Episode 35: Gender Render

Episode 35: Gender Render

Welcome to the 35th episode of the Science Witch Podcast!

In this episode, Enku and Anjel discuss gender, what it is and what it is not, and also how incorporating gender fluidity in your witchcraft practice can be a potent source of power. Enku introduces the topic that he has studied for much of his academic career and discusses how gender is a social construct. They discuss how gender can further be used as a polarity and spectrum and how this empowers the witch to play with gender as a liminal space.

It is important that we acknowledge the fact that Portland, Oregon is located in the traditional homelands of the Multnomah, Wasco, Cowlitz, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Watlala Bands of Chinook, Tualatin Kalapuya, Molalla, and many other indigenous nations who made their homes along the Columbia and Willamette Rivers. It is our intention in recognizing these communities to honor their lives, their legacies, their elders, their descendants, and the vibrancy and importance of their ongoing work—and to stand in solidarity with them at every opportunity.
