Queer Witchcraft: Ancestral Resistance, Living Legacy

Saturday July 18, 2026 2:30pm - 3:30pm EDT

Ravinia B

Queer witchcraft is a living archive of resistance, resilience, and joy—rooted in the intertwined histories of magic and LGBTQ+ people. This presentation explores how queer communities have long transformed witchcraft and mythology into powerful spaces for spiritual sustenance, creative resistance, and community survival. We will trace how the persecution of witchcraft was also an attack on sexual and gender nonconformity, and how reclaiming these traditions honors queer ancestors while shaping liberatory futures. Through historical accounts and personal stories, we’ll meet queer witches, healers, and magical practitioners who defied erasure, finding strength in shared memory and turning ritual into acts of survival and liberation.
