New Orleans Witchcraft Retreat 2026
​New Orleans doesn’t reveal itself all at once. The Crescent City opens slowly — through sound, scent, rhythm, history, and Spirit. This is a city built on ceremony, devotion, grief, joy, and survival. A place where the veil feels thin not because it’s dramatic, but because people here have always lived in relationship with the unseen.
​
New Orleans teaches connection — to the land, to the dead, to each other, and to yourself. And when you move through this city with respect and intention, it always leaves you with a gift. Sometimes it’s clarity. Sometimes it’s courage. Sometimes it’s a quiet remembering that stays with you long after you’ve gone.
​
That’s why we’re gathering here — not to consume the city, but to honor it, walk with it, and create sacred container together, honoring those who have stood here before us.
​
Together with my friends at House of Witchcraft, I’m inviting you back to New Orleans for our 2026 New Orleans Witchcraft Retreat — a reverent gathering rooted in ritual, connection, and community, held in deep respect for the city and its living history.
​
This is not a place you simply visit.
It’s a place you enter with honor, reverence, and respect.​​​​
​​​A Sacred Gathering in the French Quarter
Join us July 16–19, 2026 | New Orleans Witchcraft Retreat
​
We’re gathering in the heart of the French Quarter for an immersive journey rooted in witchcraft, ceremony, history, and community. This New Orleans retreat is an invitation to step into deeper connection — with Spirit, with your body, and with one another — inside a sacred container designed for reflection, ritual, and rest.
​
Our home base will be the Olivier House Hotel, a historic home and former mansion tucked into the French Quarter:
​
Olivier House Hotel
828 Toulouse St, New Orleans, LA 70112
(504) 525-8456

​
This historic mansion offers private rooms and shared space, walking distance from some of the most powerful crossroads in the city of New Orleans. Fly into Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport and step straight into the rhythm of Orleans.

The Public New Orleans Ritual
Saturday, 7/18/26 at 8:00 PM
​
I’m deeply excited that I'll be hosting a public ritual alongside my friends at House of Witchcraft. This gathering is open to locals and visitors, especially those feeling the calling to step into circle, honor the crossroads, and work with intention in community.
​
What is opening the Crossroads?: Opening the crossroads invites movement where things have been stuck, calling in guidance, opportunity, and protection as we stand at the threshold between what has been and what’s ready to begin.

Who I Am: Anya
I’m Anya: A spiritual writer, witch, and guide rooted in grounded mysticism, embodied practice, and lived magick. My work weaves witchcraft, the healing journal, yoga, and Spirit into spaces that feel real, reverent, and human. I believe ritual should support life, not escape it and that sacred work is strongest when done in community, with care to the world around us.
This retreat isn’t about escapism, but connecting deeper with the world around you through community building. It’s about connection, vulnerability, curiosity, and honoring what’s already moving through you.
​
Who Is House of Witchcraft?
House of Witchcraft is a ritual house devoted to balance — holding both shadow and light with integrity, respect, and skill. Their work blends traditional witchcraft, ceremonial depth, and modern practice, creating spaces that are powerful without being dogmatic, mysterious without being exclusive.
​
Together, we’re creating a container that honors history, welcomes the present, and leaves room for transformation.
