In this episode, Elyse gets real with a bit of a bolder coming out conversation with Enfys J Book, bestselling author of Queer Qabalah and their newest book, Queer Rites. We discuss the importance of rites of passage, almost lost from our modern world, and how important they are to infuse into our magical practices and traditions.
We also go deep on the challenges of cis presenting queer people (Elyse is raising her hand here) and the importance of shining bright even when it feels scary.
Enfys J. Book (they/them) is the author of the Gold COVR award-winning Queer Qabala, co-author (with Ivo Dominguez, Jr.) of Sagittarius Witch, and author of the forthcoming Queer Rites: A Magickal Grimoire to Honor Your Milestones with Pride (Llewellyn, 2025). They are the High Priest of the Fellowship of the Ancient White Stag coven near Washington, DC. Enfys has taught classes on magickal practice around the world. They are also the creator of majorarqueerna.com, a website devoted to queer magickal practice with a focus on Qabala, and host a podcast called "4 Quick Q's: Book Talk with Enfys," where they interview pagan authors using questions determined by a roll of the dice.
