Meet Corra – Movie Nerd and Teacher at Heart

Corra is a New York native who moved to Arizona in 2014. As an active member of Arizona Reclaiming since 2015 and SteerCo member since 2022, Corra brings her love of teaching and learning to the community. She is fun-loving and light-hearted, quick with a movie quote or a Disney reference, and she is always up for a game of “the floor is lava.” 

Aspen: Tell the community a little about your witchy self. How did you find your path?

Corra: I’ve been a practicing witch since I was eighteen - right after I completed my confirmation so I’m a recovering Catholic still. I discovered witchcraft on my own by stopping by my local mall Waldenbooks and finding a copy of D.J. Conway’s Celtic Magic. I picked it up, brought it home, devoured it and set up my makeshift altar on my rubbermaid tote I kept at the end of my bed. The altar was easily converted, and I hid the book between my mattress. Fast forward to now, my entire family knows and embraces my path. 

A: How about Reclaiming specifically? How did you find AZ Reclaiming, why did you choose to become part of SteerCo, and what will you be working on?

C: Before moving to Arizona in 2014, I called myself eclectic and didn’t practice much in groups, aside from a small group of friends in college. About a year after relocating I found the Arizona Reclaiming Group in 2015 and loved it! 

I chose to be a part of SteerCo in 2022 - I heard the call and I really wanted to be of service to the magickal community that has given me so much already; a place of community, magick and amazing friendships. I’ve attended Witchcamp multiple times after finding this group, attended a myriad of classes like Ritual Muses and online courses like Magickal Writing.

This year, I’ll be working on Merlin’s Magickal Meetups primarily with Thalia. At heart I’m a teacher, though transitioning to coaching - I want to be of service to people. That’s why I want to develop and co-create amazing magickal classes for our community!

A: Tell us a bit about yourself. What are some of your likes and interests?

C: Sure! First off, I’m a movie nerd, I quote them often - even in my spellwork. I love music as well, and I’ve either got a playlist going or ambient music (when I’m not listening to a podcast that is).  I’m all about Disney, pop culture, dinosaurs and cryptids. I love mysteries, the supernatural and true crime as well. I suppose as a Sagittarius one of my true passions is travel. I obviously love Disney parks, but thanks to my amazing partner I’m learning to love new destinations. I also love going to Ventura, Witchcamp in California and visiting home back in Central NY.
