Let's talk about trance! What do I mean when I say I'm doing a trance in ritual? This is about trance in my Witchcraft practice, which these days is largely informed by community practice in the Reclaiming tradition of Witchcraft. This topic was inspired by conversation in my Discord server, where my supporters (on Patreon or Ko-Fi) hang out! Links below.
