Reclaiming

Reclaiming is a tradition of Witchcraft that resulted when Starhawk and other members of the original Reclaiming collective combined eco-feminist politics and the Feri Tradition as taught by Victor and Cora Anderson.

"Reclaiming is a community of women and men working to unify spirit and politics. Our vision is rooted in the religion and magic of the Goddess - the Immanent Life Force. We see our work as teaching and making magic - the art of empowering ourselves and each other. In our classes, workshops, and public rituals, we train our voices, bodies, energy, intuition, and minds. We use the skills we learn to deepen our strength, both as individuals and as community, to voice our concerns about the world in which we live, and bring to birth a vision of a new culture."

For a flavor of what Reclaiming is like as a tradition and spirituality, check out Starhawk's Five Point Agenda as well as the Reclaiming Principles of Unity. You should also visit the Reclaiming web site where you will find a whole host of information including A Brief History of Reclaiming by Vibra Willow, a Working Definition of Reclaiming by Starhawk, as well as an overview of Reclaiming Tradition Witchcraft by M. Macha Nightmare.

May we Dare to Dream a New World into Being.
