The ways we teach magic in Reclaiming are manifold, ranging from weekly classes or weekend workshops to individual apprenticeships and longterm training – and, of course, our annual weeklong intensives, also known as Witchcamps (see BCWC on the left for more info). Classes are usually co-taught by at least two teachers, modelling shared power as well as providing different perspectives on the material.
Reclaiming has four core classes, which have been developed and used by a continually growing web of teachers across North America and Europe. The first class, Elements of Magic, is usually a prerequisite for the others – Rites of Passage, the Iron Pentacle, and the Pearl Pentacle. Many teachers also require that students have taken the Iron Pentacle before the Pearl.
