The Reclaiming Tradition
Reclaiming is a Tradition of Witchcraft 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. We train our voices, bodies, energy, intuition, and minds in order 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.
