, I want to help you realize it. I believe as witches, we can create the world we want to see. We are the spell.
Phoenix
I am a blue-eyed wanderer and passionate devotee of the Goddess who currently resides on the land of my daughter’s people, the Coastal Miwok, currently known as Sonoma County, California. I am a restless seeker of knowledge and magick; always yearning to learn more, dig deeper, and dive into mystery. I hope to never quench my thirst in spiritual development. My exploration of magick expresses itself through writing books, creating spells, crafting rituals, teaching, and devotion.
My spiraling path of the witch began officially in the mid-1990s when I was using a wooden handled butter knife, stolen from my mother’s kitchen, as an athame. Shortly thereafter, I attended my first public Reclaiming ritual and was immediately hooked. Now I find myself a Reclaiming initiate, teacher, and ritualist; deeply in love with the tradition. I am devoted to several deities from different pantheons, always looking to expand my relationships with the Divine.
Beyond my love of Reclaiming, I am also a 2nd degree Gardnerian Wiccan, hoodoo practitioner, and Druid initiate. I have written several books on magick, spellcrafting, and witchcraft. I have traveled all over the world exploring, making, and sharing magick.
Currently, I am blessed to work as a professional witch and tarot reader; offering readings and spell crafting support to my clients and students. I am also the owner of an esoteric Goddess shop called Milk & Honey, that is located in Sebastopol California.
Ultimately, I believe in beauty and magick. Every day I am reminded of the wonder that resides all around us. I hope to share that beauty with others, because when we can change the heart of just one person (even if that person is ourselves) we can truly change the world. The time for revolution is here, the Goddess is alive, and magick is afoot.
Yule Danu: She/her
I am a Mexican American Indian (Aztec, Apache, Cherokee) and Irish woman. My ancestors lived in California and New Mexico before it was part of the United States. I give honor and thanks to the Patwin Band of the Wintun peoples tribes who have remained committed to the stewardship of the land I reside on. I am blessed to share in their sacred circles.
I am an animist witch who is guided by allies, ancestors, intuition, and communion with the Divine. I find no conflicts in being a scientist and a witch. The study of chemistry and magick both require an understanding of how matter and energy interact to manifest an outcome. Therefore, I use my understanding to affect healing, access intuition and prophesy, and manifest change. I began studying the Craft with my first teacher at 10 years old and have identified as a witch for 30+ years. Led to Reclaiming in 2005, I found my community of inclusion, openness, ecstatic rituals, and learning that was the yearning of my soul. My sacred fires include animist healing, priestessing, community rituals, intimate deep magick, journeying to the underworld, death care, home funerals, and performing rites of passages.
Amoret: She/her
I’m Amoret, a mystic, mother, partner, and sacred space holder rooted in Pittsburgh, PA. I’ve been involved with Reclaiming since 2000, and I was initiated in the Reclaiming and Feri traditions in 2010 and 2012, respectively. My work is rooted in devotion, community, and mystery, guided by deep listening, ritual practice, and the belief that rest and inner steadiness are sacred responsibilities.
Beyond Reclaiming, I am also a Vedic Meditation initiator in the Shankaracharya lineage. Meditation has been the foundation of my inner transformation since 2021, and my training has included extensive study and a three-month
residential immersion in northern India. I share this tradition with care and integrity, as a practice of stillness that strengthens discernment, steadies the nervous system, and helps people stay luminous in dark times.
Through all of my practices, I return to what is simple, true, and alive. I’m most interested in what expands capacity and resilience, making Love actionable, and Joy a lived reality.
Caduceus
I am a long-time witch of the Reclaiming Tradition, which I encountered while living in the Kizh/Tongva territory of so-called Los Angeles. At Samhaintide 2021, I moved to the swamplands of Berlin, Germany, where the seasons sing so differently. My craft practices include: the subtle threads of community-weaving, interlacing magic into the tapestry of the corporate world, and (re)introducing myself to place and spirit. My work in the tradition has included co-creating public rituals, magically mundane administration, and teaching classes. My work with camps has included teaching at California Witchcamp and CloudCatcher Witchcamp in Australia, as well as serving as an organizer for WorldWide WitchCamp. In all my magic, I seek to mediate the gaps between what was, what is, and what could be through co-created, ecstatic ritual, transformative trance work, and a deep connection to the divine. I am guided by deities ranging from Iberia to Sumeria and use magic and deed to rebuild that ancient, amorphous connection humanity once had with ourselves and our world — for in that connection we can all reclaim our birthright.
Diana Love
I’m a queer witch of Northern European ancestry, a mom, a partner, an accidental naturalist, a gardener, and a healer.
I’ve been a Reclaiming and Feri witch for 20 years and was initiated into both traditions in 2021. I’m a long time Winter Witchcamper, and a recent lover of WorldWide Witchcamp. I started moving into organizing by serving as a priestess in Freya’s Bower, where I deepened my relationship to her in her role as a lover of pleasure. In 2019 I was chosen to be the keeper of Brisingamen, a magical necklace that is tended and cared for by a member of our community. My year with Brisingamen was transformative! I learned to fiercely and completely in love with myself, which informs my magic and how I move through the world today!
I live and play on Hocaak land, also known as Madison, Wisconsin. This land has long been shaped by the mysteries of water and ice, creating gently rolling hills, immense lakes, flowing rivers, and so much beauty and power. This land was also loved by the mound builder cultures of thousands of years ago, who shaped the land into effigies of the power they knew was moving right under the surface. Living in a place so powerfully alive has shaped my magic to attune to the land, the mysteries, and the spirits that live among us.
I have dedicated relationships with Freya, Odin (a recent and VERY surprising addition to my pantheon!), and Mama Spider. The thread that ties these together is embodied magic. My body moves to magic, and magic stirs in my bones and blood. I love helping others feel into their bodies, to know their magic, so we can all tap into that worlds changing power that is so desperately needed today.
Gwydion
Gwydion is a queer man, born and raised on a farm in the San Francisco Bay Area. He has been priestessing and teaching in the Reclaiming San Francisco Bay Area and international communities for over 30 years. He is a devoted science geek, who is fascinated by protein structures and cell surface receptors but equally interested in botany, herbal medicine, and ecological interdependency. He thrives when standing at the intersection of science, magic, and mystery-- weaving spells into the cauldron of molecular sequences and genomic memory. As his beard turns increasingly gray, he can be found brewing potions and crafting magical tools. He lives on the land of the Ramaytush speaking Ohlone people in San Francisco’s Mission District.
Rebecca Fowler
Hi, I’m Rebecca. I live and work in what is now called Southern California, on the unceded ancestral lands of the Tongva (Kizh), Cahuilla, and Payómkawichum peoples. I am a teacher, mentor, and community weaver, as well as a partner, mother, daughter, sister, friend, gardener, and healer.
My work is rooted in supporting people through times of transition and transformation, including changes in work, relationships, identity, loss, and grief. I am especially drawn to helping others navigate liminal spaces with clarity, compassion, and resilience.
I have been working in the Reclaiming tradition since 1997. I am deeply grateful for the communities that have shaped me and the paths that continue to unfold my learning. I look forward to practicing, listening, and growing together.
