Myth and Folklore as a gay Christian Witch

     Continuing with my theme of ghost stories that I wanted to read this week I have received another thought about how I can incorporate both of the readings this week into a new account. The man in this story could be changed into a woman. Or the other way around to add an LGBTQ+ twist to the story.         The story would also be interesting if I made the characters go into a spirit realm. I also might be able to utilize some fantasy elements such as a witch that transports the characters into the spirit realm. Maybe the woman chases her lover into the spirit realm to find her and possibly her child. Perhaps it was all a dream is another twist that I could use.

I feel like the boy could be haunted by the ghosts of his ancestors and possibly that he would meet a boy who would understand the transwoman's need to become a woman and would fall in love with him anyway. This would eventually lead to true love's kiss to be shared but possibly with a twist ending. we will see where my thoughts take me when it comes to this story. I may also incoporate some of my reading from the wednesday reading. bibliography: Qalagánguasê, Who Passed to the Land of Ghosts

The hunter was beautiful, and she was hunting for her meal. The hunter’s father called out to her and was calling her home early.  “Julie come home right this instant. We do not have time for you to be out hunting; we need to find you a suitor.” Her father called.  “Coming Father,” Julie said with a sigh. The Owl overheard this conversation and instantly realized that this could be her ticket to becoming a human she just needed to control her power to shapeshift long enough to really get to know the hunter. The hunter’s name stuck out in her mind and would not leave the back of her mind alone. From the creation of the world, the animals that had created them had designed them to be with the same gender, and the owl was not aware that she would be destined to fal...
