“As evident through the pages of this book, Snow holds a vision for
the queer aspirant who hears the call to witchery, to find healing,
empowerment, strength, and pride through their craft. Through creative
and unique journal prompts, introspection, rituals, and spells, Snow
achieves this beautifully, and herein lays the perfect guide for the
queer witch to stand in their power and stand beside others; truly
queering our craft with compassion and pride.” —Mat Auryn, author
of Psychic Witch: A Metaphysical Guide to Meditation, Magick, and
Manifestation Witchcraft has always belonged to the outsiders and
outcasts in society, yet so much of the practice enforces and adheres
to the same hierarchy we face in the world at large—a hierarchy that
isolates and hurts those living beyond society’s binaries and
boundaries. While there are books that address magick for resistance
and queer myth, until now there has not been one that specifically
addresses the practice of queer magick from an LGBTQ+ standpoint.
Queering Your Craft combines queer aesthetic and culture (like DIY
culture and an emphasis on chosen family over formal covens) with
pagan and metaphysical spiritual practice in a way that is commonplace
but has not been written about until now. This book covers the
personal, the collective, and the political, and how deeply
intertwined all three are in a magickal practice for those who are
LGBTQ+. In this introduction to witchcraft, Snow presents why/how each
concept is important to a queer craft, or how to approach it from a
queer mindset. For example, conventional prayer, words, and symbols
have always been problematic in a queer universe: How to make them
work and still be true to yourself? The bulk of the book is about
learning the craft. The latter portion is a grimoire of spells. While
accessible to beginning witches, Queering Your Craft provides new and
inspiring information for longtime practitioners interested in a pure
and personal approach that avoids the baggage of history and
stereotype.
