   Magical Futures

   Today, tech-savvy magical practitioners are creating, remixing, and merging ideas, tools, and practices that are decidedly digital. LEDs instead of candles, Tarot apps instead of paper cards, VR rooms instead of temples – some practitioners are using digital tools to replace or supplement physical ones. And when practitioners interact with an AI as a spirit, they challenge conventional understandings of both the spiritual and the material — and reveal how we think about both. Featuring Alya Lux and Dr. Damien P. Williams.

   Teen Witch

   Sabrina, Willow, Thomasin, Queenie – many of us have a favorite teen witch from film or television. The teenage witch archetype has changed over the decades, from a silly materialist bobby soxer, to a raging force of rebellious autonomy. But until very recently, the teen witch has almost always been presented as middle-class, female, and white. And while media depictions of witches have inspired Seekers of the magical and sorcerous – the world of actual teen witches is still very much shrouded in mystery. Featuring Miranda Corcoran, Addy Ebrahimy, Heather Greene, and Susan Ridgely.
