I learned about how to do ritual, how to work with others, how to appreciate diversity of thought and personality, how to love myself and my body in a new way, how to laugh with my whole belly, and how to see the magic in all things. Participants will learn to work with 12 stories throughout the course of the apprenticeship, 8 of which are offered as part of the work and 4 of which are discovered by the apprentices as they move through the equinoxes, cross-quarter days, and solstices.

2024 Mythic Witchcraft Apprenticeship
At this time, we do not charge application fees, and there is no payment due upon application. Danielle reads all applications personally. We request serious applications only. PLEASE do not apply just to see if you can get in. All applications are reviewed on a rolling basis until all 13 spots are full. We respond to ALL applications. If you apply and do not receive a response, please check your spam folder. If you receive an acceptance letter, please respond before the date specified in your welcome letter. Please note that all financial assistance for 2024 has been allocated and do not apply at this time if you require a scholarship.
Our work is a year-long journey into the wilds of spellcraft, ceremony, and myth. The Mythic Witchcraft Apprenticeship is essentially a conscious exploration of your “living craft” and “living story,” supported by Danielle in a non-hierarchical partnership.
To be humble means to be “close to the earth.” This is an intentionally humble offering, a weaving of your own experience with what wisdom Danielle has to share about word-witchery, embodied magick and spellcraft, and what it means to have a “living Craft” in a wounded and wondrous world. Consider the apprenticeship as a hearty meal prepared with much love; you are invited to taste all of it, to eat as much as you like, but there is absolutely no pressure to devour every little bite that’s been prepared for you. Everything in the apprenticeship is an invitation. If there is a component of the work that does not suit your life and/or path you already walk, we will adjust accordingly. This is not static and immutable work, after all, and Danielle claims absolutely no mastery over the Craft. She will share what she knows and aims to be as transparent as possible about the apprenticeship’s structure and expectations.
In the interest of such transparency, here are some details: There are 13 spots available in the apprenticeship each year. All spaces tend to fill within a few months after registration opens, so we strongly recommend applying as soon as possible. The 2024 apprenticeship will be the 7th incarnation of the program.
Registration will stay open until all 13 spots have been filled, and the apprenticeship will begin on February 10th, 2024. The apprenticeship is offered completely online, with optional participation in three virtual immersions and one in-person, residential immersion included in the cost of tuition. Participation in the immersions is encouraged but not necessary. You do not need to attend the immersions live in order to complete the apprenticeship, but you are strongly encouraged to do so if you’re able. For the virtual immersions, everything is recorded so participants can view the content later. For the in-person immersion, you need to attend live in order to take part, but there is an optional “project bundle” that is offered to those who cannot attend the on-the-land immersion and wish to move through some of the rituals solitarily.
The program is grounded in an “everything is an invitation” philosophy. You will not get booted from the program because you do not attend or complete something. We know this goes against our academic training and requires a little self-discipline. You decide how much or how little you want to do. You will have access to all materials and recordings for at least three years after the program ends (or they can be downloaded and kept forever and ever).
At the beginning of each season, participants are invited to consider seeing their lives through the lens of a particular myth, folk tale, or “wonder story.” Stories are the original spells. We will allow the mythic intelligence to guide our spell-work, to open portals for the “wild unseen” to find us, and to gift us with the personal insight we require. Participants will learn to work with 12 stories throughout the course of the apprenticeship, 8 of which are offered as part of the work and 4 of which are discovered by the apprentices as they move through the equinoxes, cross-quarter days, and solstices.
At the beginning of each moon cycle, participants receive an outline of that moon’s work which includes dark, new, waxing, full, and waning moon practices aligning with that season’s energies and story. The outline is always accompanied by an audio tutorial detailing the work. Apprentices can expect to spend a minimum of 1 hour per week on the work if they go all-in; this does not include the optional, recommended reading.
Apprentices receive significant discounts on (and sometimes free tickets to) several one to three day virtual programs with Danielle throughout the year, and early applicants may receive this benefit before the program begins.
The final component of the apprenticeship are two one-on-one sessions with Danielle that are approximately 60 minutes in length, the rhythm and content of which will depend on the season. There is one, one-on-one session in Spring and Autumn. The one-on-one sessions are tailored to the participant but generally focus on how to “hold” the energies of the season and wield them in their work, mold the recommended spells and vision work to their lifestyle, and integrate the new content with the participant’s lived experience, with the particular and personal myth they are living.
