About us
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!

September 2026 New Moon Esbat
·OnlineOnlineThe Firefly House invites you to join us for a (roughly) one hour New Moon esbat on Friday, September 11, at 8:00pm.
Our esbats move in patterns of three: two that focus on journey work, a form of guided meditation that includes open-ended questions so that each of us experiences something a little different and uniquely special. The third esbat in the pattern will be more experimental where we come up with something else to do that evening. It could be a bit of magic, maybe a prayer workshop, or even an open mic poetry reading! You never know what it could be! (Until we tell you.)
Because September contains the Fall Equinox, this will be one of our more experimental events. This time, it's a Choose Your Own Adventure! Maybe it'll be epic. Maybe it'll be silly. Maybe it'll be dumb. Who knows! Either way, we'll join together, sacralize the occasion, and then create a story together, and see what comes of it.
Regardless, whether you're in the Washington DC area or you'll be joining us from far, far away, we hope to see you online!

Firefly Mabon Retreat 2026
Caroline Furnace Sukkah Village, 8481 Moreland Gap Road, Fort Valley, VA, USWith the approach of Autumn comes the Firefly House's annual Mabon retreat. This year, it will take place from Thursday, September 17, through Sunday, September 20. As we have done for the prior few years, we'll be returning to Sukkah Village at the Caroline Furnace Camp and Retreat in Fort Valley, VA (about 90 minutes to 2 hours away from DC — rides will be available). And, as is also our tradition, we'll be sharing the space with our friends from the Wilderness Between!
Reserving this space is expensive, so we will be asking that attendees pay between $50 and $75 for the full weekend. See the document linked below for information about how to pay.
For those that have not attended before, cabins are available that sleep up to eight people on bunk beds. You can also bring a tent if you prefer. There is also a bath house with flush toilets and showers, so while we may not have all the comforts of home, we aren't entirely roughing it either.
You're expected to provide your own food, and we will have a shared feast on Saturday night. Bringing a food offering for the feast is encouraged. There is a refrigerator available, but space is limited. We'll also have a number of ice chests.
For complete details about the event, see this document. Otherwise, if you have any questions, post below or, even better, join our Discord where the majority of our event planning takes place.
