"It is incumbent upon us as pagans not to dim the lights of marginalized individuals by asking them to conform in a community that echoes the discrimination and marginalization they already face in day-to-day life. We must celebrate and empower those who need empowerment the most."

I was delighted to receive a gift from my past self in the mail one day: "Queer as Folklore" by Sacha Coward. It's a wonderful dance through multiple eras and mythologies, revealing symbols and stories of queer resilience in the face of oppression. Definitely add it to your TBR stack! https://majorarqueerna.com/exploring-queer-symbolism-in-global-mythology-a-review-of-sacha-cowards-queer-as-folklore/

I've recorded a bunch of podcasts this year. The time I spent with the folks at Mystical Musings was extra-special, though. We talked for a solid two hours (edited down to about 90 minutes) about everything from "Queer Rites" to the state of queerness in the United States to my favorite books in a bunch of different genres to my secret for perfectly-buttered toast.

Lots and lots of recommendations in this one, so give it a listen!

This ritual by Rev. Ron Padrón of White Rose Witching doesn't seek to push anyone to come out before they're ready, but it does help shine a light in the darkness and let them know they're not alone; that they are loved. Please share!
