In this episode, Rue, Kenzie, and Mica share our magical coming out stories. We discuss how coming out as magical can be just as difficult as coming out as queer, and how queerness and magic are interlinked. We share some of our early magical experiences, disapproval of parents, identifying as a witch, science vs. magic, and the politics of magic in the post-New Age.

In line with our commitment to decolonial healing, one third of the profits of our Patreon will be given to a BIPOC- and/or LGBTQ-led organization doing decolonization or decolonial healing work.

The first organization we're partnering with is Kunsi Keya Tamakoce of Huntington, so-called-Vermont (Abenaki Territory). Kunsi Keya is an organization led by Beverly Little Thunder, a Native two-spirit woman and founder of the Women’s Sundance who teaches the traditions and ceremonies of her Lakota heritage. Kunsi Keya provides a pathway for Native women from Lakota and other nations to come and reconnect to traditional lifeways. Learn more at: www.kunsikeya.org
