Elektra - I am a first generation Latino queer woman and Witch of color who knows that THAT alone is a mouthful, living on unceded Ohlone land. I found magic initially through connections of cycles of nature and the exploration of my place in it. Lunar intentions, shadow and devotional work became the gates of finding that I was bigger on the inside. I firmly believe in the interconnectedness of all beings. I love firelight, rope, the ocean, and music. My magical practice includes healing, kink and sex Magik, Iron Pentacle work, and fire-tending as acts of Devotions to my My matron Goddess Hekate, who I consider the Goddess of kink (among many other things) since she rules Boundaries and transitions.
Relatively new to Reclaiming tradition, I have found a sense of community and purpose among Reclaiming witches and feel committed to the work of magic and reclaiming joy, pleasure and fulfillment as our birthright. Still growing and tending to my edges, I find the critical examination of frameworks of power and privilege an important part of my magikal approach.
My name is Flame RosaNegra, the name the Goddess gave me on the night of my initiation into Reclaiming and Feri in 1990. I proudly call myself a Witch and Priestess of both Traditions.
I was born and have lived my whole life in the San Francisco Bay area. I moved to the city of San Francisco in 1979 from the East Bay area to be part of the San Francisco punk rock scene which was in its infancy. I was the major songwriter, lead singer and guitarist of the punk art band Animal Things. We played the local clubs, recorded and toured up through the mid 1986.
But by then my alcoholism and drug addiction had taken over my life and the band disbanded. I am 25 years sober and go to online AA meetings at least 3 times a week and most weeks six times a week. AA is a major part of my spirituality which includes the Goddess as my higher power.
Needing a sober place to live, I moved in with Gwydion in Reclaiming Gulch in San Francisco's outer Mission district . At the time Gwydion was co-teaching all the core Reclaiming classes, and he invited me to take the elements of magic class, which not only was helpful for my recovery from alcoholism and drug addiction but started my growth as a Witch and Priestess. By 1991 I sought initiation in Reclaiming and the goddess gave me my name. I have taught in the San Francisco Bay area all of the core classes as well as teaching at numerous witch camps.
I have been involved in the Kink and Leather scene for many years and am currently holding the title of Sober Kinkster San Francisco 2018. I identify as a sub.
Luckey Bunny Barak (mx/fae/they)
My name comes from my Lebanese and Irish families of origin. Of all the ways that I identify, Mixed resonates the most - mixed race, mixed gender, pan, nomadic, invisibly disabled... All these and more inform the ways that I'm an edgewater and bridge tender.
I've learned and magicked with Reclaiming for over 20 years. The first time I met Freya at Winter Witch Camp, I knew I was one of her temple sex priestesses. In service to the Love Goddesses, I've learned so much to offer workshops and coaching including consent facilitation, pleasure rituals and erotic practices. So many ways to experience and co-create pleasure in our bodies. I know that pleasure is essential to our strength, vitality and wellness and is so important share to defend.
In the rest of my life, I'm a somatic coach, journey guide, community organizer, seed planter, herbal medicine maker, healer and beloved of the natural beings and Earth kinself. I'm excited to be co-facilitating the path of enlivening erotic and elemental life force! (working title).
From the time I was a baby witch growing up in the country with a pond, ducks, bunnies and beavers through to now where I spend at least half the year in the forests, my greatest magickal teachers have been been the stars, the sun, the desert air, the trees and plants, the crystals and the waterfalls and creeks.
One of my biggest kinks is good negotiation. I love exploring sensual body delights with others. I really wish we all just touched each other more.

Shel Stefan (they/them) is a Chicago-born queer, transmasc, nonbinary artist of Italian and Austrian settler descent who now lives on the traditional territory of the Stó꞉lō people outside of what is known as Vancouver, BC. They live rurally at a lake cabin and spend their time in awe and tandem with the ecosystem and magic of the lake and land, making and teaching art, growing food, wrangling their pack of sweet dogs, adoring their beloved crush, doing grandpa things, and splitting/chopping/stacking firewood to keep their home warm.
Shel’s creative practice has investigated notions of the beloved, gender, sexuality, queer identity, witchcraft, and kink for 30 years. They have exhibited, performed, and presented their artwork in Italy, China, Canada, and the United States, and have taught all levels of drawing and painting to people of all ages and abilities for about 3 decades.

Shel’s approach to kink and magic is rooted in creativity and sensory expression and they believe that art has the capacity to achieve, hold, and explore deep components of this terrain.
Hi, I’m Starsinger (she/they)! I am an elemental witch, priestess, and embodied energy worker. As a domme, I delight in the transformative ritual of power exchange, with sensuality, laughter, and mutual respect as integral parts of the interaction. A jubilantly exhibitionist transplant from the dungeons of New York City, I currently live in San Antonio, the ancestral and unceded homeland of the Payaya, a tribe of the Tāp Pīlam Coahuiltecan Nation.
I am an ecstatic, a teacher, a dabbling writer, an ardent traveler; undone by words, music, dance, oceans, mountains, Lapsang Souchong, mystery, and strong, vulnerable people. As a member of a local Dianic circle, I have taught and/or priestessed numerous intensives, retreats, and classes, and was privileged to participate in a year-long Reclaiming Priestess Apprenticeship in Portland. A lifelong teacher, I am so excited to bring my skills, desires, and enthusiasm to teaching this year Pleasures of Beltane!
