About this audiobook
A liberating exploration of the queer divine in deities and figures of myth and legend that opens pathways for LGBTQIA+ people to revere the divinity within and create an affirming spiritual practice.
Queer people have always existed and queerness has always been divine. Queer Devotion, by tarot teacher and deck creator Charlie Claire Burgess, reminds us of this by re-examining sacred stories through a queer and gender expansive lens. With exercises, reflection prompts, and ritual suggestions, readers can discover a deeper spiritual relationship with themselves and the divine and begin building an affirming personal practice of self-defined queer devotion.
From gay Greek gods to genderfluid Norse ones, from transgender Catholic saints to queer Arthurian legends, Queer Devotion reveals that spirituality has always been far queerer than we’ve been led to believe. In the beginning, the gods were queer—and they still are.
