kyokosasagawaI've been always interested in witchcraft a whole. There were times where I vehemently denied this, because honestly, after years of being atheist, admitting to any form of spirituality feels embarrassing? But something about it has appealed to me since I was a child and first got in trouble for wanting a book on witchcraft.
So when my mental health can handle it, I've been reading and listening things about witches.
A few days ago I found a book on scribd called "Queering Your Craft: Witchcraft from the Margin" by Cassandra Snow and it's been introducing me to basic beginner concepts. I think it's a very good book for beginner queer witches, because so far (I'm not too far in it) it doesn't explicitly demand you do one thing or another. It simply talks about different aspects of magic from a queer perspective, and I really appreciate that because witchcraft can be an intimidating place to navigate as a queer person.
I've also been listening to a podcast called The Lil Black Witch...The voices are really calming to listen to, and the early episodes aren't too long. I'm white, but I think it might be a good podcast to listen to regardless of your race as it claims to be pro-inclusion including for LGBTQ folk.. I'm intrigued if they'll include the asexual/aromantic community once I get to the episode on sex magic.
There's also a Reddit forum called /r/SASSWitches which I appreciate as it was what made it clear to me that I can be a witch without any Gods being involved. It's Reddit, so I can't guarantee the site as a whole is a great place to be in, but I think that this particular subreddit is nice to scroll through and get ideas from.
