Paganicon 2019

Now more than ever, we need a vibrant, political Paganism. As more people explore Feminist Witchcraft as an act of resistance, we need to face the challenges of building a tradition that is intersectional, vibrant, and relevant. This presentation and discussion will explore the ways in which Feminist Witchcraft can reckon with our sometimes problematic history to build a more just future. How do we move beyond the biological essentialism, White Feminism, trans exclusionary ideologies, and cultural appropriation that so often are inherent in our spaces and texts? How do we build a Feminist Craft for the present and the future -- one that is affirming, inclusive, intersectional, actively anti-racist and anti-colonial, and accessible? Participants will be invited to brainstorm ideas, techniques, and strategies for building the next wave of Feminist Witchraft.
