The values of the Reclaiming tradition stem from our understanding that the earth is alive and all of life is sacred and interconnected. We see the Goddess as immanent in the earth’s cycles of birth, growth, death, decay and regeneration. Our practice arises from a deep, spiritual commitment to the earth, to healing and to the linking of magic with political action. - excerpt from the Principles of Unity

40th Annual Reclaiming Spiral Dance Ritual - October 26
|
For 40 years, the Witches of Bay Area Reclaiming have danced the spiral of rebirth at Samhain, Halloween.
Join us as we celebrate four decades of magic, activism and healing. The veil is thin -- we mourn our beloved dead and energize the forces of renewal. Our magical intention for this year’s ritual is: “To reclaim the golden thread of magic that spans time, and draw from the lessons of the past to weave a just and vibrant future.” We welcome all ages, all genders, people of diverse physical abilities, people of color, LGBTQ+ folk, Witches, Pagans, non-Pagans, activists, seekers, and the respectfully curious. Our rituals are clean and drug-and-alcohol-free -- and nonetheless ecstatic! Help us keep the space accessible by avoiding scented products. Let it begin now!
