Lepus Lumen Brisbane — Expressions of Interest Now Open

Lepus Lumen is now taking expressions of interest for an upcoming free, in-person witchcraft course. This is a seven-month programme, meeting fortnightly, with a strong emphasis on practical, experiential work.

Due to the hands-on nature of the course, places are limited and the intake will be a small, focused group. Initial sessions will be held in and around Dutton Park.

Expressions of interest are open until 6 February. Applicants will then be invited to an interview round, with sessions scheduled to commence in late March.

To register your interest, please contact us at
[email protected]

and we will send you a short questionnaire along with further information.

Lepus Lumen is expanding in WA!
It's with great excitement I can report I have joined the wonderful community of Lepus Lumen teachers to offer the Witchcraft Study Course North of the River, Boorloo (Perth).

This intake will begin in early 2025 and will include the 14 lesson program on the fundamentals of witchcraft, including practical exercises, discussions and supplementary materials. Delivery will be in person, supported by an online community.

Lepus Lumen is an inclusive, eclectic group of witches, pagans and polytheists with a focus on providing our students with a workable framework of understanding that can be applied in many different contexts and traditions.

Adults (18+) of all genders welcome. Study sessions will be fortnightly on weekends, and rituals/gatherings expected throughout the course. If you are interested in committing to this magical opportunity, send a letter of introduction to [email protected]

🧹 Just 100 days left until the witchy event of the year: the Australian Wiccan Conference 2024! One of the country's oldest pagan gatherings celebrating 40 years, we can't wait to share a weekend with you of ritual, live pagan folk music performances, lectures, panels and magickal merriment over 3 days.

🐦 Fully run by volunteers, this event is not-for-profit and hosted by a different group from each state each year. This year's event is run by Lepus Lumen and we are so excited to see you there.

🎉 This year's event will be in-person, from the 20th-22nd September 2024 with the theme of ‘Then, Now, Next: Celebrating 40 Years’.

🌳 The conference will be held in a picturesque location in regional Victoria approximately 1 hour’s drive northwest of Melbourne, near the border of the Woiwurrung and Wathaurong territories of the Kulin Nation.

🔗Check out our page for more information & event details!

About Your 2024 Hosts

Each year, the Australian Wiccan Conference is hosted by a different group around Australia. In 2024 your AWC is presented by Lepus Lumen.

Lepus Lumen (Latin: “light rabbit”/”light hare”) is an affiliation of covens, outercourts and study groups committed to providing quality education and resources to seekers of witchcraft and Paganism.

We are an inclusive, eclectic group of witches, pagans and polytheists with a focus on providing our students with a framework that can be applied in many different contexts and traditions.

Currently, Lepus Lumen classes are held in Dja Dja Wurrung Country, Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Country, Yagarubul Country, and Bindjareb and Whadjuk Boodja (so-called Victoria, Queensland and Western Australia).

12 study group intakes for our Introduction to Witchcraft course have been held since our establishment in 2019. We are committed to providing free teaching and resources to our community, prioritising individual student needs, different teacher’s strengths and accessibility.

Our volunteers involved in bringing you this year’s conference have many years of experience attending, and organising pagan community events (including past AWCs). As a delightful bonus, for the AWC’s 40th anniversary, several of our teachers are also celebrating our 40th Solar Return this year – 1984 was a fantastic year!
