Ms. Moon, does the Reclaiming witchcraft tradition a great service in less than a hundred pages. While the text is written as an invitation to someone unfamiliar with the Reclaiming tradition I came away from the lovely little primer Reclaiming Witchcraft published by Pagan Portals, appreciating my own tradition and how it has grown and is continually adapting and changing to become a more inclusive and expansive community. The author explains the pertinent history of Reclaiming by moving between historical discussion and her personal relationships and experiences, as she is weaving the two threads together readers gain an understanding of some of the patterns of ritual, spiritual practices, magickal activism and a taste of the infinite possibilities they might anticipate experiencing when participating in Reclaiming communities. She pulls back the veil on public gatherings, small communities and solitary practices that enrich and strengthen the community and draws the reader closer with her descriptions of the wheel of the year rituals, classes, camps and community. The concept of personal spiritual authority while in community is a key foundation of Reclaiming and the author succinctly makes this clear. She introduces and gives excellent context for the Principles of Unity (POU) a key document of Reclaiming and discusses how it came to be and functions as a living document within the community that is still young in the spiritual world. A community that grapples with many of societies challenges all while leaning into connection and community. Finally, the primer provides resources for connecting to the Reclaiming Tradition and beginning or deepening one’s own spiritual journey. A wonderful read for the curious and an excellent reference for those already connected to Reclaiming. ~ , Anastasia Prentiss
