For this episode in the Wild Witch Series, Anjel share a recording from a presentation on Furry and the Occult at Biggest Little Fur Con, in Reno Nevada this past October with their partner, Triad Fox. In this presentation we discuss the history of anthropomorphic deities and share mythology and iconography of anthropomorphic deities in several pantheons across human history including Khemetic, Vedic and Pre-Christian Europe. We then open up the discussion and invite participants to consider the idea that furry can have a spiritual dimension and discuss ways in which creativity found in the fandom is an expression of divinity. We have included audio from the discussion part as well as the presentation file over on our Patreon for free, so if you are interested in hearing the extended discussion and seeing the artwork of the deities we discussed, check out the Science Witch Podcast on Patreon.

It is important that we acknowledge the fact that Portland, Oregon is located in the traditional homelands of the Multnomah, Wasco, Cowlitz, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Watlala Bands of Chinook, Tualatin Kalapuya, Molalla, and many other indigenous nations who made their homes along the Columbia and Willamette Rivers. It is our intention in recognizing these communities to honor their lives, their legacies, their elders, their descendants, and the vibrancy and importance of their ongoing work—and to stand in solidarity with them at every opportunity.
