The Weavers:
The weavers and the spinners are the people that are involved in making this camp happen. The weavers and spinners plan, organise and hold the camps practical workings. The Weavers hold the main threads of camp and are the main organisers. The spinners hold the bits and pieces of camp. Introducing the Wildkin weavers!
Kaya Jongen
Kaya’s spirituality has been embedded in the living, sacred earth for as long as she can remember. She grew up amongst more wildlife than she can name in the forests of Gumbaynggirr country on the north coast of NSW and currently lives in Darug and Gundungurra country in the Blue Mountains with her two teenagers.
Kaya has eclectically been immersed in earth based spirituality for years although only attended her first witch camp (EarthSong) a few years ago and she LOVED it and could feel how much the earth wants us to come together and honour in these kinds of ways more and more. She wants to contribute to more reclaiming camps, especially ones that all ages and whole families can come to.
Jade Edward
Jade is a Reclaiming witch living on Darug and Guringai country, in the watershed of Dyarubbin.
After discovering Reclaiming in 2018, she dove headfirst into the ecstatic experiences, learning much, and discovering how much more there was still to learn, forget, remember, and unlearn.
She loves to craft, whether it be with fibre, metal, wood, food, words, music, ritual, or digital bits. Finding patterns, systems, and messages of coherence amid chaos brings her joy and satisfaction, and she adores getting deep into the weeds and the details of anything and everything, teasing out threads of connection, meaning, nuance, and intricacy.
The tarot is an abiding guide to her magical practice, bringing layers of insight and wisdom through the shared web of history and tradition, and the multitude of interpretations.
Euca Louise
Euca Louise is an artist, maker and magical bushland creature. She lives on Darug and Gundungurra country, on a dissected plateau known as the Blue Mountains. Here she dyes clothes with leaves, raises her wild child and helps run seasonal public rituals. She delights in embodied and nature-based magic.
Gael Fraser
Originally hailing from the land of the Gaels, Scots and Picts (not to mention the Norse, Normans and various wandering Germanic tribes), I now live on land settled by the Cammeraygal People of the Guringai nation in Sydney’s Northern suburbs.
My first love of magic came from exploring the land of my birth as well as the folklore and literature of the early Celts, Norse, Greeks and Romans. The blood of the Isles continues to flow furiously through my veins and much of my magical awakenings have occurred while delving into the past.
Identifying as an eclectic witch for over 25 years I have led rituals and taught within my local community for a number of years. Despite reading Spiral Dance many years ago, I only became involved in Reclaiming within the last five years – drawn by its stated intentions of inclusivity and its expanding community.
After many years as an avid bookworm witch I am learning to enjoy the magic of spontaneous rituals inspired by the seasons, the weather and my children.
