Praise
Powerful, necessary, and deeply affirming, The Queer Spirit Worker reminds us that queer people have never existed outside the sacred. Chris Allaun brings spirit work, ancestry, and queer experience together into a path of reclamation that feels both ancient and urgently needed. This is a book for anyone ready to find themselves reflected in the spirits, the ancestors, and the divine.
—Mat Auryn, author of Psychic Witch, Mastering Magick, and The Psychic Art of Tarot
In this book, Chris Allaun invites Queer Spirit workers of all stripes to share their perspectives and experiences toward building a workable and inclusive spiritual practice. Here we are treated to a diverse collection of practices, deities, spirits, and even historical figures who have in some way helped to shape our emerging Queer culture. With a tone that is conversational and down to earth, Allaun offers us a means to create a Queer-centered spiritual practice that is as inclusive as it is potent.
—Storm Faerywolf, author of The Satyr’s Kiss and Claiming the Witchfire
Bold, empowering, and unapologetically queer, The Queer Spirit Worker invites LGBTQ+ readers to reclaim the sacred as a place where they have always belonged. Chris Allaun brings together spirit work, queer ancestors, healing, trance, and magickal practice to create a path rooted in resilience, connection, and personal power. This is a book that celebrates queer spirituality not from the margins, but from its vibrant center.
—Timothy Roderick, author of Wicca: A Year and a Day and The Once Unknown Familiar
There are books that invite you to explore the sacred, and then there are books that hand you a glittering key, kick open the temple doors, and remind you that the divine was never meant to belong exclusively to the patriarchs. The Queer Spirit Worker speaks directly to my heart as a queer, femme-forward individual and witch—someone who has always experienced magic as a place of reclamation, transformation, and unapologetic self-definition. Chris Allaun brings queer gods, ancestors, spirits, and practitioners back into the conversation with tenderness, power, and beautifully necessary defiance. This book understands that healing is not about becoming acceptable to the systems that rejected us; it is about returning to the wild, radiant truth of who we are. With its many queer voices and magical journeys, The Queer Spirit Worker offers comfort, courage, and a radiant invitation to embrace the queer divine and help create a more liberated world—one spell, story, and beautifully rebellious soul at a time.
