Queer Rites of Passage in Magickal Practice

Join Frederick CUUPS and guest presenter Enfys Book for this transformative workshop! Queer people undergo many unique rites of passage in our journeys to become our authentic selves, from coming out to taking our first dose of hormones to celebrating chosen family. How can we honor these important milestones with a magickal ritual in a way that’s personal, profound, powerful, and affirming? In this workshop, we’ll look at techniques and ideas for potent rite of passage rituals for a wide variety of queer magickal practitioners, and end with a guided meditation for participants to find more ideas to craft their own rituals.
