FROM THE EDITOR

Happy fall, y’all! I’m one of those all-year-round Halloween people, someone who stays stocked on pumpkin spice and considers Halloween decorations home decor. I know technically, summer is the season of Pride, but because I love fall so much, I always feel especially connected to my queer community during spooky season.

This is the time that alt drag performers and “alternative” queer folks really feel we can shine and fit in. We all start to settle in for cold weather, warm sweaters, coffee drinks and looking at fall leaves, and there’s just something so magical about it. It’s no wonder that our ancestors thought this time of year and the change of the seasons has a certain magic to it.

In this issue, we honor the witchy and the spiritual through photos and a deeper look at magical practice, and we also embrace some other very valid forms of magic: yoga and healing, anti-racism work, music and community, and a love for horror and the macabre. So, without further ado, we present you with the Queer Magic issue. Stay magic, and enjoy the fall!

OFM News:

Voters in Denver and Colorado Springs already elected their mayors this year, which might have some thinking that their civic duties have been fulfilled for the year. But before you put electoral politics behind you and immediately start to forget the names of all the officials you elected to office, don’t forget that November 7 is still election day in Colorado, with some important measures on the ballot and a number of important races around the state. We’re running down some of the big races and what they mean for Coloradans.

Proposition HH – Property Taxes vs. TABOR (Taxpayer Bill of Rights)

There are two measures on the ballot all across the state, Propositions HH and II, and they’re pretty easy to understand once you get past all the really dry language in the measure. Essentially what HH would do is reduce future increases in property taxes for at least 10 years. This wouldn’t lower current property taxes, but simply allow for smaller increases.

The measure would also allow the state to keep TABOR refunds for 10 years, with the option of extending that beyond 10 years without further voter approval. What is TABOR exactly, you ask? While it may sound like a species from Star Trek, it’s actually an acronym that stands for Taxpayer Bill of Rights. The Taxpayer Bill of Rights was a 1992 constitutional amendment that requires voters to approve tax increases in the state, but also puts a cap on government growth and spending, with any money collected above the cap being refunded to taxpayers. One way or another, Colorado taxpayers are getting money back, but if HH passes it will eliminate income brackets and give everybody the same refund amount. If HH fails, refunds will be tied to income brackets, with those making more money getting bigger refunds.

Proposition II – Retain Nicotine Tax Revenue Because of 2020 Underestimate

Okay, if Proposition HH was a bit much to wrap your head around, you can relax because II is even easier to understand. In 2020, voters approved Proposition EE which increased nicotine and tobacco taxes to fund a program

called universal preschool that provides state-sponsored preschool education for children. However, much like everyone in 2020 vastly underestimated how long the pandemic was going to last, lawmakers in 2020 vastly underestimated how much money Proposition EE would bring in for universal preschool.

The state brought in an additional $23.65 million, proving that a tax on poisoning yourself is more lucrative than expected. But the state isn’t allowed to keep that extra money without voter approval. If Proposition II passes, the state gets to keep that extra revenue. If Proposition II fails, the money goes back to the wholesalers and distributors, and the tax on nicotine and tobacco would go down next year. While that would mean cheaper cigarettes in the future, it would also put more money back into the pockets of the people selling you those cigarettes and, really, who wants that?

Boulder Mayoral Race

Traditionally, Boulder, Colorado has never had direct elections for mayor, choosing instead to have the city council elect the mayor, which is only a slightly more sophisticated system than letting a monkey throw darts at a dartboard. However, after a 2020 ballot measure in the general election, the mayor will not only be elected by the people this election, but they’ll be elected by rankedchoice voting, making Boulder one of the first test cases for it in the state.

The race is down to four candidates: incumbent Aaron Brockett and challengers Nicole Speer, Bob Yates, and Paul Tweedlie. LGBTQ+ issues haven’t come up for most of the candidates, as Boulder is Colorado’s most notoriously hippy-dippy city to begin with, but one candidate seems to want to make sure LGBTQ+ issues are at the front and center of her campaign. Nicole Speer—a member of the Boulder City Council and the Director of Research Services for the University of Colorado brain imaging research facility—has a bisexual pride flag as the background of her official campaign logo.

Naturally you shouldn’t be voting for someone just because they’re queer, unless of course you’re voting on who should win Dancing With the Stars, in which case you were fully justified in voting 500 times for Shangela. But in this race, there’s not a ton to differentiate the candidates from each other. Brockett, Speer, and Yates all cite affordable housing, homelessness, and mental health as top priorities. So if Speer being bisexual is what makes her stand out to you, that might be understandable.

Aurora Mayoral Race

Aurora decides between three candidates for mayor, as a ballot measure known as the “strong mayor” failed to make it to the ballot. While “strong mayor” sounds like a fun idea for a weightlifting contest for city mayors, what the initiative actually would have done is give more power to the mayor’s office,

highly criticized for lack of transparency and a level of infighting that makes the United States Congress look like a bastion of civility and teamwork. Much of the controversy surrounds a series of three shootings at Denver East High School this past school year, the latest being last March when a student shot two administrators and then died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Candidates are up for election in Districts 1 and 5, and there’s also an At Large seat up for grabs. Paul Ballenger is one of the candidates for the At Large seat, and it’s pretty obvious what his solution is for the student safety problem considering he penned an opinion piece for the Westword in which he criticized school board members for not being receptive to having armed police officers on campuses. But while Ballenger would have you believe that there’s an overwhelming majority calling for School Resource Officers (SROs) while the school board blithely ignores their pleas, the reality of the situation is much more nuanced.

Study after study finds that SROs don’t do much, if anything, to prevent school shootings, and the school board unanimously voted in 2020 to remove SROs from Denver schools based on findings that the majority of students being ticketed or arrested were minority students. Considering that, as of late, it’s been difficult to get the entire school board to unanimously

agree that it gets dark at night, a unanimous vote should probably be a sign that action was necessary.

One of Ballenger’s opponents, Brittni Johnson, has a very different plan for school safety, as her website touts a plan of gun violence prevention and “safety though equity,” focusing on ensuring access to comprehensive mental health resources, aiming to meet the national guideline of one mental health specialist for every 250 students, as well as an alternate responder system to give students in crisis access to mental health professionals. While it’s important to remember that some consider mental illness a “scapegoat” used after mass shootings to direct attention away from gun reform, focusing on getting young people mental health can hardly be a negative, and it seems like a better idea than filling schools with more police officers when there’s little evidence that they’re helpful.

Urban Sanctuary: Dismantling Racism with Movement in Five Points

by Julie River

The process of anti-racism has to start, not in the mind, but in the body. At least, that’s how Ali Duncan and Dameda JoLynn Finney see it. Ali started Urban Sanctuary six years ago, and now Duncan and Finney work together to marry the seemingly disparate concepts of wellness and anti-racism. Urban Sanctuary was created with the intention to help change the ways in which Black and Brown people are underrepresented in yoga spaces, and now, the pair have used their space to spread their particular ideas about anti-racism in the community.

OFM got the opportunity to speak to Duncan and Finney about their work and how anti-racism finds a place in the practice of yoga.

How did Urban Sanctuary start?

Ali Duncan: I opened it six years ago; this will be my sixth year. And it was focused to support the BIPOC community and the LGBTQIA community, so a safe space for them to be on their mats. We offer special classes for free for the BIPOC community and for the LGBTQIA community. And we're just looking to continue to expand, and to do what we already do, and to reach more people. So that's Urban Sanctuary.

And how did you get to that? What was your background before that?

AD: I was a police officer for 10 years. And I went to India and studied yoga, and then I came back. I was born and raised in Fort Collins and practiced yoga (there), and I was the only Black person on my mat. And then I quit the PD and I came to Denver, and I thought it would be different, and it was not. And my oldest daughter's queer, so her and I talked, and we got together, and Urban Sanctuary was created. And we built it out. So she felt included being a Black, queer woman. And yeah, that's how it all started.

Tell me a little bit about your anti-racism work and how that connects to Urban Sanctuary.

Dameda JoLynn Finney: I've been working inside of anti-racism work for, oh, my whole life really, but coming to understand what that meant in the last probably three or four years. In the spaces that I was holding, what I was noticing is that a lot of the times what white-bodied people wanted to do when we're talking about anti-racism work is

to get into the intellectual mind and try to think their way through situations, in other words, really thinking their way through the discomfort that was coming up in their body around the topic of racism, and any systems of oppression, but specifically racism.

And so, when I met Ali and really (started) getting to be a part of her community and understanding what she offers energetically through wellness, it felt like it was just a perfect relationship. In order to really do this anti-racism work, it is important that we get into the body. We store our trauma in our nervous system. And so by partnering with Urban Sanctuary, it just made the most sense to really get into the core of the work that we need to do in order to dismantle racism.

AD: When we talk about yoga and practicing yoga, you have to be inclusive on all levels. So even though we're on the mat, we're flowing; we're moving, just understanding that that practice does not come from white bodies. It actually comes from Africa, then to India, and then it was westernized.

For everyday yoga, too, there's micro/macro aggressions. I think they're all (things) that people do, and they don't even know that they're doing it when they roll their mat out next to someone who has a different skin color. So it's just allowing those people to be really mindful about what's going on in the mind, as they are in a space where we all are one. So it's just allowing the white-bodied humans to check in with themselves and see how they show up and start to make those shifts.

DJF: Walking into a studio where there's a Black-bodied teacher in the room and a white body walks in the space, it's a different way to be because we're typically walking into yoga spaces where you typically see a white-bodied teacher at the front of

the room. And so it feels like the norm. And I think that's one of the things that I love about that, too, is white-bodied people getting to have that experience of walking in and seeing that there is a Black-bodied teacher, and what that really feels like and what is going on in their bodies during that class, the thoughts that they're having around being taught by someone that looks different. And that's our norm as Black and Brown bodies is that we're used to walking into the room and seeing somebody that looks different than us. So it reverses the role. And we hold the space for that, which is really beautiful.

So where do you take this anti-racism work? Do you present your work elsewhere?

DJF: Really anywhere. I've done it in the corporate spaces, yoga spaces, one-on-one, just with individuals wanting to really expand their knowledge inside of anti-racism work and understand how it impacts them and how they, as white bodies, have been complicit in the white supremacist system. So anywhere and everywhere, please, and thank you.

One thing I found very interesting in your materials here is you are differentiating between the idea of DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) and anti-racism. Can you talk about that difference and why that's important?

DJF: DEI has become a buzzword. And a lot of corporations use diversity, equity, and inclusion work to simply check a box so that they can say, “Yes, we have a committee that does DEI. Yes, we are proponents of DEI work.” But (they're) not really understanding what that means on the surface. Yes, you can have your policies and procedures and your systems in place. But do you really understand why those procedures, policies, and systems are in place?

And so the embodied antiracism approach, which is really more internal, so you're doing the work individually on an individual level. You really get to understand, why do I need to start putting these policies, procedures, and practices into place? And so there's a deep understanding of the purpose of why those even need to be looked at in a different way. And so that's really the difference.

One I feel is more a face for a checking the box sort of thing, and then the embodied anti-racism is really getting into the heart of the work. And so you work with the individual, both on the individual level, and then also as an individual within those systems. And (you) start seeing the racial disparities, you see the discrimination, you start seeing all of the things within the systems when you start doing this work on your own.

Witch Craft 101: How to Practice for Beginners

by Brynne Popp

For witchcraft beginners, here is one of my favorite spell jars to start with. A projection jar can be kept in your own home, gifted to a loved one, kept in your car or workspace. It is important to remember that variations of spells come and go as you begin to work with your own practices and learn about what resonates best with you. These are some of my favorite herbs and things I like to put in my protection jars, but work with what you have in your kitchen or backyard. It doesn’t have to be fancy as long you put your intentions clearly into your practice.

Protection Spell Jar

Items needed: A jar, incense, a black candle, small pieces of white quartz or obsidian, any of the following herbs.

Herbs: Rosemary, eggshells, pink salt, bay leaf, star anise, cloves, echinacea, mugwort, dandelion root, lavender, rose bud, chamomile. Many of these herbs provide protection, banish negative energy, protect your own energy, provide psychic protection and healing.

Start by cleansing your space with incense or other tools. Cleanse the jar you have chosen with the incense and set your intention before you begin.

I like to add items (if you have them) such as small pieces of clear quartz or obsidian to strengthen the herbal energy.

Add your herbs. There is no correct amount you need to add, and you don't need every single item listed.

If you have a bay leaf, you can further your intention by writing it down, writing the person’s name you wish to protect, or simply just writing something like “protection” further encapsulates your energy into the spell.

Once you have added all the components to the jar, you need to seal the energy inside. Sealing a spell is very important, as it binds the spell and protects it from being altered without your permission. Take a black candle and light it. Once the wax starts to melt, let it melt and drip down over the top and sides of your candle.

You can carve an initial or sigil in the top of the wax for added protection and intention.

Place the spell in your home or area you wish to protect. Spell jars can also be worn to take the intention and energy with you.

Spell Variation

If you don’t have any of these tools, don’t stress! For a more simple protection spell, take a black or white candle and carve a name or your intention into the side of the candle. Light the candle, and let it melt, giving energy to your intentions of protection.

Bonnie and the Mere Mortals are Queering Southern Gothic

Southern gothic is a term that can be used to describe storytelling that revolves around dark themes and the American South, such as the plays of Tennessee WIlliams or novels like To Kill a Mockingbird When the term is applied to music, it often means southern, country music with darker themes, bringing up the murkier side of Southern culture with artists like The Dead South or Slim Cessna's Auto Club.

For Bonnie and the Mere Mortals, the term “Southern gothic” is very literal, as they find themselves with one foot in country and the other in goth and shoegaze, all with queer lyrical themes. It’s a creative blending of genres that seems to attract listeners of both the country and gothic persuasions and finds odd connections between the two cultures.

OFM sat down with frontwoman Bonnie Ramone to discuss the contradictions of being a queer person from Appalachia and how that translates into the band’s unique brand of gothic country.

How did you end up starting this project?

I started Bonnie and the Mere Mortals as a personal exploration project. Growing up in Appalachia, I moved schools and went to an art school, and then I went to college; I got out of my sort of small town, and then realized that it wasn't so cool that I was from a rural area. And even growing up there, you hate your hometown and hate everything to do with it, whatever. And I got to a point in my 20s where I was wrestling with my own identity and where I was from and what I liked and had this weird dichotomy of going to goth nights but also falling back in love with people like Gillian Welch and old country music. And I wanted to make something that expressed all of that. And I felt like, if I felt like that, then I'm sure other folks did, too.

You released three singles off this live album. The first one was "Sarah," which really shows off your talent for storytelling. Tell us a little bit about how that song came about.

That song was probably the one that I've had the most trouble (with) and took me the longest to write. It's something that I started writing probably three, four years ago, just trying to get my own feelings out about the town that I grew up in and a mélange of mixed feelings there. Because it's really beautiful; there's all of these hills and hollows and mountains and wildlife and it's so untouched in some ways. And then in other ways, it's suffocating, and there's junk coal everywhere, and people don't have jobs. And I had friends that grew up in hand-me-down modulars from the 50s. There's just so much trouble and judgment and problems there, and it's moving to the city and then feeling homesick for that. It's sort of a mixed bag, you don't know how to feel.

So I think I started writing that song out of the feeling of that. But also from a personal perspective, it was based on a friend that I had, when I was younger, and her story. So it brings in a lot of things: It's about the town itself; it's about my feelings about my home and about this friend that I had. And I wanted to create a really clear picture of it without sugarcoating anything but also creating hope in there.

And then the latest single was "Tennessee," that was originally on the EP. Yeah, that was actually the first song that I wrote for the project at all. So in the middle of my own identity crisis, I wrote that song in the Nashville Airport and Suites Motel, like, in the most stereo typical way possible in Nashville. And it was because I had this yearning to go to a bigger city, to go to Nashville. And when I went there, it really helped me find my own queer identity and my own identity, and I really found the community there that was welcoming to me. And I yearn to be a part of that. So I wrote that song from that perspective, in 2016.

And in the past year, it's taken on a completely, wholly other meaning. And I wanted to rerelease it for that purpose. I've seen a lot of people with everything going on, all the drag bans, and all of the things happening in Tennessee right now, that people just want to give up on that state. I've seen people getting their Tennessee flag tattoos covered and writing it off. And that happens so often with anything to do with Appalachia. One bad thing happens, and everyone's like, "Well, fuck, they all suck anyways." And there's so many amazing BIPOC and queer people and drag performers and trans people in Tennessee that are fighting really hard to reverse this and create progress.

The third single is "Evaline." Is that a true story?

No, "Evaline" is just a story. A lot of queer songs are anthems or about something, like, really major, really big, really dramatic. And I really wanted to write a queer relationship song that was—I guess for lack of a better term—mundane, like, about like the normal things, the anxieties that we experience as people, because queerness isn't all just giant moments. There's normal relationship problems, too. So "Evaline" is about (how) sometimes you don't feel great about yourself, and you might think that you don't deserve your partner. And you have that anxiety that they're too good for (you).

What is it like being a queer person and making your kind of music that's got that Southern element to it as well? I played metal before this for, like, 10 years. And country and R&B are the only genres that I can think of where it's not "female led." Like, if you're in country, and you're a woman, then you just get to be a country musician. You don't have to be a "female-led metal band." Both country and gothic genres tend to have a lot more feminine-led things in them, so, when it comes to that, it's much more comfortable.

But then with the queerness added on top of that, I think when I'm in like country spaces, they just see me like I'm sort of a cartoon character, and I haven't really had to deal with anyone being awful. I've been really lucky, thus far, to not really experience too much hate. And in the goth genre, goth is super gay, always. But honestly, it's been the most enjoyable, community-building, wonderful experience and music that I've that I've had so far.
