Oakwood Crescent
"Have you been looking for a Teacher, or Mentor, and found it to be a nearly impossible search? Are you an experienced Witch, looking for a group to work with? My name is Greyhart, and I teach Witchcraft. I call what I teach, a modified form of Gardnerian Wicca. What that means is that I use traditional methods for teaching, and very traditional forms for ritual. Any Gardnerian coming to my ritual would immediately recognize it. The difference is that I have modified some elements in ways that work better for me. This is the basis of Witchcraft. By teaching a traditional form, I give my students a foundation that they can then build on. Once they have completed the course, they have a baseline by which to compare new ideas and techniques, to determine what works best for them. This is not for the curious. Students make a weekly commitment for at least a year and a day. They become provisional members of Oakwood Crescent, and work along side the other members. If they complete the course, students are given the opportunity to Initiate, and become full members, if they choose to. Not all who apply, will be accepted. Experienced Witches are also welcome. We hold Open Sabbats, where we encourage anyone to join us for ritual. This gives you a chance to see what we do, and gives us a chance to get to know you. We are not looking to become some Mega Coven. We emphasize quality over quantity. We only accept Witches of the highest standards into our group. Some people think being exclusive is a bad thing. We don't. We want to do incredible things, spiritually, and magickally. That requires people who are serious about their spiritual growth, and take responsibility for their own actions and deeds. If this sounds intreguing, come find us."

Shamanism
Shamanic practices trace back to all continents, cultures and times - current estimates of shamanism as humankind’s earliest spiritual practice range as far back as 100,000 years. Small wonder that so many of us feel called to explore this path! My name is Renna Shesso, and my own practice and training is centered in “core shamanism” (the key shamanic practices found in common throughout the world, rather than drawn from any specific culture), with overlaps into my long-time work in the Craft. This is the perspective from which I work and teach. I offer workshops ranging from beginning through advanced, and I also work in the shamanic modes of healing, such as soul retrieval and the removal of misplaced energies Stop by or contact me: I’m happy to share more about this amazing path.

Per Akhet Kemetic Temple
We are a small Egyptian reconstructionist temple dedicated to honoring the Netjeru (Egyptian Gods) . We do monthly rituals to celebrate traditional festivals, based on the cycles of the sun, moon and stars. Both dark and light, life and death, order and chaos are embraced in our rites. Our magic is deeply rooted in the power of speech and symbol. We believe that words and symbols which were powerful to the ancients are still powerful today. This means we alter the old rites as little as possible. In our experience, there is nothing more powerful than worshiping in the same manner as the ancient priests and priestesses. We are committed to upholding the principles of Ma'at, in our magic and in our world. We believe in Justice, Harmony, Truth and Kindness. We welcome all who adhere to the same principles, and have a sincere devotion to the ancient Gods of Egypt.

Denver Celtic Women’s Circle
The Denver Celtic Women’s Circle is a private circle that offers a public Celtic Druid Full Moon Ceremony monthly, along with workshops, community ritual, and charity events. The practice has its emphasis on Irish Lore and the female Divine as that is expressed through the Goddesses, Druids, heroes and queens of history and Celtic mythology. Using the Tree Ogham as a framework for connecting with the Celtic Path and the local Colorado regional landscape to connect with the spirits of the natural world we follow a five year cycle of spiritual practice and growth. The first three years build from sisterhood and camaraderie to competence and leadership. The final two years of the cycle root deeper into the magic and mysteries of the path, and branch outward into sharing with and serving the larger community.

Coven of the Golden Condors, Sacred Order of Black Forest
The Black Forest Family offers one of the most comprehensive clergy training programs within the Pagan community. Ours is a teaching tradition. In the Craft, all groups have rules whether they are assumed or set forth in printed format. The Black Forest Family is not eclectic Wicca, it is a specific study of one form of Euro-Wiccan ritual, religious, and magickal practice. As a dedicant in the Black Forest Family, you must follow the prepared Black Forest lessons, as others have before you. You may certainly study other topics on your own, including attending classes at bookstores or seminars. There are 13 lessons which will prepare you as a person to become ordained Wiccan clergy. Each person is different; however, 3-5 years is the norm for completing the course of study earning Three Degrees. In order to assess whether Black Forest is a good fit for you and for us, we require an Application with a fee, at least one interview, attendance at open events and a discussion of your goals prior to dedication.

Dóiteán agus Uisce (Flame and Well Druidic Circle)
We are a seed group of the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids (OBOD), based in the Denver area. We strive to deepen the members’ experience of Druidry through eight ritual ceremonies around the year, and contemplative practices of chanting and meditation. We chose the name Dóiteán agus Uisce to honor Brighid, goddess of the forge and hearth, poetry and healing. Our preferred translation of this name is Flame and Well, symbolizing inspiration, deep wisdom, and the mystery arising from their meeting.

Heart Vision Shamanic Journeys
Shamans were the world's first healers, priests, and therapists. Recent research and practical experience show that some aspects of shamanic healing and awareness are accessible to all of us, even though we live in the modern world. Almost everyone can learn to journey. It is a natural state of consciousness that I believe is part of our spiritual birthright as human beings. I teach and lead individual and group shamanic journeys and Earth-honoring ceremonies. I especially love shamanic dreamwork. I teach about the integration of Soul Retrieval and trauma therapies such as EMDR. I am also a teacher in the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition of Peruvian Shamanism. I will have a Peruvian mesa (altar) at the Fair.
