Antonio Pagliarulo, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Evil Eye\u003c\/i\u003e, grew up among Italian immigrants, practitioners of folk magic and saint veneration. A lifelong lover of saints, he seeks to bring their blessings to those who have long felt cut off from these traditions. \u003ci\u003eQueer Saints\u003c\/i\u003e is not only a compendium of queer people who have lived extraordinary lives, accomplished extraordinary feats, and who now dwell comfortably in the spirit realm; it is also a spiritual gateway that invites you to explore more deeply the power of folk magic and its practices, of co-creation, allyship, and mystical solidarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSaints derive from many spiritual and religious traditions, not just Roman Catholicism. No canonization process is required for folk saints, also known as unofficial saints. Pagliarulo offers readers a wide range of saints that includes the traditional, such as Mary Magdalene, Francis of Assisi, and Hildegard of Bingen, as well as re-envisioned saints specifically for a queer constituency. These include Saint David Bowie, Saint Freddie Mercury, Saint Alexander McQueen, Saint Moms Mabley, and Saint André Leon Talley. Pagliarulo offers practical information on how to venerate them--from building altars to making offerings. Whether queer themselves, or people whose allyship or achievements are embraced by the queer community, queer saints are a new and needed paradigm for those seeking new paths to meaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth a primer on magical practice and a guide to radical transcendence and transformation, \u003ci\u003e Queer Saints\u003c\/i\u003e makes change and self-empowerment accessible to readers of all faiths and belief systems by spotlighting the transformative impact queer saints have had on our world and their burgeoning influence on our spiritual future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAntonio Pagliarulo\u003c\/b\u003e's work has been published by \u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post\u003c\/i\u003e, NBC News, \u003ci\u003eNew York Daily News\u003c\/i\u003e, The Wild Hunt, and Religion News Service.
