Queering Magic – 2-Session Workshop

Notions of gender polarity (binary) appear in many magical traditions worldwide. However, there are alternative models for understanding and more flexible interpretations.

In this two-part workshop, Julian Vayne examines the connections between gender, sexuality and magical practice as they appear in forms of tantra, western ceremonial magic and other esoteric styles. Specifically, he discusses which occult approaches reinforce gender stereotyping and which ones encourage diverse forms of sexual magic, probing the grey areas between.

He also provides several practical exercises for exploring these concepts magically (with a chance to try them live in the workshop).
