Hello lovely AWA members & visitors,

We are delighted to remind you that AWA is a cherished safe space for all who seek to explore, learn, and express their authentic selves. Our dedication to ensuring a secure and inclusive environment is unwavering, and we are committed to taking every necessary step to maintain this commitment.

In our efforts to safeguard the well-being of everyone within our community, we have established certain guidelines to follow. As much as we value diversity, we do not tolerate any form of drama, rudeness, bullying, or discrimination towards any individual. We firmly believe that mutual respect and understanding are the foundation of a thriving community.

To embrace the richness of our diverse community, AWA warmly welcomes male witches, witches of color, non-binary witches, trans witches, CIS witches, non-traditional witches, and all others. We celebrate and cherish the uniqueness that each member brings to our group.

As part of our ongoing commitment to protect our cherished members and spaces, we have implemented certain measures. We kindly request that Facebook profiles be at least one year old to gain approval for membership, unless you reach out to us directly. Sadly, we have encountered scammers creating fake accounts to access groups, and we must remain vigilant to keep our space safe.

If, for your own safety, you wish to create an account specifically for your witchy interests, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us. You can reach out via private message or email at awamemberships@outlook.com. We are here to assist and ensure your experience within our community is enjoyable and secure.

Thank you all for contributing to the warmth and positivity that make AWA truly special. Let’s continue to support and uplift one another as we grow together on our magical journeys!

With love and light, The AWA Team

Land Acknowledgement

Treaty 6 – The Alberta Witches Association acknowledges the traditional land on which we reside and practice, is in Treaty Six Territory. We would like to thank the diverse Indigenous Peoples whose ancestors’ footsteps have walked this territory for centuries, such as nêhiyaw (Nay-hee-yow) / Cree, Dene (Deh-neyh), Anishinaabe (Ah-nish-in-ah-bay) / Saulteaux (So-toe), Nakota Isga (Na-koh-tah ee-ska) / Nakota Sioux (Na-koh-tah sue), and Niitsitapi (Nit-si-tahp-ee) / Blackfoot peoples. We also acknowledge this as the Métis’ (May-tee) homeland and the home of one of the largest communities of Inuit south of the 60th parallel. We will work together in building an inclusive community today and for future generations.

Treaty 7 – Alberta Witches Association wishes to acknowledge that the land on which we work, gather and play on. In Calgary (our home base), this is where the Bow River meets the Elbow River.  The traditional Blackfoot name of this place is “Moh’kins’tsis”. This is the traditional territories of the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprising the Siksika, Piikani, and Kainai First Nations).  Other Nations who are a part of the Treaty 7 region in Southern Alberta also call this place home, which includes the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including the Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Wesley First Nations)..  This territory is also home to Métis Nation of Alberta, Region III.
