FREE 4 Day Magickal Experience
Lifting The
Veil
Online Ritual of Grief and Reconnection
for Samhain (Halloween)
October 25 - 28, 2024
You’re invited to the circle
Many people think of Halloween as a parade of pointy hats and monster masks, but it has its roots in an ancient Celtic/pagan traditional celebration known as Samhain.
This is traditionally the time of year when the veil between the worlds of the living and the dead becomes thin, and it is therefore a perfect moment to remember and reconnect with our ancestors.
The FREE 4 Day Magickal Experience
Begins October 25th
Calling all witches, pagans, and mystics, including beginners, the experienced crones, and the curious!
This time of year, you might be feeling the end of summer, the shorter and colder days, the longer nights, and the move into winter. This is Samhain, the pagan end of the year. It’s time to put your summer things away, and start winding down projects. In these darker days, you might find yourself thinking about your ancestors or lost loved ones.
This is Samhain.
Rituals like this consolidate what’s already happening in our bodies and minds, due to the changing seasons.
It is also the time when the veil between the worlds of the living and the dead becomes thin, giving us the opportunity to reflect on death and loss, and to remember and honour our ancestors.
Darkness and death are not to be feared but can be revered as an important part of the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. Without the death of the old there is no space for new growth and regeneration.
The falling leaves of the early winter remind us to release the old and unnecessary growth in order to make way for the new. It is a time to clear the cobwebs of the past and let go of unhelpful or destructive elements in our lives.
It’s time to prepare for the colder times ahead.

Full ritual of grief and reconnection
Grief is an expression of love for those we've lost.
“There is an intimate bond between grief and gratitude, sorrow and intimacy, and the greatest gifts are often hidden in the things we avoid”
This ritual is a holding space for us to find these gifts. It offers the opportunity for communion with lost loved ones and to celebrate the cycle of life, death, and rebirth.

Welcome. I’m Lilith Wildwood, Heretic Witch and Magical Mentor.
A spell-casting, wand-wielding, cloak-wearing, witch, healer, priestess and eternal optimist, dedicated to helping you rediscover your magick.
My work is devoted to radical feminist witches who have felt alienated by spiritual communities. I’m a guide to the potent, and bullshit free, Forbidden Path to magick.
I’ve always been interested in the so-called ‘demon goddesses’; I relate to their rage, you see. My first love was Babalon, then Isis…
… then Lilith entered my life. And about ten years ago, she started to get really loud. She had always been present, but as time went on it became clear she was calling me to take her name and embody her energy.
Of course I resisted… the commitment felt too big, the energy too powerful. But eventually I couldn’t ignore her. I planned and performed a ritual, and called Lilith in. As she joined me inside this body, I fell to my knees wracked with deep ancestral grief and, yes, rage.
At that moment, I felt the pain of every being who has ever been hurt by patriarchal religion and culture. Lilith carries it, always, in acknowledgement of the harm that has been and is still caused by these structures. And now I had volunteered to carry it too.
I instantly knew that there is no wickedness in Lilith. Yes she is angry, but it is the rage of the protective mother.
Aged 8, I went into our front room, sat on the sofa, and said aloud into the empty room: “I don’t believe in God.” There was no bolt of lighting. Nobody heard, or cared. And what had been a suspicion inside me turned into the boiling rage of a child who discovers she’s being lied to, by everyone in power.
30-odd years later I took on Lilith’s name and mission. My mission is to reveal the methods – both blatant and insidious – of physical, psychological and spiritual violence that are created by the patriarchy and its associated religions.
Lilith’s Forbidden Path is the path I have trodden every day for decades. And now it has become the name of the method I use to help women heal themselves from the trauma they have endured.
I share the ancient mysticism that Lilith has led me to reclaim, from secret, hidden corners of those harmful religions, without the dogma and lies that prevent women from experiencing their true power.
Thirty years ago I formed my first coven. Over the years it has evolved and changed, and at the start of 2020 we took our magick online. This intrepid band of feminist wytches has been pursuing magical adventures, walking the path of Lilith’s power, ever since.
I have personally witnessed this path change so many lives, in ways that are not rationally plausible.
I hope to have the opportunity to walk it with you, too.
With love and apples,
Lilith
