Astrology, tarot, witchcraft, and other forms of mysticism have found a strong cultural connection with the LGBTQ+ community. In this video, we explore the relationship between queer identity and spirituality, including why personalized spiritual practices can resonate with LGBTQ+ people who have felt excluded or restricted by traditional religious institutions.
Learn how astrology, tarot, and witchcraft connect with themes of queer identity, autonomy, self-discovery, community, and healing, and why the cultural overlap between mysticism and LGBTQ+ life may be about more than magic.
