Sorcellerie, paganisme et communautés 2SLGBTQ+

Semaine de sensibilisation à la diversité sexuelle et à l'égalité des genres · Cégep du Vieux Montréal, Montreal

A public lecture on contemporary paganism as part of broader modern spiritualities, with attention to how 2SLGBTQ+ communities negotiate gender representations, authenticity, and belonging within pagan practice. Paganism's unstructured, individual-meaning-centred character makes it especially available for queer reinterpretation and ritual innovation — a pattern documented across Montreal's pagan community.
