This candle is a spell to claim your sacred queerness with fierce joy and initiate your unique practice of queer devotion. Inspired by genderqueer Aphrodite, goddess of love, passion, beauty, and war, this candle celebrates queer love and gender-affirming beauty, protects and empowers your innate queer divinity, uplifts resilient queer and trans joy, and supports connection to the Queer Divine. Rose and geranium open the heart; yarrow protects and heals, and bergamot empowers your queer magic. Rock rose fortifies queer strength and resilience while opening spiritual connection, and cypress calls in queer and trans ancestral connection. Black pepper affirms your individuality, protects, and adds a kick of passionate spice. Queer devotion begins with revering the sacred queerness in yourself, because your queer soul is a spark of the Divine. Let this candle affirm the sacred truth of your queer soul. Light the candle, close your eyes, and say, “I claim my queerness with fierce joy and expansive love. Queer is sacred, and I am Queer!” This candle is perfect to use in connection with the Queer Self-Initiation Ritual from Queer Devotion. This is a hand poured soy wax candles in a beautiful matte ceramic container, made in collaboration with Charlie Claire Burgess for their 2025 publication Queer Devotion.
