Description

Can Wicca's two equal deities, once celebrated as revolutionary, make room for nonbinary believers? (msn.com)Do you ever feel like society’s perception of gender is being imposed on your spiritual beliefs? We certainly do, and that’s what we’re dissecting in our latest podcast episode. We go toe-to-toe with prevalent misconceptions about gender, beliefs and inclusion within Paganism and Witchcraft. We take a hard look at the dynamics that exist within Wicca, particularly the celebration of the masculine and feminine union, and the flawed notion that introducing the Goddess was groundbreaking. We're challenging the status quo, addressing misconceived exclusion within our community, and voicing our resistance against the authoritarian sections of the pagan community trying to dictate our beliefs. Moving beyond Wicca, we throw ourselves headfirst into an engaging conversation about the importance of inclusivity in spirituality while respecting each other's beliefs and practices. We strongly assert that traditional witchcraft is not some bygone relic, but remains relevant and thriving, reaffirming your right to practice your craft as you wish. As we navigate the intricate discussion of transgenderism within the context of nature and its alignment with the craft, we underline the importance of personal beliefs and individualism. So, join us in this eye-opening dialogue, as we traverse the intersections of belief, spirituality, and identity. You're promised a fresh perspective on gender, spirituality, and inclusion. Support the showJoin us on Discord: https://discord.gg/MdcMwqUjPZFacebook: (7) Life Temple and Seminary | Facebook
