Going to a Witch Camp in the Woods | Vlog 26

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ก.ย. 2024
- Join me as I journey into the forests of Vancouver Island to attend a 3 Day witch camp with other witches, pagans and earth based people! It was an incredible experience full of rituals, ceremonies, crafts, friendship building and community making. At this particular camp we were celebrating Beltane, the celtic fire festival, and welcoming the sun as he was about to overpower the moon. We danced the maypole, did a circle dance, jumped the fire and so many more magical things.
So much gratitude to everyone at witch camp who agreed to have this weekend filmed for this video and to Jenuine for creating this witch camp!

The fact that this even exists is awesome. I want to know everything about the witch camp. Thank you for sharing. Rarely do I ever get to witness anything like this on TH-cam - even on my favorite witch channels. I subscribed.
Aw amazing, thank you so much! I'm so grateful that this community trusted me to tell this story and capture all these raw moments so that we could share the power of intentional earth-based community! I recently went to our Samhain witch camp, which was a completely different experience. I'll be sharing that story soon! I'm so happy to have you join this journey on my channel, thank you for subscribing! 💕 ✨
God loves you.
*I was raised Christian and never allowed to do anything witch related, but when I would do general crafting and things in life it was totally like what witches do with their intentional crafts.*
*All the decorated areas were beautifully done.*
*I love this video so much, what a wonderful time you all had.*
Thank you for sharing your story and for watching! 🧹✨
Many of christian saying and traditions are taken from our pagan culture and changed then claimed to be cabrahamic in nature wich they aren't.
Your soul understands this and longs for a more furfilling life than begging for forgiveness for mere existing from a tyranical god.
Free yourself from the ropes of restriction and be reborn.
I remember being taught how to dance around the maypole at school for our mayday fair. It's amazing how things can change in 40 years, the older I get the more I realise how important it is to preserve our heritage. I'm from the UK.
Wow that's amazing! I totally agree, it's difficult to find Pagan, or earth based, groups who follow old traditions. The more I learn, and the more my journey with Paganism and the wheel of the year deepens, the more I want people to know about its beauty and meaning 🧹✨
Until I was 12 we did a Maypole/spring festival every year. Our church did it Easter egg hunt and pinics. Then we moved and I never seen it done anywhere else (the maypole/ spring festival) . I was told that it was old fashioned and know did it anymore. It was until I was 18 that I learned what it really stood for/ where it came from. Though in the early 80s it was not easy finding info you had to dig deep.
BTW I live in the United States. And I'm in my 50s but I have studied alone and practice alone in secret all these years
@sorciere... wonderful! Thank you for sharing! The maypole dance is my favourite sabbat tradition and I’m excited to do it again this Beltane! I hope you find an opportunity near you 🥰✨🌞
I got to attend my first Pagan Festival the first part of this past October and it was a truly magical 4 days. It's so amazing being able to worship and be around like minded individuals. This path can be a lonely one, so it absolutely lifted my spirits and fed my soul to be able to join in during rituals and learn from the classes I attended. Blessings to all!❤🌿🌺
Wow amazing! We have a 1 day Pagan Pride Festival here on the Island but I wasn't able to go this year. I would love to go to one that was several days. I think that so many solitary witches don't know the power of community yet - I hope this video can show them what is out there! 💕 ✨
Can i get the location please of Said festival I wish to be with my people.
@novamangnus5796 hey there! This is a private group on Vancouver island! 🥰✨
That was beautiful. I love how people accept each other during these kinds of events.
I love the lady who said I think I'm a witch but if not then I love hanging out with them lol
🥰✨💕🔮
I believe I am a witch because I like doing many of the same things, but because I don't know any rituals since nobody taught me, I still wasn't completely sure, and because of that, I wasn't let in to the group and had no chances of discovering myself even further. In this video I find it very cool that even people who think they are but aren't completely sure, is invited for the witch camp. It's really open to people who is about to discover themself, and I think I just wish I had the same chance.❤
Thank you for your comment! I’m so sorry that you’re having a hard time connecting with a group. Rituals can have so many different meanings and look different ways. It can be something you do personally at home like how you make tea for example! Keep searching for the right fit and it will come! For many years I explored different groups and teachings and I still am 🥰 wishing you many blessings!
Although I am not a witch and identify as an independet Druid, this was amazing to watch. It was fascinating to see all the components, and truly see all the like practices. Thank you for sharing!!!
Thank you so much for watching! This is one of the reasons I love this community - so many different people and different beliefs coming together. I recently went to our Samhain witch camp and I'll share that story soon ❤️🔥 ✨
Beautiful in all ways! Blessings x Colette
The gorgeous sense of community in this video made me cry with joy 🥰
Aw thank you so much! This means so much to us! 🥰✨
It's so lovely to see so many loud and proud witches! Our voices are powerful and we shouldn't have to hide in the shadows ever again! Blessed be and thank you and all in attendance for sharing! 🖤
I agree! Thank you so much for watching and for uplifting our voices 💕 🧹✨
This is so wonderful. 💛🌒🌕🌘💛
Thank you Bryan! ✨🧹🥰
im over here yelling nooo dont leave the joie de vir tarot . i love that deck ❤❤ id love to go to a camp like this and meet like minded souls
Oh nooo haha I never connected with that deck and knew someone would love it! My favourite deck is the Morgan-Greer Tarot so I tend to just stick with that one most often ✨
This made me take a big healing breath. Wonderful video! 🌞
Aw that’s so nice to hear 🥰 Thank you for watching!
As a ATR eclectic/Rootwoman this was very interesting to watch how different it is from our events and camps. Im just glad it even exists ill say that much. Happy witches always make me happy. Its better than alot of other things people could be doing. Beautiful❤ thank you for sharing ❤
Thank you for watching!! 🧹✨
I love this! You know I feel I was guided to find your page! It just popped up on my algorithm! Funny thing is I just picked some gray birch twigs and a song came in my mind we circle around the witches tree and then I found your channel! Thanks for sharing this ❤
Aw amazing, thank you for sharing! I'm so glad you found my channel. So much magic is coming up 💕
i wish i had people like this, who i can be opened up to.
aw I totally hear you - it's not easy to find like-minded communities that you can feel safe in. It took me a long time to find my people, even when I was surrounded by like-minded people too! I'm realizing that creating the community I crave is a priority for me 🧹✨
@@BriannaShambrook thanks for understanding me :D
Witch camps and retreats exist everywhere, try and find one in your area!
When a witch a there monthly period, the period blood so powerful, the blood can be used to anoint ,witch's magical tools❤❤❤
Absolutely! 100% agree 🩸 ✨
The genuine compassion and joy in this video made me cry
I'm so happy this video brought you joy! 💕 ✨
Looks fun!!! I want to find a witch camp near me!!
This looks fun. I would love to go to something like this!
Can anyone add a little more information on the red cord ceremony and where that comes from/what it’s for? Looked so beautiful!
Absolutely! A cording system is like degrees within your self discovery. Many different covens and mystery schools have a cording process that sees witches earn different "degrees" that are based on their own personal growth. Many of these groups have created their own cording systems but each one will have the white cord in common. The white cord is the very first cord you can earn and it initiates the "year and a day" studies for a witch. This is an intentional path of self discovery. Some witches feel completely content just doing the 1 white cord but others continue earning more cords. The second cord is typically the red cord. For example, I'm a black cord witch and High Priestess with the 13th House Mystery School Tradition in Victoria. It took me 8 years of self discovery to earn my black cord which was the last of 3 cords to earn in my House. It's a journey that you are in control of. However, a witch that has completed their cords must cord/initiate the cording witch. I'm planning on making a video about cording very soon so there will be lots more info in that video. I hope this helps!
In my country, PORTUGAL, we have a pull dance tradition very similar to Beltane ceremony, were people dance, cruising the colored ribbons, women and men🥰😇🙏💜
oooh that sounds amazing!
I cried. 🥹 I'm a Fellow Wiccan n Pagan, n diz would be a perfect celebration longside my fellow brotherz n sisterz. I feel at home Luvz 💛
Aw thank you so much, I'm so glad you found this video! ✨
Absolutely beautiful. This really tugged at my emotions. I set into motion I will be able to enjoy something like this one day!! Thank You for sharing xo
Thank you for watching! Sending you bright blessings for finding a community of your own! ✨
wow this seems so beutiful and magickal I wish I could go!
This looked like an amazing and beautiful experience! Something I'd love to participate in one day!! 💜🖤♐️
Thanks for watching! I hope your able to find something like this in your area! 🧙🏽♀️✨🧹
This opened my 3rd eye 😍thank you
✨🥰💕
My heart feels full just watching this, thank you so much for sharing this beautiful experience. BB
Thank you for watching I really appreciate it! ✨🧹
I saw another comment from you about ads that I can’t find anymore! I don’t get to choose ads and I also don’t see ads! So sorry to hear the ad in the video was a bummer! ❤️
I'm sorry, I took that comment down because I realized that no witch would choose that ad. It was for a game where a man oggles of big bouncy boobed woman walk by and then looks at his pregnant wife who looks tired and large and kicks her out in the cold!!! I don't get how they choose what videos to attach too cause I am betting not one of your followers would appreciate or purchase that mysoginist crap. @@BriannaShambrook
Thank you for sharing. What a wonderful weekend you had. I wish one day I get to experience something like this in the UK
Oh my gosh I would love to do that! I am amazed you are using a deck from Doreen Virtue. She was so wonderful and inspirational for so many years and then suddenly went to the dark side and renounced all of her works in the occult. She sold her rights to many of her products and so they still get produced and sold. So sad… she is like listening to a medieval priest at this point in time 😱
Merry meet, Thank you for sharing this amazing experience ❤️ blessed be ❤
Blessed be! ✨
Absolutely beautiful journey. Loved watching this awesome weekend at Witch Camp. Congrats to all who participated in this video. 🥰
Thank you for watching! I’ll be attending a Samhain witch camp as well stay tuned! ✨🧙🏽♀️🧹
Beautiful. I can't wait for the follow up video. 🙏 t
Thank you for taking us along and sharing such beautiful moments.
Can you tell me more about what the cord ceremonies/ colors mean. ❤
What a special time of bonding and empowerment. 🪄💫
Thank you for watching! I’m so happy you enjoyed this journey ✨🧹
Many witches, mystery schools and covens have a cording system which represent “levels” of self discovery. Each tradition will have their own system and number of cords that can be received. I’m in a tradition that has 3 cords (white, red and black). Even though every tradition has their ways, 3 cords are pretty common and I do believe every tradition has a white cord. You may have heard about a witches “year and a day studies”. The white cord often starts a year and a day and the red cord is the celebration of that!
I’ll actually be making a video about cording in November! ✨🌜
Lovely video. I wish we had camps like this. Looks like so much fun!!!! ❤ Not every tradition has cording. Is this a Wiccan hierarchical system? Genuine question from a solitary Hedge Witch.😊
@@melaniecastle5850exactly not every group has cording and not every witch will want to cord! I’m not Wiccan, cording is open to anyone 🥰 stay tuned for a video coming up answer all those type questions! ✨ thanks so much for being here!
I’m not anything but curious. I don’t play well with others but it doesn’t stop me from checking out what they got going on. I encourage observation of other people’s perspectives and lifestyles. I love the earth and I want to see as much of what’s happening on it as I can. I don’t care what you do as long as no person or animal is harmed.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment and for watching!
The Gathering for Life on Earth is a Lower Mainland Witch Camp that is into its 26th year. All are welcome. Dianics, Wiccans, Heathens, Ceremonial Magicians, Elysian Mystery, all sorts of Pagans and Witches come together for it.
Sounds amazing!! Thanks for that info! 🥰✨
Very uplifting. Thank you.
what a beautiful informative journey you shared with us. The need to connect and be part of something so lovely is truly fulfilling, It looked like a magickal experience to treasure forever. Thank you for sharing
Thank you so much for watching! I absolutely agree. The shifts that have taken place within me and in my life since I've connected with this community have been profound! I have been in a coven (which we actually call a Hive) for nearly a decade, but witch camp is an entirely different experience!
There’s such a lovely pagan community in the PNW, I miss being there. Thank you for sharing your experience.
I agree! Thank you for watching! ✨
Coooooooooooooool. Me jealous lol
Such a beautiful, peaceful video, thank you for sharing... I would give anything if I could find something like that in upstate New York..I have searched and searched but to no avail..
🥰 thank you for watching! I hope you find what you’re looking for! If you don’t, maybe you could create what you’re seeking 🔮✨
this was so wholesome Brianna! much love
Aw thanks so much Jessie! 🥰
Sounds fun
I would love to attend an event like this but would honestly feel more comfortable and able to feel spiritually joined with other attendees if it was only for women. Also not to into the idea of menstruating women being made to dtay outdide of the circle. This to me sounds like a rule men would have made
Thanks so much for your thoughtful comment! I am seeking women only circles as well. Healing with other women who have shared experiences is so so powerful and I've experienced this in the 'red tent' gatherings. I know it has such power and I'm really craving that in my life! If I were hosting a circle I would personally love for the menstruating women to be in the circle but I thought it was an interesting experience to be apart of a different perspective! 💕
Yes, only biological women circles would make me feel safer. Biological women need their own space separate from Transwomen who don’t experience womanhood and who often are judgmental of biological women.
@eg7847 It’s so important to be apart of sacred spaces where you feel safe to share your experiences with other women who can relate. A lot of growth and healing can happen in these containers!
This is a lovely idea masculine and feminine energies alike. After all that is nature and that is what we bless.
Blessed be to all
The ideal of feeling completely comfortable and at peace to want to or have asepteince for both male female witch's like minded and energy.
Thank you so much for filming and sharing this! I love that the event took place in the Pacific Northwest, and I aspire to attend something like this some day. At this particular retreat, I love that so many ages were represented!
Thank you! I had a similar thought when I was there regarding the mix of ages. Actually, during one of the events a witch said to all of us that one of the most transformative things you can do on your witchcraft journey is to learn to trust an older woman (someone in their crone phase). Little did I know at that moment that she would be next older woman I would learn to trust 🥰✨
Это так здорово, что не описать словами) Спасибо, что показали. Столько тепла, любви, доброты и вдохновения. Вы все большие молодцы)
Thank you so much! I’m so happy you loved this video! 🥰✨
Absolutely Love this! Thank you for sharing this segment of your journey with us. Blessed Be ❤
Thank you so much for watching! 💕 ✨
This is the first retreat that I think I would fully enjoy. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing
I'm so glad this resonated with you! 🧹✨
I enjoyed your video. Thank you for sharing it.
Thank you for watching! 🥰
beautiful ❤ thank you for sharing 🙏
Thank you for watching! 💕
How delightful! You are precious, this was lovely and well done!
I used to live on the island, but am further north in BC now. It's so nice to see another "local-ish" witch, as I know of no others, and just practice on my own (in a rather casual way tbh).
Well done TH-cam, you finally suggested a good video for me! LOL
Aw thank you so so much! I love your comment and so glad to have another islander here! BC has so many witches, its amazing. I lived in Nova Scotia for 5 years and It wasn't something I heard about over there. I think our nature here calls us!
This filled my heart with so much joy! Thank you for sharing your expirience ❤🧙🏼
Aw amazing! Thank you for watching and for your comment 🥰✨
Witch camp-what a lovely idea! ❤
Wow seems like fun and
You found interpeace and new friends thats always amazing in our community sharing together and not caring what or how each other practices our craft .
Absolutely! A part of my craft is story telling through videography and I was so amazed that this entire group felt comfortable to let me film this weekend and these raw moments. It felt amazing that they trusted me with this project; the power of community is incredible ✨
Thank you so much for sharing this 🥹🥰😊 I would love to camp with like-minded individuals like this, who also respect and support each other’s company. It’s so beautiful 🥰
Thank you for watching and joining the journey! I hope that you find something like it close by - or maybe one day create it! ✨
Thank you for sharing your witch weekend with us. I enjoyed it very much.❤
Thank you for watching! 🥰✨
This seems like an amazing experience Brianna; thank you for sharing it. There is nothing like being with like-minded people.
Thank you so much for watching Melanie! I completely agree, being with like-minded people creates the space for expansion and magic 🥰✨
So exciting! How wonderful. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🥰🥰🧡🤎🧡🤎🧡🌻🌻 thank you for sharing this. ❤️

Thank you so much Jasmin 🥰✨
You're most welcome! :)@@BriannaShambrook
What a wonderful event! Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you for watching!! The story of our Samhain witch camp is coming up! ✨🎃
This gives me great ideas for a camp. I live in the Coast Range in Oregon.
I do as well and was thinking of finding witch camps in my area. Kinda hard though
I'm going to talk to people in Eugene....Old Nick's for starters.@@peachbunni3
Amazing! That’s so wonderful to here! ✨🧹
Maybe you can create a group! ✨🧹
Thank you so much for sharing such a special weekend i feel blessed. Im in the uk and dont live near any witchyfriends. Thank you and blessed be❤
Thank you for watching! I hope you make some new connections! 🥰✨
Wow how beautiful. I’d like to attend!
So so interesting to watch..amazing set up..love the shop where ye can exchange things.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! The broomstick boutique was SO cute, I got that spirit doll as well as a few books! ✨🧙🏽♀️🧹
So friggin cool, love this! 🤩 🧙🏻 ❤
Thank you! 💕
So beautiful, thank you for sharing ❤ I want to go!!!
Thanks for watching! ✨
I just found your channel and subscribed!!!!! Absolutely love this! Thank you for posting.
Aw amazing! Thank you so much for subscribing and for watching. So much magic is coming your way! 🥰✨
Very nice everyone seemed to transmit good energies
As a green witch in training g, I would love to check out the camps. ❤
I have never pitched a tent and would prefer a cabin...for witches ❤
Tent camping in the rain and cold on the ocean while you have your period is definitely a challenge lol I wish there were cabins!
This video warmed my heart. In my country there are no open witches or such gatherings. We do, however, have pagan holidays and with enough searching, we could find celebrations among some more open communities.
Thank you for sharing! I hope that you can find safe celebrations to attend! ✨
The universe naturally fills each gap with beauty so let’s finish tuning that enchantment and further manifest with conjuring and enrich with those evocations, and be a great diviner organizer and necromancer fateness aligner.
I love Beltane and the maypole so much
This sounds so fun i whould like to see this.its a beautiful place.
I would love to attend an event like this but I still have alot to learn about witchcraft. But it was a lovely Video and it motivated me to learn more about witchcraft and its history
Wishing you many blessings on your learning journey! We are all learning all the time 🥰✨
You are all so beautiful and lovely.
Aw thank you 🥰✨ I hope you find something that feels good!
Adding this to my queue... This seems divine watching. ❤
Thank you ❤🇦🇺
Thank You for sharing🤍💐
we need this in laurel county ky!!!!!
Can you share more about the cording ritual? Never heard about it but looks interesting.
Thanks for asking! I’m planning a video about this topic coming ASAP! I chat briefly bout my cording in a couple of my recent videos as well but a complete detailed response is on its way!
U are all so beautiful thank you all for sharing this
Thank you for watching! 🥰✨
I will love to have the opportunity to be part of that campaign ❤
Sooo beautiful ❤️
Taking shrooms, Barefoot Walk in nature, get Sun baths and play some Drums. One of my favorite therapies.
The card that you pulled out had Goddess Saraswati on it & as somebody who has embraced Vedic tradition that made me smile. She is the Goddess of wisdom & arts. She also happens to the eternal consort of Lord Brahma , the creator deity. She is a primordial form of mother goddess , a manifestation of one of her many Swaroopas or cosmic forms. You have piqued my interest , would definitely like to have a discussion on this & hear your views & experiences. Bless you
Thank you so much for this info I didn’t know all that about Goddess Saraswati. When I pulled the card it felt like I was being reminded that I was in a place where I can embrace my art and my videography as my craft. I was surrounded by people who didn’t limit me and it was such a blessing to share that weekend through my craft which was something I had been working towards (sharing witchcraft experiences).
@BriannaShambrook in the yogic perspective of things, life is about the law of karma , so from that POV, everything is preordained. You pulling that card out may seem to be sheer coincidence, but in the divine scheme of things, i guess it was always meant to be that way. The card chose you as much as you chose it.
Looks amazing! Personally I love seeing that it was gender-inclusive.
This is beautiful 💜
Thank you! 🥰✨
So cool I love it!
Would love to find a witch camp
Looks fun 😃
New subcriber. I would love to participate in something similar. Thanks for making us a part of the experience.
Thank you so much for watching and joining my TH-cam journey!
I would love to do something somewhere near me like this x
I dont know what it was about Susan but I got the best vibes from her 😍thank you for sharing! I would love to do something like this. (for context Jess and I are in the same boat haha)
Aw I love that! She is fantastic and has great energy 💕 Thank you so much for watching, I'm so glad this reached you! ✨
This type of video doesn't normally appear in my timeline but i was curious and i didn't regret clicking it!😅
It's interesting to know another perspective of menstruating women bcs i grew up with a belief that menstruating women are "dirty". But in your community, it's considered as powerful aspect. Funny enough, it's my first day of period and i still do chores despite of pain all over my body! 😭 honestly i don't feel powerful rn 😭
ps: here we also believe that menstruating women are more vulnerable to "bad spirits".
Aw I love this! Thanks for clicking and for watching! ✨
