there's too much animosity towards queer people who want to practice their faith/spirituality, both within their respective religions and within the LGBTQIA+ community.

we need to protect and lift up our queer siblings of faith.

our queer Christians.

our queer Jews.

our queer Muslims.

our queer Hindus.

our queer Buddhists.

our queer Sikhs.

our queer Baháʼís.

our queer Wiccans/Pagans.

our queer Shintos.

our queer siblings of indigenous/folk faiths.

our queer SBNR siblings.

our queer siblings of whatever religion/spiritual systems they observe.

you're all beautiful and valid and loved and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. 💖

May the Gods ease your gender dysphoria.

May they bless you with gender euphoria, and supportive friends and family.

May they guide you and help you on the path for your transition, no matter what form that may take.

Prayer to queer people who died in violence

I initially intended to post this during Anthesteria, but then had to kind of sit and think about it for a little. Obviously this is a semi-Hellenic polytheist prayer, but anyone can use it if it resonates <3

May my voice stretch down to the peaceful depths of the Underworld, Where roots embrace the sleeping and soft meadows stretch out, Where Lethe brings forgetfulness and asphodel brings sleep. O beloved queer dead, your eyes were closed too soon, The years that once stretched out before you now stretch out behind. We will never forget you, Nor your lives, nor your dreams. Go and take your well-deserved rests, Far away from danger and hatred. Rest is for the dead, fighting is for the living - We with heartbeats still in our chest will take up our own arms, Thyrsi, kick-lines, bricks, art, voices, And like those restless Furies who seek vengeance, We will go and give chase until the hatred that led to your end is pushed to the end of the earth. In your names do we fight.

Witchcraft isn't about owning expensive crystals or having a fancy altar.

It's about using what is at your immediate disposal as tools to empower your life and shape your present.

When I tell Jesus I’m eating Oranges, He Understands-

That it means the bones in my wrists are getting less prominent. 

That the soft scent of citrus is lingering on my jacket.

He looks at me and laments every time I denied myself the simple pleasure of juice

Running across the lines of my palm;

The peel and rind turned into candy. 

In the morning, I will crave clementines and 

I won’t shake when my nails puncture the vibrant outer peel.

Noon rolls over and I eat an orange.

Night falls and my wrists still smell like citrus.

Night falls and we play the game where I turn good news into confessions;

And I tell you less about the act of eating an orange and more about 

How I thought you would love me more if my breath didn’t smell like fruit.

But tonight I want to go buy a small bag of them,

Turn the netting into jewelry and fill

My body with tangerines that look like setting suns.

When I tell Jesus I’m eating oranges, he understands

Why this lent I will give up nothing, 

And declare God as the smell of citrus

still lingering under my nails.

I posted this a bit ago, but I have a face.

Official Broken Fox Face Reveal.

Not sure if anyone expected anything different, but yep. I've cut my hair since this, but I like this photo. I look like my dad a lot in this picture.

(for anyone who isn't familiar with my page, you can call me Fox, I go by he or they, and I'm an intersex, nonbinary man from Appalachia who talks a lot online about my experiences with trauma, disability, and mental health. My YouTube is currently on hiatus, but I'm on here too much a lot.)

hi tumblr! so, i have a queer friend and he's being bullied, i want to ask to the Gods for protection and strength for him but I'm not sure how to or which deity to ask :( can someone guide me? sorry, I'm still a baby hellenic and everything's so confusing 😭

Witchcraft happens when you add intention to simple every day actions. Having a shower, preparing a meal, making a cup of tea, planting a seed in a flower pot.

I love interreligious relationships so much

I just love the idea of someone you can easily talk with for hours about theology, unafraid of judgement because you already know where your beliefs differ

Plus, an excuse to throw more than one wedding 💕
