"Elements of Magic: Reclaiming Earth, Air, Fire, Water, Spirit" edited by Jane Meredith & Gede Parma, is the newest Reclaiming Tradition book, and I finally got around to finishing it and posting a video about it! As you can see, I waited until I had the ability to edit this video, to add a little more flair and clarity. This is actually the first video I edited more than just cutting out pauses, since I got my editing software back this month. =)
With more than 30 contributing authors, this book is a wealth of information, exercises, and magickal techniques within the Reclaiming "Elements of Magic" class format. Beginner appropriate, and all-levels-of-experience-friendly.
To learn more about the Reclaiming tradition, visit reclaiming.org or check out the other books I mentioned in this video: "The Spiral Dance" by Starhawk, and "The Twelve Wild Swans" by Starhawk and Hilary Valentine. (These are just the most introductory-type books about the tradition, but Starhawk and others have written many more!)
Irisanya Moon's "Pagan Portals: Reclaiming Witchcraft" came out after this video, and I made a video about it here! youtu.be/cNfP0a7jIaI

![Trans Pagans & Inclusivity [LGBTQ+ Pagans #3]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/z8IosmEJR7M/mqdefault.jpg "Trans Pagans & Inclusivity [LGBTQ+ Pagans #3]
Years ago, when I did a couple other videos about the intersection between Pagan and LGBTQ+ identities, someone asked me to talk about Transgender Pagans as the third video in that series. But since Im not a Transgender Pagan, I didnt think it was appropriate for me to speak on that topic, and I explain that thought process a bit more in this video. Ive been working with Madelyn this summer, and she decided to cover this basic topic over on her channel! You will find that video linked. I wanted to give the back story about being asked about this here in a video on my channel, and also give a few more thoughts from my position and perspective now, in 2021, now that Ive been part of a tradition and community and strives to be intersectional and inclusive for a few years now. I also have better vocabulary to express my support now than I would have years ago, even though I was always in support.
Check out Madelyns video! Channel name is EpicallyCurious!
And a big thank you to Madelyn for captioning those earlier two LGBTQ+ Pagans videos on my channel (as well as many others videos) as part of her work during this internship, and thanks for covering this topic from a perspective that I literally just cannot provide from my own experience.
