Welcome Witches to Witchcraft from A to Z, your go-to witchy podcast for finding the magic hidden among the mundane! My name is Elaine Evergreen, a practicing witch of over 15 years now and I'll be your host this week.

This episode is all about the aspects of witchcraft that many of us are attracted to and how it all intersects with the LGBTQ+ community.

Now, one thing about the witchcraft community that I, and many others, have noticed a long while ago is the heavy representation of the LGBTQ+ community in the witchcraft community. In fact, a Pew Research Center study in 2015 found that twice as many queer adults say they identify as a member of a non-christian faith group such as paganism than the general population. It seems that when many organized religions and cultures around the world take away power from and discredit people they deem less than or other, those very same people gravitate towards communities that uplift, empower, and embrace those who don’t fit the status quo. Enter - the witchcraft, pagan, and alternative spirituality communities.Support this Podcast:
