brings forth Mystery as a Teacher Priestess Writer Influences: Reclaiming witchcraft, faerie magic, Magaian Way, ecofeminism |
| BrightFlame is a teacher,
writer and priestess who brings forth Mystery. She is
part of the New York and Vermont
Witchcamp Communities and taught at the latter in August
'04. She leaped from being a Dianic priestess for a
decade into Reclaiming in 1995 at the first Vermont camp.
Active in feminist communities, she has been a presenter and
priestess at Womongathering (an annual spiritual festival
drawing over 300 women) for over 14 years, and has been on
the teaching staff of WomenCircles (Rowe Camp, MA) for more
than 8 years. She most typically offers classes, rituals and events in Bucks
County, PA and New York City, and founded Delaware Valley
Reclaiming. She has offered many iterations of Elements of Magic (the
basic class in Reclaiming Witchcraft), as well as
Reclaiming’s Pentacle of
Iron and other core classes.
She loves to play in the forest as well as near the
ocean, and she finds magical spots in urban areas as well.
Her passion is protecting wild and natural lands, and
promoting a sustainable, regenerating world. Some of BrightFlame’s specialities include: sensing and shaping energy, leading trance journeys, creating labyrinths, storytelling in ritual form, working with faeries and land spirits, aspecting god/desses and introducing people to the Mysteries. BrightFlame has developed and taught classes on journeying to the Goddess, feeling the god within, tapping intuition and creativity, sensing energy, walking the labyrinth, connecting to the Earth, creating sacred space, and has adapted and taught courses in Reclaiming witchcraft. Her environmental column, Living Lightly on the Earth, has appeared in regional newspapers. She is currently working on a novel that weaves a Goddess tale. BrightFlame produces events aligned with her work, such as the November '99 program in Philadelphia, Excavating the Great Mother: The Life and Work of Marija Gimbutas. This program included filmmaker Donna Read, artist Cristina Biaggi, composer/harper Julia Haines and other internationally-acclaimed guests, and benefitted the documentary on archaeologist Gimbutas that Read and Starhawk have created. BrightFlame has hosted workshops with Starhawk and other special guests. |
