Queer the Way for May and June

Ok, ok. That pun is such a stretch, but we are taking pride (ok, I’ll stop) in our May/June read which is a look back on the Spectrum Gate Mysteries witchcraft tradition and more broadly creating queer systems of witchcraft and paganism when you need to escape the binary that exists in many popular systems.

In May and June, we are reading Casting a Queer Circle by Thista Minai, a book rescued from our long list of books that didn’t win the book club book vote over the last 3 and a half years (wow).

“Many people come to traditional Wicca or Witchcraft seeking the benefits of shared ritual, spiritual community, and formalized training, but the inherent sex and gender binaries that permeate modern Wicca can make anyone who exists outside of that polarity feel unimportant or excluded. Even people who identify within a gender binary but want their spiritual or religious practice to reflect a spectrum of life experiences can feel stifled and smothered in the biases of Wicca-based Paganism.”

Gays, theys, and queer friends, this might just be our hot girl summer read.
