The One About Gatekeeping

We open our show reflecting on our experiences of Covid and how we are feeling now, post(ish) recovery, how we’re struggling with energy levels and ‘covid brain’. Although for at least one of us, the perimenopause and covid brain are getting harder to separate.

In this episode we explore the difficult issue of gatekeeping in magick, cultural appropriation and something we refer to as ‘key mastery’. As white people, we aim to look at things from the perspective of the people who are actually impacted by some of the issues we talk about in today’s episode. Hopefully by the end listeners will have an understanding of this difficult issue, why it is complicated, perhaps feel inspired to look at the way western magick is practised and maybe undertake a bit of research to learn about its history.

We are supporters, and we do accept our very limited lived experiences. We are absolutely not experts. Where we’ve got things wrong we’d love to hear from our listeners on this topic so we can learn, and be better supporters.

We have an article about key mastery on our website and an article on whether western magick is culturally appropriated.

We also talk about the Simpsons and we mention Homer joining the Stonemasons. Of course, he did not join the Stonemasons. He joined the Stonecutters…how could we forget?! Let’s just say it’s covid brain.
