We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The Black Trans Prayer Book" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

The Black Trans Prayer Book is an interfaith, multi-dimensional, artistic and theological work that collects the stories, poems, prayers, meditation, spells, and incantations of Black Trans & Non-Binary people. Often pushed out of Faith spaces and yet still deeply connected to a historical legacy of spiritual essentiality, Black Trans People face unprecedented amounts of spiritual, physical, and psychological violence. The Black Trans Prayer Book is a tool of healing, and affirmation centered on uplifting Black Trans & Non-Binary people and celebrating our place within faith.What does it mean to have a faith practice that simultaneously challenges white supremacy and transphobia? Where is there a theological framework that centers the most marginalized and creates pathways towards an active spirituality moving alongside social justice? How might a spiritual practice not in tune with these questions cause harm? The #BlackTransPrayerBook, is holding these very questions.

A New Creation Story

Lady Dane Figueroa Edidi


A TEMPLE HYMN TO THE CREATION OF THE UNIVERSE

In the beginning there was God

There was Goddess

There was The Great Spirit

There was Allah

The Universe

The All

The Us


There before there were first days

Before there were first nights

There was the every knowing of being


When Eurynome dances the serpent Orion is born

God created the world that She gave a thousand begotten suns

Yemaya is the Mother of All

The Goddess thought

and so it was


World is being born

The World is being born

The World is being born


And then there was longing

A longing to experience what will be

A longing of knowing what was already known

And from that longing came the first songs of creation

And the portal between thought and possibility opened

And the loud symphonic chorus of being arose into the then


And It is said God said

This is Good


Good as in right

Good as in more than nice

Good as in perfect

Goddess Good

God Good

Good Good

Good


When Grandmother Spider embraces the Sun

God created peace

One day Heaven and Earth can know each other


Yemaya is the Mother of All

The Goddess thought

and so it was


World is being born

The World is being born

The World is being born


And as solar systems sang their hymns

On countless worlds the waters stirred

On one world

A planet

azure

like the first waters

dark

like the first waters

gender-full

like the First Waters


God danced

Her body reverent

His body reflective

Their body the holiness of reverence

The waters in their womb stirring

They gave birth

They were nature


And Nature became their doula


Fate releases stories from their loom

Woven in hope

Spun in promise

Like Grandmothers webs they mirror Stars

The universe sings


The First and Last Breath has a name

Heaven and Earth lay together

Yemaya is the Mother of All

The God thought and so it was


World is being born

The World is being born

The World is being born


Made from starlight

Made from sun

Made from moon beams

Made from twenty-one elements

The Universe clothes your wonder in flesh

Adorns your magic in lifetimes

Divine Hands crafting creation with thoughts


The Underworld has its place

The Heavens have their place

The Ephemeral has its place

The Eternal has its place

The wings of Angels have their place

The tears of God have their place

The laughter of Being has its place

The Green

The Water

The Flame

The Wind

have their place

The Many

The One

have their place


Gender is a construct

Science evolves each Day

The Eternal knows Her name

Yemaya is the Mother of All


The God thought and so it was


World is being born

The World is being born

The World is being born


Pleasure adorns Creation

Defiant

Deep

Splendidly dynamic

Pleasure has their place

Time has her place

Gathering the sacred robes of Fate

Her shoulders have upon them written imagination


She has Gods ear

The Goddess has Gods Ear

They write upon the parchment of time

They write countless versions of seconds


From the Garden they spring

From the Heavens they are given flesh


Star People have you returned again

Star People are you flesh once more

Star People do you hold the mirror to the refrain


World is being born

The World is being born

The World is being born


On the tablet of story the pen of God is writing

The thoughts of God tell a story

The word of God crafts a tale

Thought creates the World

World creates the Word

Word creates the World


Life Death and Rebirth are a cycle

That which cannot die will not die

That which is eternal always is

Yemaya is the Mother of All

Grandmother Spider brings the Sun

Nut and Geb hold the in-between in their embrace


The World is born

We have labored

The World is born

We have given birth

The World is born

We have willed it

The World is born

Divinity has made it so

On creativity and spirituality and curiosity

~ Ahya Simone


I must do honor to my gifts. ~ Patricia Terry-Ross


Preface:

As a creative, one thing I am so fascinated by is the process of creating something from start to finish. I often find myself finishing things and after lamenting and complaining the whole time through, not even sure about the very clear things I did to get to the other side. Im overwhelmed by it all- tensed between listening to the pressures of the external world and heeding my internal voice.


While I believe that every human being is creative, Black trans people who dedicate a huge portion of their lives/careers to their art can find themselves having to balance these tensions more frequently and decisively. Here are a couple of thoughts to meditate on about the creative process with hopes it nourishes you in times of unrest and uncertainty. May these help you always remain true to who you are and who you are becoming.
