PantheaCon 2014 was another wonderful thing, and this time I was able to experience it as a coven member and first-degree Wiccan priestess. I had the opportunity to serve in one ritual in this new role as priestess, and was asked to help bless and ground a witch after she completed one ritual and before she began another.
At a ritual for queer deities and deities who are there for queer persons in particular, there was a powerful statement by the priestess who was embodying the Morrighan. She castigated all those who'd thrown trans persons under the bus, excluding us for our gender identities. I wept like I hadn't in a very long time and receieved much blessing as a result, being approached by not only the Morrighan but three other deity figures in that ritual as they reached out to offer me care.
This is also a thing I can share with my gender fluid sencond-born, as they are Pagan/Wiccan as well.
