Antonio Pagliarulo, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Evil Eye\u003c\/i\u003e, grew up among Italian immigrants, practitioners of folk magic and saint veneration. A lifelong lover of saints, he seeks to bring their blessings to those who have long felt cut off from these traditions. \u003ci\u003eQueer Saints\u003c\/i\u003e is not only a compendium of queer people who have lived extraordinary lives, accomplished extraordinary feats, and who now dwell comfortably in the spirit realm; it is also a spiritual gateway that invites you to explore more deeply the power of folk magic and its practices, of co-creation, allyship, and mystical solidarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSaints derive from many spiritual and religious traditions, not just Roman Catholicism. No canonization process is required for folk saints, also known as unofficial saints. Pagliarulo offers readers a wide range of saints that includes the traditional, such as Mary Magdalene, Francis of Assisi, and Hildegard of Bingen, as well as re-envisioned saints specifically for a queer constituency. These include Saint David Bowie, Saint Freddie Mercury, Saint Alexander McQueen, Saint Moms Mabley, and Saint André Leon Talley. Pagliarulo offers practical information on how to venerate them--from building altars to making offerings. Whether queer themselves, or people whose allyship or achievements are embraced by the queer community, queer saints are a new and needed paradigm for those seeking new paths to meaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth a primer on magical practice and a guide to radical transcendence and transformation, \u003ci\u003e Queer Saints\u003c\/i\u003e makes change and self-empowerment accessible to readers of all faiths and belief systems by spotlighting the transformative impact queer saints have had on our world and their burgeoning influence on our spiritual future.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Weiser Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48515717202169,"sku":"9781578639076","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/1811\/7625\/files\/imageloader_8a9ed724-3bc3-4fe1-963f-956af7f48c02.jpg?v=1781209057","url":"https:\/\/hookeandplotte.com\/products\/queer-saints-a-radical-guide-to-magic-miracles-and-modern-intercession","provider":"Hooke and Plotte Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
