Zeus as a Queer Deity

While often remembered for his authority and countless heterosexual liaisons, Zeus’s mythology also contains deeply queer undertones. Most notably his relationship with Ganymede, a mortal youth taken to Olympus as cupbearer to the gods, reveals ancient cultural dynamics of mentorship, eroticism, and power imbalance. Modern readers might view Zeus as bisexual or pansexual.

Artemis as a Queer Deity

In many readings, “virgin” meant sovereign—unmarried, self-ruled—not sexless. Artemis rejects compulsory coupling and chooses devotion to women, the wild, and her nymph cohort. Modern lenses find her across spectra: lesbian/bi, ace/aro, gender-nonconforming warrior-scholar of the forest. Her queerness is autonomy in action: centering chosen kin, consent, wilderness ethics, and a life beyond domestic scripts.

What we explore in this episode:

• The myth of Loki

• Loki as a queer deity

• Tarot cards that resonate with Loki: The Tower, The Fool, The Magician

The Myth of Loki

Loki is a master of change and contradiction—sometimes a helper to the gods, other times their greatest disruptor. Loki births both chaos and creation, giving life to the eight-legged horse Sleipnir after transforming into a mare. Their children include Hel, Fenrir, and Jörmungandr—each symbolizing endings, rebirth, and the cyclical nature of destruction and renewal.

Loki as a Queer Deity

Loki is a gender-fluid god who embodies both masculine and feminine energies and experiences both roles fully. Loki embodies queerness through shapeshifting and gender fluidity, defying every binary—god and monster, mother and father, destroyer and creator. Through Loki, we see that rebellion, chaos, and humor can all be forms of divine creativity.

What we explore in this episode:

• The myth of Pan

• Pan as a queer deity

• Tarot cards archetypes that resonate with Pan: The Devil, The Fool

The Myth of Pan

Half-man, half-goat, Pan is one of the oldest Greek deities, tied to wilderness, music, fertility, and the kind of untamed joy that refuses to be boxed in. Pan was linked to Dionysus, the god of ecstatic celebration, and often roamed with satyrs and nymphs. Later, Christianity demonized Pan’s image—his horns and hooves reinterpreted as symbols of the Devil.
