I was trying to wait until June to do this, but I couldnāt wait.
As a queer witch,I find it hard to find resources on lgbtq+ magick.Alot of modern day witchery and paganism has a big emphasis on cishetronormativity,so us queer folk often get missed out. So I have decided to compile a list of lgbtq+ magick!
- Colour Magick
This oneās quite simple. Pride flags are a huge part of lgbtq+ culture,so exploring how the different colours can be used for spells is a good way to combine magick and queerness. - Symbols
Alot of lgbtq+ identities have corresponding symbols to them,such as the venus symbol for w/nblw or the mars symbol for m/nblm. See how you can combine alchemical/planetary symbols and pride. - Honour an lgbtq+ deity
Apollo,Dionysus,Isis,Seth etc all have a few lgbtq+ myths surrounding them. Check out this article for more information on lgbtq+ deities Make an offering to one or more of these deities. Ask them to keep all queer folk safe. - Honour a deity of love
Aphrodite,Eros,Hathor etc. Honour them, ask for their blessing on a relationship. Ask them to protect queer folk. - Honour yourself!
Pride is all about loving yourself,so make sure to do that! Take some time to do some self-care. Allow yourself to exist without judgement. - Honour lgbtq+ people from the pastš
This one is inspired by this video from Sam Wise about a queer ancestor altar they created. This is a good one to honour and celerbrate those who helped fight for lgbtq+ rights and those who stood up for themselves.
Other general stuff
