Rainbow Rising
Spiritual liberation is the missing element in the modern journey of LGBTIQ+ people around the world. Coming out about our sexuality or gender identity results from our need to be true to ourselves, we listen to our souls and from the soul comes the courage to be who we are. The same principle applies to…
FAERIE! Know Thyself! Be Thyself!
Oscar Wilde: ‘Know thyself’ was written over the portal of the antique world. Over the portal of the new world, ‘Be thyself’ shall be written. Harry Hay: Faeries everywhere must begin to stand tall and beautiful in the sun. Faeries must begin to throw off the filthy green frog-skin of Hetero-imitation and discover the lovely…
AIDS Survivors Syndrome
“…the most common features of ASS (AIDS Survivors Syndrome): extreme emotional pain, trauma, and depression; survivor’s guilt and low self-esteem; suicidal ideation; anger, over-guardedness, and chronic anxiety; social isolation; fear of aging; and difficulty envisioning a future.” The media love to focus on suffering: “An entire generation of AIDS survivors is now struggling with a…
‘This House Believes modern LGBTQ+ activism fails its community’
I watched the Cambridge Union debate from May 14th, 2026 on the theme: ‘This House Believes modern LGBTQ+ activism fails its community’. An introduction to me: I read history at Churchill College, Cambridge from 1983-6, coming out of the closet half way through my final year – and still somehow managing to graduate despite spending…
All Acts of Love and Pleasure are THEIR Rituals
I propose it’s time to update the Charge of the Goddess for in humanity there is a desperate need to reconnect to the immaculate Wholeness which exists beyond the gender binary and go beyond the historical definitions of male and female deities. When God was seen as Mother the people saw humanity as her children…
Rainbow Consciousness
When conflicts that arise between the various identities in the LGBTIQ+ spectrum it suits the patriarchal control system well — divide and rule has long been its way. How about we blast away that old pattern, and seek for the deeper reason that we find ourselves walking with Pride under one rainbow. I have been…
Gayness as a Spirit Path
“The sense of gayness as a Spirit path is growing. As we break out of straight mind-bindings we naturally recoil from seeing ourselves and each as either mono-sided homo-sexualists or homo-oriented straights… for many of us come revelations of feminist thought/ practice: we discover women exposing, breaking free of sado-slavery into whirling fiery gyn-ecstacies of…
The Age of The Proud Bottom
Erotic pleasure between males – a totally natural, instinctive, magical thing (that has been going on since humanity’s beginning) – became a taboo in the Greco-Roman warrior age and under Father religions it became a sin. . For centuries the Church said sodomy was one of the worst sins, and associated it with sorcery and…
Here! Queer! Cosmic!
[this blog is also available as a podcast – https://queerspirit.net/blog/podcasts%5D August 2026 brings the tenth anniversary of Queer Spirit Festival, of which I am one of the founders: 10 years of LGBTQ+ people collectively connecting through the heart to community, nature and spirit; breaking the chains of religious bigotry and reclaiming queer nature as part…
Pan
I came across this beautiful description of the divine masculine, in the form of the Horned God Pan, written by Zsuzsanna Budapest, it’s from her 1981 book The Aquarian Holy Book of Women’s Mysteries. WHO IS THE GENTLE GOD PAN? Why is he endowed with hoofs? Why does he wear horns? Why is he naked?…
