Sup, witches? Our "Creating Qulture" season continues with Part Two of Queerness in Fantasy. In this episode, IFQT producer Eric Eubank got to sit down with his friends and supernatural scholars Justin and Renee to talk about the history of witches, what they can represent, and how labels around your sexuality and spirituality are a personal choice. Then, producer Lily Mueller hosts a roundtable about tarot with Samuel Silva, Chai Turner, and Stellan Knowles. You’ll learn the basics of the cards, why our guests were drawn to tarot in the first place, and you’ll even get to witness a three-card reading about the future of the podcast. Plus, hosts Samuel Smalls Jr. and Lily Mueller reflect on their own witchy practices over the years. Don’t be scared, just hop on your magic broomstick, give your tarot deck a shuffle, and press play on this episode, because the magic has already started.
