Welcome to "Aquarian Music Witch: The Podcast." In this episode, we dive into the intersection of witchcraft and queerness, honoring Pride month by exploring the historical and cultural ties between these two realms.

The episode examines how witchcraft has often been a label for those considered sexually "other" or non-normative by society, and for otherness more broadly. Through stories of figures like Joan of Arc, Sister Benedetta Carlini, and Maria of Ximildegui, we trace connections between queer experiences, behaviors, and stereotypes, and accusations of witchcraft. In the conclusion, we explore how reclaiming magic and witchcraft can be an act of self-empowerment.
