Abstract
Contemporary Paganism portrays gender in an array of different ways and, as such, is very inclusive of sexual diversity. Much if this phenomenon happens through what Pagans call witchcraft. But how does witchcraft help queer and transgender Pagans take part in the Pagan community? This article will examine different kinds of negotiations regarding the notion of gender. It will give a brief definition of the Pagan movement as found in Montreal and examine how the Montreal traditions of Wicca and Reclaiming Witchcraft develop opposite views on gender. This research suggests that queer negotiations dealing with gender norms in Wicca, and in society at large, position participants in different ways in regards to religious and magical practices, as well as to the Montreal Pagan community. Mainly, these negotiations, rooted in the practice of magic, allow the participants to gain power, in terms of gender identity, over the Wiccan binary and, to some extent, to contest gender stereotypes outside the Pagan community.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
