A dark cauldron filled with swirling green-toned liquid holds a large stone. Steam rises from the cauldron. Text in golden font: Worldwide Witchcamp online 13 - 16 November. Stone Soup. In dark and in forests we dream, the ancient ones teach us always, each only a drop in the cauldron but together we're brewing new ways!

Black text on light blue background: Harvesting Our Screams to Energize Our Workings with BrightFlame and Sam Wise How can we harvest our built-up rage, grief, and other emotions to power our spells, our workings, our projects? To make our work vibrate with urgency? In this path, we will explore the screams that shake all the worlds. What is raging in the deep places inside of us, fighting to be expressed? How can we join our scream with the screams of others in a cry of power? This is a path about transforming separate emotions into shared nourishment, solidarity, and purposeful action.

Black text on light blue background: (continued...) Through a combination of trance, ritual, and off-camera creative work, we will each give voice to our own "scream" through the method and medium that best expresses what we need to express. We will feel into these screams—that may express as art, movement, or other forms rather than as vocal screams—and experience the energy carried within. Together we will explore ways of connecting to the screams of our communities, our nonhuman neighbors, and our planet as we raise and shape collective energy. We will explore means of refilling our own energy reserves for this critical work, knowing community will hold the work when we step back.

black text on light blue background: We will join our voices together as a force for change across all the worlds! Online 13-16 November in Scarlet Path Slot Register soon to save your space: WorldWideWitchcamp.com BrightFlame and Sam Wise look forward to being with you!

Ha! Thanks for pointing out the seasonal connection that this Witch hadn't thought of! Duh!

@brightflame.bsky.social Oct 11, 2026, 4:45 PM

Of course, it's too sweet, just as I remember! 😂😜

Antidote to a dreary rainy day: a black & white* and coffee! Will help me finish a story draft by tomorrow. *About a month ago, a writer posted about these cookies for their birthday (I forget who). Craving ever since and just found this gluten-free one. Haven't had since NYC childhood!

Round large cookie half iced in chocolate and half in vanilla. Green table is background.

Still trying to figure out a better newsletter platform. My writer friend @ajsuper.com gave me the idea to merge my blog & newsletter and just use WordPress to send from my site like I do when a blog posts.

That would sure be easier!

@brightflame.bsky.social Oct 9, 2026, 6:04 PM

Wow!

@brightflame.bsky.social Oct 8, 2026, 8:10 PM

That's the kind of horror stories we need. Ones that illuminate real situations that harm. Like the stories in Never Whistle at Night and in A People's Future of the US.

@brightflame.bsky.social Oct 7, 2026, 2:45 AM

I didn't know that. Strange. And I don't know the answer, sorry. Can you get the ebook from my publisher directly? Hope so! www.android-press.com/product-page...
