Our World Needs Your Magic

WAY OF THE WEAVER is a unique program of magical study and community building. Our learning modules, immersion programs, and circles embrace adults of all backgrounds and genders who are ready to learn a powerful skill set for spiritual transformation and growth. This training is rooted in the values of service, inclusive community, critical analysis of the oppressions that bewitch our society (capitalism, colonialism, racism, etc.), and deep respect for ancestral spiritual traditions from around the world.

What is a Weaver?
A Weaver is one who is wise in the ways of mending that which is torn, calling forth that which feeds our growth, and creating and holding space for transformation. Depending on tradition, those who walk the path of the Weaver are sometimes called priestess, priest, or priestx, or perhaps witch, wiseone, or shaper.

We believe that you are your own spiritual authority, and that by learning ritual skills and sacred technologies together in a space with clear boundaries and ethics, we can build our capacity and tap into our collective power for change. Way of the Weaver dismisses secrecy and exclusion. This is an open-source skill set with which to develop and/or deepen your own practice based on your background, callings, and ancestry.

To walk as a Weaver is to put yourself in service of balance and growth in the midst of our ever-changing world: 

• First, you will be in service to yourself: exploring that which is sovereign within you, tending your powers of resilience, learning to understand your shadow, and deepening your own well of joy and connection.

• Second, you will be in service to your community: those near and dear to your heart, your chosen families, the places where you live, and the wider world.

• Third, you will be in service to that which is greater: the Gods, the Spirits, the Unseen Ones that speak to your spirit.

The Way of the Weaver training is for you if:

• You want the inspiration, companionship, accountability, and fun of a group learning experience to develop daily spiritual practices and ritual facilitation skills.

• You have some familiarity with aspects of modern pagan or animist practices, OR you are new to this but excited to jump into one of these courses, and ready to do some extra background reading for context.

• You are excited to learn from two experienced European-American Weavers who have researched their own spiritual heritage, developed a nuanced analysis of how to avoid cultural appropriation, are seeking ways to dismantle white supremacy and colonizer culture in life and magic, and tithe a percentage of the income from this program to BIPOC initiatives.

• You are comfortable learning and growing in a space where all genders are welcome and we practice anti-racist and feminist values such as consent, inclusion, and equity in all our work. You are ready to communicate your needs and learn new habits that will make our space feel safer for all (such as using people's correct pronouns and unlearning racist phrases and expressions).

• You have internet access that will allow you to attend our learning sessions over the Zoom conference platform (you can also attend remote sessions by phone) and participate in group chat over the Signal app. You can run Signal on a smartphone, or install it on a computer. To activate a Signal account on a computer requires access to a device that can read a QR code, such as a smartphone or tablet.

• You are 18+ years of age.

• You are happy to maintain a sober space during our in-person and online work together.
