Ritual Arc Team 2025
Here is our team of witches that will be priestexing our all-camp rituals in 2025! Affectionately referred to as the RAT.
Alex Spurlock
(she/they)
Alex Spurlock is a queer, disabled witch, priestess of Aphrodite, student teacher in the Reclaiming tradition, and general community priestex who currently lives on unceded Southern Pomo/Graton Rancheria lands in so called Santa Rosa, CA, USA. She has found a home in Reclaiming and is currently gaining experience across multiple roles. She also helps run the International Reclaiming Discord and has begun work on a Reclaiming lorekeeping podcast. She is involved in the Ableism-Impacted Reclaiming Alliance (AIRA), an affinity group that seeks to understand the ways our physically and mentally disabled, chronically ill, neurodivergent, and aging community members are excluded from Reclaiming spaces and how to establish more accessible options that integrate us with the wider community. Hearing the call of the Dark Forest, she is very excited to join the Ritual Arc Team this year and help craft the magick and mystery of camp.
Diana Love
(they/them)
Diana Love is a non-binary queer witch living on Turtle Island in Ho-Chunk land. This place holds space for bountiful water, creating lakes, rivers, and creeks as the glaciers retreated, leaving lavish landscapes where the wild can thrive. Diana has been a Reclaiming witch for over 25 years, with threads of magic weaving throughout, bringing them back to life, over and over again. Their magic tunes to the landscapes and beings that hold them, especially Spider and Crow. They are also in dedicated relationships with Freya and Hel. This land, this magic, and these relationships are crucial to finding their way in such precarious times. Reminding them to let flow or build containers, to rage with fierceness or to be as gentle as tears running down cheeks, and to soften or hold as needed. Magic is our birthright, and Diana is excited to help us weave our fates with worlds reborn!
Raven Edgewalker
(they/them)
RAT Anchor
Raven Edgewalker is a British Witch, teacher, artist, and collector of sticks who makes their living crafting beautiful pagan tools and jewellery, dwelling in the magical landscape of Somerset. They are a Reclaiming and Anderson Feri initiate and have worked within both traditions for 25 years. Raven sees their work in the world as building relationship within community, with deity, land, and its beings.
Raven has been lucky to teach many Reclaiming Witchcamps and other workshops across the world, face to face and online, as a founder and teacher of World Tree Lyceum.
Stephen Pocock
(he/him)
Stephen is an Aotearoa-born immigrant to Turtle Island, where he grew up and came to live in Huchiun in unceded Lisjan territory, home of the Chechenyo-speaking Ohlone people (now known as Oakland, California). He came to Reclaiming in 2015 and fell spirit first into classes, rituals and this camp. Continuing in this path led to him to being an initiate in this tradition. Stephen also delves deeply into British Traditional Witchcrafts as well as the syncretic magic of late antiquity. His personal practice centers on working with spirit allies and deities in trance and aspect. Mirth and Reverence, from the Charge of the Goddess, forms the axis around which his spirit revolves. Over the years, he has taught in a number of different disciplines, from acting to food crafting, all of which inform his own magical practice.
Sequoia Chenoah Roane
(they/them)
Sequoia Chenoah Roane is a queer, nonbinary, neurodivergent witch living on Siletz land in the Pacific Northwest of Turtle Island. They came into the Reclaiming tradition at 11 years old, and have been practicing ritual magic within its lineage ever since.
Also an artist, singer, and writer, Sequoia’s works commonly feature meditations on death, sex, queerness, gender identity, body, and (of course) magic – everything they make is a spell, and an object of devotion.
Their favorite color is green, their favorite animals are bats, and their favorite pen is currently a blue-ink clicky ballpoint from the Royal Moore Auto Center. Sequoia is a solar Gemini, and moves gracefully between states of reverence and mirth. This is reflected in their magic, artwork, and general behavior.
