I write, teach and make magic for all forms of justice. From re-storying the future to shaping energy (a.k.a. magic), my offerings help answer this question:
How will we bring forward a just, regenerating world?
My contributions:
I write a hopeful, solarpunk future
My debut lunarpunk-solarpunk novel The Working is available now! Consider ordering it through your local bookshop or library.
A modern coven must thwart a looming eco-cataclysm and find the key to the bright future we need.
Fans of The Once and Future Witches and The City We Became will love The Working for its feminist, justice-seeking, ensemble cast. Readers hail The Working for its diverse characters, real magical practice, and tilt towards hope.
“In The Working, BrightFlame shows us why she’s a master of climate fiction and lunarpunk. Her novel is a compelling narrative following five witches seeking to repair what’s wrong with the world. I was left wanting to have a meeting with this coven. Highly recommended!”
—Renan Bernardo, Nebula and Ignyte finalist author of Different Kinds of Defiance
“A heady mix of magic and environmental activism, written by a real Witch who knows her stuff and has a gift for embedding knowledge of trance and ritual into fiction.”
—Starhawk, author of The Fifth Sacred Thing
“BrightFlame’s writing is a joy and a gift. The Working stays grounded in actionable solutions to the existential threats of corporate greed and climate change, with the characters fighting for better futures on both the physical and metaphysical planes.”
—Sarena Ulibarri, author of Another Life

I teach to change the world
Active and teaching in the worldwide Reclaiming Tradition since 1995, my workshops with internationally acclaimed author and teacher, Starhawk, offer tools to shape our world. My Witchcamp teaching and regional workshops help us stay centered and resilient in these spinning times and widen our energy and effect in the world.
Next up: Watch for online and in-person workshops aligned with the magic of The Working.
In addition to working with pagans and Witches, I offer workshops to a wider audience, such as Storying a Regenerative Future presented through Columbia University to international sustainability educators and public school teachers.
I make magic for the world as a solarpunk Witch
Many have asked why I use the word Witch. See this post for more on that. Like others, I reclaim the word Witch as a descriptor of my Earth-based spiritual path. I’m proud to be part of the non-hierarchical, ecofeminist, antiracist, activist, evolving Reclaiming Tradition.
