What is Queer Magic?
*
Queer magic doesn't just happen on the Full Moon.

It's not just about driving hundreds of miles out to the woods to
drum and chant wearing glitter and feather boas and flowing rayon
garments.

Queer magic is everything we do.

Whether we're digging a hole, touching a lover, building an altar,
making a website, or dressing for dinner—whatever we do with our
whole hearts is queer magic.

Queer magic drips from our fingers. It's the music that plays as we
move through the world. It's the divine creativity that flows through
us and makes everything we touch burst into beauty.

Queer magic comes from being "othered" in our sexuality and our
gender and our spirituality and our view of the world. It comes from
being told that we're freaks—and deciding for ourselves that's OK.
It makes us turn inside and to each other for guidance, instead of
to the TV and the government and the church.

Queer magic transforms sexuality from something hidden and
shameful into a transcendent force that pulses through our hearts
and out the crowns of our heads. It makes gender into sacred
masquerade, and shows us our divine nature in the mirror of our
beloveds' faces.

It makes us comfortable with transgression and paradox—living
antidotes to conformity and binary dualism. It finds us at home on
the threshold and in the grey areas. It lets us play together in a realm
outside of scarcity stories and hierarchies of dominance.

Queer magic often calls us to certain roles: artist, shaman, clown,
healer, witch, priest, diva. But whatever roles we play—however
flamboyant or modest our style—queer magic means expressing our
authentic selves in everything we do.

It's what makes us unique. It's what makes us human. It's what
makes us queer.
