the hidden house
Something wild is afoot. Some new wonder comes creeping over this hallowed and fallowed ground seeking its imagined home, following fate’s thread toward a lost dwelling, enchanting its otherworldly footprints so the kindred souls might find their way through the haunted forest where the air is thick with folklore and ghosts, where every dusk is a once-upon-a-time.
Can you see it?
Deep in these untamed borderlands stands a stone-and-bone house, a hidden and forbidden den where the wolf- women circle ‘round the midnight hearth and speak of shapeshifters, wild kings, hag-children, old charms and new scripts. Here, we name those wicc’d edge-dwellers our kin. Here, we witness the once- and-future stories as they slow dance with our more beastly shadows, as the world turns and churns, and we cast our spells in the space between what was and what will be.
Behind the red door of The Hidden House is a perpetual midnight where the altar-fires are always lit. You are welcome to join us here, as the Yaga’s cauldron bubbles over with ceremony, story, and spellcraft. Our shared circle is threaded with timely work for the knowing witch, including ritual, word-witchery, divination, and spellwork.
The Full Moon Hour
In the old traditions, the new lunation begins when the moon is full. Each month when that silver hag’s eye in the sky is at its brightest, we will move through our shared ritual, a video hour of wyrd invitations for the wild unseen to participate in your experience. These full moon rituals may include storytelling ceremony, timely discussions of the pertinent energies and the witch’s recommended orientation, spellwork and other symbolic actions to amplify intentions such as manifestation, banishing, healing, and protection, seership and dreamwork, and more. These rituals are generally presentational in nature and pre- recorded so each participant can decide the right time and place to engage with the work. For the Witching Moons of Autumn, we will be meeting live for our Full Moon Hours, on August 1st, September 5th, and October 6th at 12pm ET. If the Full Moon Hour is a live event, it will be recorded for those who are unable to join live.
The Friday Invitation
Thereafter, each week, participants receive an optional invitation that might become their daily witch’s practice; these invitations include (but are not limited to) body prayer, word-witchery, altar-side practice, long-game spells, and scrying work. The weekly invitations come on Fridays (Freya’s Day) in the form of an audio recording by Danielle Dulsky and/or written text. Only in the event that the full moon falls on or close to Friday will there be no Friday Invitation. The Friday Invitations are where our Hidden House really comes to life. You are very welcome to comment on these weekly invitations, ask questions, and share your ongoing reflections with our coven.
