Queer people go through all kinds of unique milestones and rites of passage as we grow into our true selves. Whether you are coming out, attending your first Pride parade, or changing your pronouns, this book will help you enter these rites of passage thoughtfully and spiritually. Explore rituals for taking on a drag persona, hosting a funeral for your deadname, acknowledging chosen family, hosting a polyamorous handfasting, and more. Enhance your rituals with a variety of partners, including deities and community ancestors (such as queer activists and leaders). Featuring a wealth of queer-specific rituals not offered elsewhere, this book helps connect your lived experiences to your magickal practice. Regardless of your skill level or spiritual tradition, Queer Rites makes it simple to commemorate occasions in a way that resonates with your unique and wonderful self. Includes guest ritual writers Storm Faerywolf, Misha Magdalene, Brandon Weston, and Rev. Ron Padrón
