21. Gay Angels & Christian Witches

Ramona Martinez is an artist who seeks to reclaim Christianity for misfits, radicals, anarchists, feminists, and outcasts of all types. Growing up, Ramona attended an Anglican church. But when she was around nine years old, that church became a central player in the Episcopal schism. This kicked off an exploration of her spirituality that led to blending magic and Christianity in some really interesting ways. 

We talk about how magic and Christianity have been historically interwoven, how angels have been subverting the gender binary since the beginning of time, the *feeling* when you start practicing magic, how Millennials are unpacking their ancestral generational karma, (not) channeling the voice of Mary Magdalene, magic-ing a significant other, some Tarot 101, Ramona’s New Testament-themed Tarot deck, what’s up with Theosophy, why our generations are attracted to these practices, the fears people have around magic, and more. Plus, Carrie is inviting our first return guest to the Fight Corner!
