This article is based on participant observation and semi-formal interviews in Montreal neo-pagan settings, especially Wicca and Reclaiming Witchcraft. It is organized around interview-derived motifs of magic, belonging, and self-construction among gay men in ritual life.

It is one of the clearest co-authored entries in the archive and helps show the collaborative dimension of the Montreal Pagan research line. The journal-hosted PDF is open access and the licensing notes indicate CC BY-NC 4.0.
