CauldronFire Witchcraft

Fall & Early Winter 2025

All CauldronFire events welcome witches of all genders, races, sexual orientations and ethnicities.

Coffee with Witches: Sunday, December 28th, 2025 @ 11am in SE Portland
Topic: Deities & Polytheism
12/21/25 UPDATE: We are at capacity for this event. Please check back and consider attending the January 2026 Coffee with Witches. Thank you.


There are so many ways to practice witchcraft, and some of them include working with one or several deities.  For some polytheist witches, this might involve a deep devotional practice built over time. While some witches feel called to service, others wonder how to determine whether and how they should work with deities at all.  We’ll be gathering the weekend after Winter Solstice for a lively conversation about the many permutations of polytheist practice.  If you work with deities, or are curious about how to do so, you may find this discussion fascinating. There is respect and space at the table for all levels of experience.

Coffee with Witches is a monthly meeting with a theme, and is intended to build community, and be a space where witches can engage in deeper level conversations with others about a focused topic. Everyone who attends will be warmly welcomed and included in the conversation. This event is free (but we hope you’ll buy a coffee or some food to support the café that hosts us), and is open to witches or witch-adjacent people 21+ who are in alignment with CauldronFire’s values: All CauldronFire events welcome witches of all genders, races, sexual orientations and ethnicities. Gatherings are politically pro-democracy.

Join us: Please email Talasyn (cauldronfirepdx@gmail.com) for full details.  Space is limited, so please reply early if you’d like to participate. 

With Solstice season blessings,

-Talasyn

SORRY–we are at capacity. Please check back next month. Thanks.
Coffee with Witches: Sunday, November 16th @ 11am in SE Portland
Topic: Share your Divination Practice

Many witches highly value having an established divination practice to help with ritual discernment when making decisions, or gathering information. This month’s Coffee with Witches will focus on divination in all of its glorious forms: tarot, runes, dowsing, casting the bones. It’s up to you, and what you bring to the group. We’ll gather with coffee and conversation, and everyone will have the opportunity to show and share their favorite divination tools, ask questions, demonstrate, and learn from one another. At the end, we’ll circle up and share the highlights together. Please join us, and bring your questions, your favorite deck or tool, and your skills to share!

Coffee with Witches: October 19th @ 11am in SE Portland
Topic: Calling Upon the Ancestors
SORRY-we are at capacity this month. Please check back for next month’s gathering.

As Samhain approaches, many witches build an Ancestor altar and welcome closer communication with their Beloved Dead. But what if you are estranged from blood relatives, or don’t know who they are? Perhaps you feel more firmly connected to Ancestors not of your lineage, but instead of spirit or affinity. Maybe you don’t know where to begin, and would like to build a connection for the very first time. This gathering is for all of you.

There’s a lot on offer in August and September. Here are the latest additions to summer offerings:

Calling the Brigidines: A Gathering for Witches who honor Brigid
Saturday, Sept. 20th @ 3pm in SE Portland

This is a call to all Portland/Vancouver area witches who work with the goddess known as Brighid, Brigid, Bride, Brigit, Bríd, or Brighde. She is known as a goddess of smithcraft, poetry and healing, and is beloved by many types of creative witches who know that she is a deep well of inspiration and sustenance in their lives and work.
Let’s gather to meet each other, make devotional offerings, sing and chant in praise of Brigid, and talk together about our various practices and interests. Whether you’ve recently discovered a connection to Brigid, or have served her all your life, you are most welcome to join us. If you’d like to know whom else is in the local Brigidine community, now is the time to find out. We invite you to make new friends, and share your hopes and dreams. Hosted by Talasyn and T, two local Portland witches and priestesses in service to Brigid, who are also in circle together.
Location and details will be shared with registered participants. We’ll meet at an outdoor park. Participants must be at least 21 years of age to attend. Open to witches of all genders.
Cost: Free

Coffee with Witches: Sunday, Aug. 24th @ 11am in SE Portland
Topic: Finding Gratitude in Precarious Times

Our August Coffee with Witches will be a conversation about the things we’re grateful for, even in the midst of injustice, cruelty, and political and social upheaval in the country. It can be a great solace to be among other witches, and to notice the tiny and not so tiny ways that our lives are enriched by gratitude. For me, it’s the fuel that keeps me from giving up, and motivates me to push back against injustice. What does gratitude do for you?

Talasyn will host the discussion at a local cafe in SE Portland. It’s a fine opportunity to meet others and be part of the conversation. 21+ please. Dress for the weather, as we’ll grab coffee and sit outdoors in a covered area of the café. Everyone who attends will be warmly greeted and included in the conversation. Seating space at this gathering is limited. We’re looking forward to meeting you, and if you’ve attended before, welcome back!
Register: Please email cauldronfirepdx@gmail.com Space is limited.
Cost: FREE, but we hope you’ll buy a coffee/drink from the coffee vendor whose space we’re using.

PAST EVENTS
Witches’ Death Cafe: Thursday, August 14th @ 7pm in SE Portland

We live in a death denying culture, and struggle to find safe spaces to talk with others about what we think, imagine, or wonder about on this fairly taboo topic. Fortunately, things are changing. There is an international movement of death-positive people coming together to explore their feelings and ideas about what constitutes a “good death.” It’s important for witches and witch-adjacent people to have our own space to discuss these topics together. This will be a free, outdoor, non-judgmental evening gathering in a local park in SE Portland.

Location and details will be shared with registered participants. We’ll meet at an outdoor park (not an actual cafe). Participants must be at least 21 years of age to attend.
Cost: Free
Register: contact Talasyn by clicking here. Be sure to designate which event you’re interested in attending. Space is limited.

Coffee with Witches: Sunday, July 20th @ 11am

This July, we’ll gather for a lively conversation about Boundaries and Protection in witchcraft. These are essential skills for witches–especially in these times. For some, this might entail setting limits on the emotional energy of others that intrudes on our well-being. For others, protection magic may involve fortifying your home against intrusions of all kinds.
This month’s gathering will be co-hosted by Kristofer and Talasyn at a local cafe in SE Portland. It’s a fine opportunity to meet others and be part of the conversation. 21+ please. Dress for the weather, as we’ll grab coffee and sit outdoors in a covered area of the café. Everyone who attends will be warmly greeted and included in the conversation.

Forming a Witchcraft Group: Saturday, July 26th @3pm
Have you hungered to work with a group, but don’t know how to begin?  So many witches are group-curious, and either throw themselves into the first available group, or hang back, uncertain of what to expect. This workshop is for all of you. Don’t wait until Samhain, and then wish you had gotten started earlier. I’ll share my experience on how to find or form a group that is likely to be a good fit, and how to approach a group you might want to join. We’ll talk about different kinds of groups, and how they function.  
I’m Talasyn, a Celtic polytheist witch with lots of experience working with circles, covens, and collectives. There will be opportunities to share information and ask questions.  Bring your witchy hopes and aspirations!  

Location and details will be shared with registered participants. We’ll meet at an outdoor location in the shade. Participants must be at least 21 years of age to attend.
Cost: Free
Register: contact Talasyn by clicking here. Be sure to designate which event you’re interested in attending. Space is limited.

Coffee with Witches: Sunday, June 1st, 2025 @ 11am

The Divinatory Art of Dowsing: Saturday, April 26th, from 3pm-5pm

This is an introductory workshop on the mysterious and subtle art of working with dowsing rods to gather information to enhance your witchy practice. We’ll work hands-on, establishing a rapport with the tools to build a foundation for more advanced work. Dowsing is a layered practice that can be used effectively for spirit communication, deity practice, and working with the land, whether in your garden, or visiting a sacred site. Come learn the essential skills, and see what’s possible.
Space is very limited, as this will be a small workshop with significant hands-on instruction and support. Please be 21+, with an open mind, deep curiosity, and a willingness to be outdoors in the weather. I will provide dowsing rods for your use during the workshop, and can recommend places to acquire your own. To register, contact Talasyn by clicking here. No charge, but please register only if you are committed to attending.

EVENTS: Winter 2025

Coffee with Witches: Sunday, March 2nd, 2025 @ 11am
SORRY-we are at capacity this month. Please check back for next month’s gathering.

This month we are exploring the potent influence of the Ancestors on our lives. Some of us avoid or deny these interactions based on old hurts or painful histories. Others don’t know their Ancestors, or don’t know how to begin. We’ll talk about ways to make peace with the Ancestors, invite connections, and set boundaries. Wise witches know that this critical work goes on all through the year, and not just around Samhain. Join experienced witch Talasyn at a local cafe in SE Portland to meet others and be part of the conversation. 21+ please.

Coffee with Witches: Sunday, January 26, 2025 @ 11am

Join experienced witch Talasyn at a local cafe to learn more about the Irish goddess Brighid, also known as Brigid, Brigit, Bride, and by other names. She is the strong arm at the forge who shapes and transforms, the healer who sets things right, and the creator who weaves magic with the power of language–especially poetry. Coffee with Witches is a great way to meet others, learn, and share connections. 21+ please. Dress for the weather, as we’ll grab coffee and sit outdoors in a covered area of the café. Click here to email me for the location. Everyone who attends will be warmly greeted and included in the conversation.

Coffee with Witches: Sunday, January 5, 2025 @ 11am

Join experienced local witch Talasyn at a cafe in inner SE Portland for coffee and conversation. Lots of witches are curious about how to build a devotional practice with one or more deities, but many aren’t sure what’s involved.

It’s a great way to meet other witches, learn, and share connections. 21+ please. Dress for the weather, as we’ll grab coffee and sit outdoors in a covered area of the café.

EVENTS: LATE FALL 2024

UPDATED: Coffee with Witches: Sunday, December 1, 2024 @ 10am AND 11am!
Due to a very strong response to this event, I’m now offering two different sessions. The first coffee starts at 10am, and the second at 11am.

Join experienced local witch Talasyn at a cafe in inner SE Portland for coffee and conversation. Witchcraft friendships are essential at the best of times. They help provide us with a sounding board for ideas, provide outlets for laughter and sorrow, and when those witches are skilled, can offer us important support and encouragement when we encounter the stranger elements of our craft.
Friendships are an important antidote to isolation during this ugly political time. Let’s build our friendship circles together. Dress for the weather, as we’ll grab coffee and sit outdoors in a covered area of the café. Click here to email me for the location. Everyone who attends will be warmly greeted and included in the conversation.
PLEASE NOTE: This gathering is specifically for witches who are horrified by the outcome of the recent Presidential election. If that doesn’t fit your situation, this event is not for you.
This event welcomes witches of all genders, races, sexual orientations and ethnicities.

How to Join a Witchcraft Group
Thursday, Nov. 7th, 2024 @ 8pm (online workshop) Postponed. We’ll reschedule at a later date.
The most common question I receive is how to go about joining a witchcraft group. There are far more seekers than places available in established groups, and there are a number of mistakes that inexperienced witches tend to make when seeking to join a group. Circles, covens and collectives: what are the differences? Learn about different types of groups, and how they work. You can radically improve your chances of success by preparing yourself in advance to be a selective, wise seeker. Click here to email me to register for this free workshop. Space is limited, and attendees must be 21+. Be prepared to interact with some other seekers at this interactive workshop.

Sewallcrest Park/Edwards School, SE 32nd Ave. and SE Market St., Portland

j

The Witches’ March for Body Sovereignty is open to all witches and their close allies who are concerned about the recent overturning of Roe v. Wade. As witches, let’s gather for a powerful, peaceful march on Hawthorne Blvd., followed by a short ritual to gather our strength and focus our intent moving forward. We have community in one another, and it’s time to identify our allies, and summon our strength as witches. We’ll finish up by 8:30pm.

WHERE: Meet in the paved driveway adjacent to the Edwards School at the intersection of SE 32nd Ave. and SE Market St. in Portland. There’s parking throughout the neighborhoods, and TriMet bus #14 stops a few blocks away. Here’s a map:

DETAILS: Please bring your witchy allies and friends, musical instruments, signs and banners. Dress comfortably for walking about 30-40 minutes on fairly flat, paved sidewalks. Parents are welcome to bring children if they are closely supervised throughout the event.
IMPORTANT: This is a wholly peaceful and nonviolent protest. Absolutely no drugs or alcohol. Everyone who attends is responsible for maintaining the safety and integrity of the group. We can vent our anger but still be a safe and unified group.

Holiday Caroling in December, 2021

I have long been fascinated by bonfire season in England, and all of those quirky, arcane celebrations of the winter season from the Celtic regions of England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland.  This year, a few of us are seeking other Celtic polytheists with similar interests to establish some local traditions, including caroling, wassailing, and even a visit from the Mari Lwyd.  If you are interested in bringing your zeal and magical eye to such events, please get in touch.  You might be just whom we’re looking for.  This is also, of course, an opportunity to make new Celtic polytheist friends in the local Portland metro area.  Email Talasyn @ cauldronfirepdx@gmail.com to express interest.

Witching Up the Power:  Raising Energy to Fuel Your Magic
Friday, June 14, 2019, from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM
@ The Raven’s Wing Magical Co., 7927 SE 13th Ave in Portland

Beltane Witchery on Mt. Tabor
Saturday, May 4, 2019 @ 8pm

Witches!  You are invited to come together on the dark moon at Mt. Tabor Park, an extinct volcano in southeast Portland.  We will sing, chant, and hold a twilight ritual procession through the park. At nightfall, we’ll circle under the trees, and make offerings to the land and its spirits.   Please share this information with your witch networks.

Who should come: Witches of all genders, ages and backgrounds, and those who love and support us are welcome.
What to bring: Please bring a safe source of soft illumination, whether a lantern, a solar light, or other enclosed and gentle light source.   Bring small, organic, biodegradable offerings for the land spirits.  This might be a tiny bottle of cream, spirits, or simple things that the birds and animals may consume, or can compost safely in the ground.
What to wear: Dress comfortably for the weather, including good shoes for walking outdoors on earth pathways.  Wear your witchy finery, and feel free to wear a veil or a mysterious mask.
Physical logistics:  The procession will involve about 30-40 minutes of slow but hilly walking on trails and paths.
RSVP:  Please contact me to let me know you are coming.  It will help to know how large the group will be.

Getting to the site: Meet at the bend in the road near the reservoir indicated by the red dot on the map shown below. It’s about 8-10 minutes on foot from the #15 Belmont St. bus stop at SE Belmont and SE 60th. Enter through the Salmon St. park entrance. We’ll gather at the hairpin turn in the road next to the oval reservoir. Look for a group of witches!

How do you find Mt. Tabor Park? Here’s a link to the Google Map.
Bus # 15, the Belmont St. bus, stops at SE Belmont and SE 60th.  There is also parking in the park, along the sides of the road, and near the top of the park in a lot.

If you have questions, please contact Talasyn.
I look forward to meeting more of the witches of Portland.

Full Moon on the Labyrinth
Saturday, April 20, 2019:  7-8:30pm

Come walk an 11 circuit labyrinth under the gaze of the full moon. We’ll visit a local labyrinth off Stark Street, and will be outdoors for the whole time. Please dress for the weather, and come prepared to take a problem or question into the labyrinth in search of answers or insights. You are especially welcome if you’ve never walked a labyrinth before.

We’ll be walking as the sun sets, and will finish up in the liminal time of twilight. This can be a contemplative, mystical experience.

When we finish walking, we may step across the street for a glass of beer or cider afterwards at Belmont Station, 4500 SE Stark St. (21+ required).

Please RSVP if you plan to attend.  I’m particularly interested in meeting you if you are a woman interested in the CauldronFire Witchcraft group that is forming.
