Amphorisode XIV: "The Descent of Inanna"

In Amphorisode XIV, we take the primal descent into the Underworld back to its mythical origins: the Descent of Inanna. Join us for this very special, extended Pride Edition of WGWQ as Dakota tells their favorite myth of all time and it sparks a conversation which covers massive ground from systemic racism and rainbow capitalism to double consciousness and gender nihilism. We laugh, we cry (actually just Dakota but don't mention it), we get deep and we admit the truth: we're all just gay and tired. Plus we finally ask: what do Earth and Water signs actually *do*?

Ep VII: "Infernal Allies"

Ep VII: "Infernal Allies"

Join me as we begin a two-week deep dive into Demonology! Walk on the wild side, tangle with the taboo and fool around with the forbidden as we unmask some of the most surprising elements and origins of the history, mystery and magik of demons! In this episode, I share with you an article I wrote about this topic called "Infernal Allies for the Embattled Femme". This will lay the groundwork for next week's episode on the most infamous spirits who may also be seen as reflections of our identities, especially as the outcast and the heretic.  Be gay, do crime - the gods are always watching!

Ep VI: "Saints & Haints"

Ep VI: "Saints & Haints"

In this episode we’ll be doing a deep dive into the wide world of ascetics and anchorites, hermits and holy fools, monks and martyrs and the many among their ranks who seemed to live and love just like us. *St. Joan of Arc is an obvious contender for this episode, however we already covered their story in Episode Four: Mulan and His Comrades. And if you start talking queers and saints one of the first hits you’ll get are Sts. Sergius and Bacchus, however they will be covered in an upcoming episode “Warrior Lovers”.

Ep II: "We Were Made For This"

Ep II: "We Were Made For This"

In today's episode we're doing a deep dive on the myths surrounding the creation of humankind and the various genders the gods saw fit to create and the roles they ascribed. First we'll take a look at androgyny and the idea of the third gender in Ancient Greece. Then we'll explore the role the nadleehi played in the Navajo creation epic. After that it's way back to the Fertile Crescent for my favorite myth of all time! Remember: be gay, do crime; the gods are always watching!
