Reclaiming WitchCamp
CloudCatcher WitchCamp is held each year on unceded Aboriginal land. We acknowledge the Yugambeh and Bundjalung Peoples, who—in the North and in the South—have cultivated and sustained the Dreaming of this vast and sacred landscape for tens of thousands of years.
We pay our respects to the Elders of this Land, past, present, and emerging,
and honour the Dreaming of this Country.
And we are humble in acknowledging complexity in these relationships with Land—that the erosion of culture caused by over two hundred years and wave after wave of colonisation, displacement, and violence, make it difficult to say today with any precision or subtlety whose Land we walk upon at Camp.
We acknowledge these past and present injustices and displacement. We seek to be in right relationship with the living custodians and the spirits of this Land, and hope that the work we as witches do together shifts our world each day closer to regeneration and justice.
Yarning with Aunty Pixie
CloudCatcher WitchCamp has been privileged to have Aunty Pixie as a special guest for the past two years. To honour this meaningful relationship, the Org team: Chani, Hazel, Hel, Leaf, and Gianna, alongside former Org and Reclaiming teacher Megan, gathered at the foot of Wollumbin on Bundjalung country, part of the great volcanic line of Eastern so-called Australia. Hel and Gianna arrived in the evening, where Aunty Pixie had thoughtfully prepared our space and welcomed us with water from the mountain and her captivating stories. The following day, Aunty Pixie generously guided us through important knowledge sharing, emphasising how we can improve our practice and manners at camp and in the lead-up to it. She reminded us that our work and gatherings are deeply rooted in honouring one another, our ancestors, and the land. We thank Aunty Pixie for hosting this gathering. Aunty’s stories and insights have illuminated our paths. The lessons imparted - about the importance of intention, the power of words, and the respect we owe to all beings will resonate in our hearts as we move forward together. As we prepare for our 2025 camp, "The World Tree and the Gift of Odin," continuing to honour what Aunty Pixie says is the most important part of moving forward to developing deeper relationship with country that will allow more relationship with other Indigenous representatives of country. “Magic is made up of tiny moments of true manners and thankfulness all folding into each other.” As we keep learning and processing the yarn, we honour the animals and the land and aim to create a space where we embody this spirit of connection.

CloudCatcher WitchCamp is a four-day magical intensive in the Reclaiming Tradition. This gathering offers an intensive experience in Reclaiming magic for all who seek to nurture deeper bonds with this land and community. It is informed by the beautiful landscapes of the Mt Warning Caldera, otherwise known as CloudCatcher.
We work with magic and community. Fusing intensive daily pathwork with spectacular evening rituals, we cultivate relationships with the natural surrounds to create a unique experience. We welcome newcomers as well as long-time practitioners of Earth-based spiritualities. The Camp offers a chance to gain new skills and hone old ones, to build the awareness desired as witch and priestex, and to develop the tools and knowledge to carry this work out into the world. WitchCamps are extraordinary events for extraordinary people!
CloudCatcher WitchCamp is traditionally held on the Springbrook Plateau (pictured above), halfway between Brisbane and Byron Bay.
