hello again friends! i’m excited to share that my artwork “Feygele” & an accompanying poem from my chapbook - together a queer, trans love letter to Jewish demons - is representing the month of Tammuz in the Radical Jewish Calendar for 5781!
as a contributing artist, i was allowed to choose a date in the calendar to mark in a way that felt important to me, so i chose to commemorate the August 3rd co-founding of this blog (and resulting community!) with the amazing @darkhei-noam in 2016. i can barely believe that this blog is 4+ years old - and our Discord server for LGBTQ+ Jews who study and/or practice Jewish magic & mysticism is 2+ years old and more active than ever with 80+ members (if you want an invite, message us)!
i am so grateful to each & every person who has been active here, and i’m especially thankful for @creekfiend & @kuttithevangu who together were a major guiding light on my way back into Judaism through the more marginal & magic aspects of our history. getting to know them & so many more incredible people through them changed my life.
which is a long way to say that “Queerkeit Coven” is printed in a calendar now & all of you should feel proud!
