Though #GalaWitchcraft #witchcraftinitiations focus on cisgender #Gaymen, we are deeply concerned with preserving all of #LGBTQ history and supporting every member of the #Rainbowcommunities. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️⚧️

As a Mohave elder explained to George Devereux: "From the beginning of the world it was meant that there should be #twospirits just as it was instituted that there should be #shamans. They were intended for that purpose.
