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 #7: the ElementsMartin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library, Washington, DC
It's May, and we're almost done with the 2025 Foundations series! 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 seventh class of our eight-class series, we'll be discussing the elements, why they became such a feature in modern Pagan and magical practice, how they relate to the cardinal directions, and going over quarter calls.
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 back in 401-G, the same room we used last time for the class on magic.
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.

- May 2025 Rite of Her Sacred FiresLink visible for attendees
Since 2010, during the full moon in May, the Covenant of Hekate — "an international community of devotees who honor the Goddess Hekate, in all her many forms, by all her many faces and guises" — performs the Rite of Her Sacred Fires. All over the world, in around 30 languages, the Rite will be performed, and we'll be joining them.
The English language version is the one that we'll use, and you can familiarize yourself with it here.
It's short, taking only a few minutes. We'll gather at 8pm and get started around 8:10 as the sun sets.
This rite is designed to be performed solo, but Dash will explain prior to getting started how you can contribute, too, in your space and place as we share this time together.
No experience with Hekate is necessary, simply a reverence for her history and her meaningful impact on the world of modern witchcraft and witchcraft-inflected Pagan traditions.
