I've recently started reading the TransMythology by P. Sufenas Virius Lupus. As I'm going through it I might post my thoughts about it and interpretations. I think it would be cool for future people interested in the Mythos of the Tetrad++ to have multiple points of reference instead of just the book and a few wordpress blogs.

The Roman god Vertumnus had no fixed identity whatsoever; he changed his gender, age, and physical form at will. Vertumnus was the deity of the seasons, change, and the flourishing of plants. There's a play on his name in the Latin verb vertere, which means "to change". An ancient scholar named Servius wrote: "Divine powers are seen to be of each sex, since they are incorporeal and adopt whatever physique they wish." There was considerable discussion about this in antiquity; not everyone agreed with Servius, but there are considerable positive paradigms here to build the foundations of a history of genderfluidity.

Let us not make a procrustean bed of trans issues and force deities of the past onto it, let us instead awaken trans and other gender-variant deities from their own beds! There is no possibility of blasphemy against existing powers and their human followers if the deities in question are our own, and we never have to "take them back," because they have always been ours to begin with!

Resources for Trans and Nonbinary Witches and Pagans

This is the start of a summer-long project I’m taking on to create a substantial list of resources for trans and nonbinary witches and pagans. The same information can also be found here on my blog if that formatting works better for you.

Please take a look at what I already have and let me know if:

You know of something that should be included in one of the existing categories

There’s another category that you would like to see included on the resource page

There’s some reason that a resource should be taken down such as Inactivity or bigoted language

Something is in an incorrect category

I’m doing my best to gather and screen resources, but this is the sort of project that’s hard to do without community involvement. I will also be posting updated lists throughout the summer as well as updating the list on my resource page so please feel free to check in and see if new resources should be added.

Thanks for your help and I hope you find this list useful 💙

The first day of the Trans Rite of Elevation. The altar is set with candle, water, crystals, and seashells. I surround it with crystal point and grounding stones like onyx and haematite because the altar is in the bedroom, which I share with Blonde Bastard and so I can't have it 'leaking'. I am using rose quartz, amethyst, and sodalite as offering crystals, as well as gathered sea shells from the local beach as a reminder everyone is family and no one is truly alone (The Sea is our Mother).

It is elevated today with "All-Soul, All-Body, All-Love, All-Power: A TransMythology", the first epic poem about he birth of the Tetrad++, deities I work with who are all trans and/or genderqueer and whom I call upon to help in the rite.

I saw your post about trans paganism books. Any that you reccomend?

Gender and Transgender in Modern Paganism by Circle of Cerridwen press is a collection of short essays, stories, and poems by trans pagans (mostly trans women) and has some really interesting stuff in it.

Casting a Queer Circle: Non-binary Witchcraft by Thista Minai is a book about an alternative queer spiritual tradition called Spectrum Gates, but it also gives some really good explanations about why we do magickal practices in certain ways so that’s pretty cool. 

And then I actually just ordered this one so I haven’t read it yet, but All-Soul, All-Body, All-Love, All-Power: A TransMythology by P. Sufenas Virius Lupus is also supposed to be good.

I’ve also got a list of trans pagan resources here on my trans-pagans blog that includes a book list with some ore generally queer pagan books so you might find that useful.

Hope that helps!
