Building Inclusive Ritual Community In Tucson

What do you wish I asked this guest? What was your "quotable moment" from this episode?

Laura joins me from Tucson to talk about witch identity as something you embody, not a club you earn your way into. We chat about mental health, religious trauma, inclusivity, and the small practical ways you can keep a living practice even when you’re exhausted. 
• building community ritual spaces that stay accessible through livestreams and low-cost offerings 
• defining “witch” as innate connection, sovereignty, and relationship over rigid rules 
• practicing through depression and anxiety with smaller daily rituals and less guilt 
• working with deities like Astarte, Brigid, Hecate, and Loki through offerings, voice, sex, and service 
• unlearning purity culture and the fear-based conditioning of fundamentalist Christianity 
• navigating inclusivity in witchy communities including how to welcome cis men while protecting safety 
• genderqueer identity, presentation, and what makes a space feel safe enough to show up 
• a Saturn return warning about marriage
• a film industry story that captures chaos, boundaries, and survival skills
