2025 Reg Opens April 26!

Registration for Mysteries 2025 opens on April 26.

We are experimenting with a “lottery” to accommodate camp overflow this year – you need to register between April 26-30 to be part of the lottery. We will do the drawing around May 7 and notify folks if they are registered or on the wait list. Later registrants (after May 1) will be added at the end of the wait list.

If you are not already on our googlegroup for updates, email SamhainMysteries@gmail.com

Mysteries 2021 Probably Full

We got a burst of early registration for our 2021 in-person camp, and camp is now full.

While this is exciting to organizers, we are also sad that we will have to turn folks away.

People sometimes drop out – if you want to go, please go ahead and visit our reg page, complete the online form, and leave the deposit line blank.

You may also ask to join the googlegroup to be notified about future events.

Reclaiming Chants!

Here are some chants we sang at camp – and a lot more! There’s a great 45-minute drum-trance meditation by Starhawk at the end.

Reclaiming Chants Playlists

We sang at least these, mainly from our Campfire Chants album:

  • Body of the Earth (for our final spiral)
  • Weave and Spin
  • Rising of the Moon
  • Cycles of the Moon
  • My Soul
  • Goodnight Sweet Witches

Four Short Docs – Before Camp

Hi folks, Mysteries of Samhain organizers want to circulate four short documents among our 2019 circle. Please read these before camp – we will not test you on them, but life sometimes does!

Questions or problems with downloads: <samhainmysteries@gmail.com>

Charge of the Goddess – an older poem by Doreen Valiente that Reclaiming has long referenced

Reclaiming’s Principles of Unity – the basic document that united our various camps and communities

DARC Letter – DARC (De-colonizing Actions in Reclaiming Communities) a group of Black, Indigenous, People of Color, and Mixed Race folks – this letter was presented at the recent all-Reclaiming Dandelion Gathering, with a request to circulate it in our communities

How to Be Less Racist, by Rachel Munchkins – Rachel is a member of the DARC group, and is part of Samhain camp as well as teaching at CA Witchcamp and Teen Earth Magic.
