This article develops a queer reading of neo-pagan magic that resists simple masculine and feminine opposition. Ritual practice is treated as one way non-binary identity positions can be sustained and made thinkable against heteronormative expectations.

It extends the earlier Wicca and authenticity work by moving more directly into a critique of the binary itself, rather than only tracking how people negotiate within it.

The article is available as an open PDF and the author note identifies Lepage as an independent researcher with a doctorate from UQAM.
