Ohio Reclaiming Witchcraft is an active community in Ohio, USA!

ORW started out as just one Reclaiming Witch in Ohio looking to get in touch with others. That process began in 2019. By September 2021 we had a group of active members who started meeting up to plan rituals or just spend time together both in person and online.

In 2023, we celebrated two years of active Reclaiming community in Ohio!

One FAQ we get is about whether we are a coven. We do not consider this a "coven", but rather a wider community. We recognize that whether we fit what someone is looking for will depend on how you use the word "coven"! We consider ourselves a community space for Reclaiming Witches anywhere in Ohio, and we also have some neighbors from surrounding areas and other Reclaiming communities around the globe in connection with us. There is no initiation associated with joining this local group, nor is attendance required at all our events. We are an 18+ community, for legal and safety reasons.

Sober Spaces

Note: Reclaiming tradition spaces are intentionally alcohol and substance-free, both in person and online. This means that we do not use alcohol or recreational substances at our community events, nor do we discuss them in our online spaces. We agree to this because we believe it is possible to attain higher states of consciousness without the use of mind altering substances. We agree to this because there are many people in our community who are in recovery, and we aim to create safer, sober spaces to engage with spirituality and Witchcraft. This is not a dictate for your personal life and time outside of Reclaiming community space and events, or a judgement on other traditions you may engage in that utilize these practices. This agreement is specifically applied to the space we share together during Reclaiming community events, in person or online.

(Parts of this language are adapted from the Reclaiming Worldwide Witchcamp “Sober Space” policy.)

The Ohio Reclaiming community has grown over just the past few years to include a core group of Witches of varying experience levels who get together online or in person when possible and safe. The majority of us are in northeastern Ohio, and we also have online gatherings so that folks who are more geographically spread out can still be connected to the community. We have friends in other Reclaiming communities from other states and countries, as well, some of whom are connected with us online and help to share news from the tradition as a whole.
