About Angela Raincatcher
Raised in the Spiritualist and Metaphysical community in the 1970s and early 80s, I discovered Wicca and Paganism as a teen. I have studied a variety of nature spirituality traditions, practices, cultures, and philosophies. In the late 1990s, I moved to the DC metropolitan area, where I have coordinated many community events, including the DC Pagans’ Night Out (1998–2000) and DC Pagan Pride Day (2001–2002), as well as public seasonal rituals.
I lead neo-pagan/pantheist celebrations throughout the Mid-Atlantic and have taught workshops on ritual performance, polytheistic and pantheistic theology, and nature spirituality at the Council of Magickal Arts, Free Spirit Gathering, Sacred Space Foundation, and Ecumenicon.
In 2002, I was elected the Celebrant for a local pantheist circle, Becoming, and was ordained as clergy by the membership after three years of service in 2005. I am registered to perform legal marriage ceremonies in Maryland.
Since 2004, I have been a student with Katrina Messenger at Reflections Mystery School. I have opened to my vocation of priestess, artist, and healer for my community and family of blood and of spirit.
In 2005, I began creating digital collages to express and share my spiritual visions and experiences. I am just beginning to show my art in local venues, such as Artomatic 2008.
