0:00.0	All right. Hi, everyone. Welcome to episode 21 of seeking witchcraft. Today I have a super special guest who's going to help me talk about the LGBTQ plus community in the witch world, plus potentially maybe some other fun topics if we have time.
0:19.5	You may have heard his name on a previous
0:21.3	episode where I talked about somebody hitting up an outer court of a friend's coming because of
0:25.3	this podcast, but let me go ahead and introduce the witch, the high priest and the ultimate legend,
0:30.8	Seamus. How's it going? Hey. Do you want to introduce yourself a little bit? Maybe tell us

1:31.1	that he couldn't be in a coven because, quote, unquote, he has a dick.
1:37.1	Oh, my God, I hate when I can't be in a coven because I have a dick.
1:41.0	The worst.
1:42.6	Yeah, when I got that text, I was just like, what are you talking about? But okay.
1:49.0	That's like all of those memes on Instagram that are like, men can be witches too. And I'm like,
1:55.1	that's like saying water's wet. Yeah, that's true. Why is this a message?
