Acknowledgments

There are many people whom I wish to thank for the creation of this book.

My beloved partners: Chas Bogan, Devin Hunter, and Mat Auryn. Thank you for your love and support. You have each listened to me ramble on about queer history, magical theory, sex magic, and ritual, giving me a space to further develop my thoughts. I could not have done this without your help. I couldnt hope for a better queer magical family.

Christopher Penczak, who graciously agreed to write the foreword. In the witch-world, which is often volatile and full of clashing egos, you have been a constant source of friendship, kindness, wisdom, and support. Thank you for being a true friend and brother of the art.

Those who agreed to read parts of my manuscript and offer ideas and notes: Christopher Blackthorn, Michael Cabrera, Christopher Corey, LMFT, Mitchell Diaz, Charles Harrington, Eron Mazza, Christopher Michael, Sky Miles, Steven Morningstar, Grey Townsend, and Marcus Wolf. Thank you for your feedback, your suggestions, and just for letting me bounce my ideas off of you. This has helped more than you know. Thank you for putting up with my constant layout and numbering revisions, as well as my habit of going back several chapters and adding new materials. This was an eye-opening experience for me in terms of my writing process and so I thank you for being a part of it.

Thank you to Vicky Gutirrez, aka Mamma E, for your blessing and for helping me with the entry for your son, Eddy. Thank you for keeping his spirit alive in the magical communities that you serve and for your kind heart and supportive spirit.

To my Beloved Dead of the Craft:

Kalyn, who taught me that being queer in the Craft wasnt something to be merely tolerated but actively celebrated .

Claudia Lorie, with whom I had many over-the-counter chats at the shop, and who first taught me about Asushunamir.

Katy Swan, whose loving heart and creative spirit were infectious and drew many of us together for the work. Thank you for those memories. You were taken too soon.

xii Valerie Walker (Veedub), badass Faery Witch who taught me that it was okay for Witches to go against the grain, and in fact, it was practically expected.

And Eddy Gutirrez, my friend with whom we spent several nights chatting about magic, the Craft, Reiki, spirits, and of course sex, over probably too many pomegranate margaritas. I wish we had more time to know each other in this life. Heres to the next.
