This weeks episode is a bit of a special one in our books, because it isn't just a chance for us to learn something new about witchcraft, but it is also an opportunity for us to celebrate alongside our fellow witches today, the last day of June, as we talk about queer witchcraft! As two communities of people who operate outside of social norms and do not adhere to what the mass public defines as "nOrMaL" it must come as no surprise that the queer communities felt right at home in the occult and witchcraft community.
Join us as Felicia talks briefly about the history of pride and why we celebrate in June. Then we get into some benefits for those of you who are maybe trying to explore the intercepts between queer and witchcraft culture. We talk about some amazing content and creators who might be able help you in whatever phase your in in your journey through queer witchery! Lastly, we end on looking at a few deities who celebrate and represent queerness!
