What we’re about
We are a tradition of Witchcraft based in the DC/NOVA/MD area. We put on public rituals for many of the sabbats as well as a number of classes on various Wiccan and Witchcraft-related topics. We are also a Wiccan tradition that people can participate in casually, or through the deeper path of initiation. All respectful individuals are welcome!

See all- Firefly Foundation Class #6: MagicMartin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library, Washington, DC
It's almost May, and we're starting the third and final "unit" of our Foundations series on Magic. As always, our Foundations classes are meant to provide students the opportunity to learn about the House and about our way of being Pagan.
For the sixth class of our eight-class series, we'll be discussing magic, what it is and isn't, how it relates to prayer in other spiritual and religious traditions, and how one might go about crafting and casting a spell. Then, we discuss the Hermetic Principles found within the Kyballion, a so-called ancient grimoire of magic, but it was actually published in the early 1900s. That doesn't make them any less interesting, in our opinion, and it's a good example of how topics within Paganism sometimes get embellished by their authors.
When you RSVP for this class, you'll be asked to provide an email address. We'll send you a link to the class video at that address as soon as possible after we receive it. Watch the video before the class date and time, and come to class with any questions you might have. We will also send out a series of jump-start questions as we have in the past.
The class will be back at the MLK library in Washington DC. But, this time, we're in 401-G, not the same exact room that we've been in before but right next door to it. Also, Dash is out of town at the moment, so definitely RSVP, but we might be a little slower in getting you the video and jumpstarts. In fact, it's possible that we'll get those to you on Monday, April 21, or Tuesday, April 22, depending on how Dash's travels go. That should still give you a week to watch the video before class, though!
This class is a required part of our foundations classes if you wish to join the Firefly House as an initiate. If that does not interest you, for example if you're joining us just to learn more for your own edification (which is wonderful), then feel free to skip classes that you find less important for your journey. If you want to keep your options open with respect to initiation but cannot attend this session at the listed date and time, please contact the event host prior to the session. They will, in turn, provide you with the jump-start questions. Answer these questions in writing, and we'll give you credit for the class. Keep in mind, you can only miss three of eight sessions in this way. Time spent with initiates of the House and your fellow classmates is an important part of knowing if you want to initiate. If you don't initiate, regardless of the reason, you're still welcome to all of the public events we organize.
If you would like to, feel free to join our Discord to chat with others in the Firefly House between sessions. This is also a great place to ask for help if you've lost a link to a video, for example.
