12: The Importance of Queer and BIPOC Inclusivity w/BanexBramble

Hello and welcome back to another episode of Rosemary by the Bucketful. Today we are joined by a special guest to discuss an important topic-- Queer and BIPOC inclusivity in witchy and occult spaces.

Our guest today is Austin from Bane x Bramble on Instagram. Austin is a traditional witchcraft practitioner and has been practicing for 5+ years. His practice is based in folkloric witchcraft and animism. Austin began his social media page in 2020 as a platform to discuss Witchcraft topics but also to advocate for social justice. He is part of the LGBTQ community and is a outspoken advocate for both LGBTQ and BIPOC communities.

Join us as we open the conversation on this important topic.
