Spiral Dance 2020 Moves Online

Dear Reclaiming Community,

Due to the pandemic, the 41st Annual Spiral Dance ritual will be held online on Halloween, Saturday, October 31st, 2020.

We hope you will join us on this blue moon, a mere three days before the election.

We in the Spiral Dance Cell decided to act with an abundance of caution to protect our Pagan community. We will be reaching out very soon with more information as to how you may participate in this life-changing magical working.

Yours in Service,

The Spiral Dance Organizing Cell

Dancing the Spiral: A Companion to the Writings of Starhawk

Welcome to Reclaiming Quarterly’s latest project – a companion text to accompany Starhawk’s voluminous writings, featuring dozens of magical workings, ritual ideas, activist skills, pagan history, and more. The draft is now available for free download – print edition planned for 2021.

Dancing the Spiral – free download and more info.

Created in cooperation with Starhawk and Teen Earth Magic witchcamp, the goals are: (1) an exciting and challenging book for people working alone or with friends; (2) inspiration for folks to form a circle so they can do these workings with others; and (3) a fun book to flip through and get inspired!

The book also features pages of magical and activist resources – books, music, websites, free downloads, and more.This initial mock-up already contains much of the material, including the just-completed history essays.

We hope to complete and publish this book as a PDF and print edition sometime in 2021. Meanwhile, we’ll post drafts as they develop.

Spiral Dance 2019!

October 26, 2019 – Craneway Pavilion – Richmond CA

Doors Open at 6 for Altar Viewing
& Reading the Names of The Beloved Dead

Ritual Begins at 7

Information & Tickets: ReclaimingSpiralDance.org

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 sober — and nonetheless ecstatic!  Help us keep the space accessible by avoiding scented products.

Volunteers – many volunteers are needed to create this amazing community event! Singers, dancers, techies, set-up & clean-up, publicity… Help create the magic! Email us – see below.
