This resource combine s thorough research\\, hands-on practical exercises\\, and thought-provok ing discussions to help queer witches and allies build a magical practice that is authentic to them.\\nStep into the magic of your own identity an d embark on an affirming spiritual practice.\\nFor thousands of years\\, various cultures around the world have drawn connections between magic\\, spiritual power\\, and LGBTQ+ identity. This guidebook retraces these an cient connections and weaves them into a secular witchcraft practice deep ly rooted in modern queer history and culture. Hands-on practical exercis es and thought-provoking discussions serve as guideposts to help queer wi tches and allies create a spiritual path that is authentic to them\\, no matter how they identify. Topics covered include elemental magic beyond b inary gender\\, queer planetary magic\\, spiritual allies for all identit ies\\, sample holiday rituals\\, and more. Through this work\\, we cast a magic circle inclusive of all bodies and identities.\\nAbout the Author\ \nHailing from the foothills of the Appalachian mountains\\, Sam Wise (sh e/they) is a Reclaiming witch and eclectic pagan with years of experience combining magic\\, activism\\, and queer culture.
