Dan - Registration

Dan

Dan Mecurial (they/them) is a shapeshifting, queer, nonbinary Trickster devotee and devotional polytheist, and Otherworld worker. They are a Montessori homeschooler, teacher and advocate for neurodivergent small humans, writer and artist, and live on Quandamooka Country with their family. They have been Pagan for the majority of their life, continuing to unfold more and more layers of wonder with every year. A co-founder of the Temple of All Gods in so-called Brisbane, Dan and the Temple have offered public rituals, classes, workshops and gatherings for Pagans of all paths since 2016. They are also a devotee of ravens and a priest of Apollo with an interest in creativity, language, divination, worship and teaching. Dan’s first brush with Reclaiming came through reading StarHawk’s work many years ago, and then later being able to take part in the magic of a Spiral Dance with StarHawk in Glastonbury, though it wasn’t until Dan first attended CloudCatcher WitchCamp in 2018 that they truly fell in love with the energy and vibrancy of the Reclaiming Community. They have been involved with CloudCatcher ever since, looking forward to the camp every year. This is Dan’s third year as an organiser and they are taking on the roles of Teacher Link and Venue Link. They are also the President of CloudCatcher WitchCamp Inc.

Her first WitchCamp was in Glastonbury, her second Iron and Pearl Pentacle, online, nearly twenty years later. 

Athena and Hera guide, and challenge, her along her path and her life and she is a little in love with the star goddess. As well as witchery, she has a deep love of science fiction, music and lego.
