Queer Pagan Survival Kit

from $6.00
The Queer Pagan Survival Kit is a collection of tools made to remind, inspire, strengthen and reconnect queer individuals with their unique truths and beauty through the various hardships thrown at them. Holidays can be a particularly hard time for queer individuals to navigate, especially in a society that does not recognize queerness as part of a divine and human experience, and the kit can be especially helpful during such times.

Inside is:

A handmade loose incense in a half-ounce jar, dedicated to the quest of one's own excellence inspired by the god Apollo. Though during Hellenic time it was considered the social norm for men to express sexual and romantic desire for both men and women, many modern Pagans take inspiration from Apollo as a representation of divine queer identity.

A balm to aid in reconnecting and reclaiming the body to the joys of pleasure, dedicated to the god Freyr. Archaeological evidence as well as written accounts of somewhat scandalized historians of the time recount the "effeminate" nature of the priests of Freyr, and many modern Pagans have found in him a powerful and loving ally in embracing the joys of queerness. Though the balm is made of all organic sources, everyone reacts differently to herbs and essential oils so it is recommended to spot test the balm before applying a large amount, and not to apply directly to sensitive areas. Please do not use if one has an almond allergy.

Bath salts to relax the mind, soothe the heart, and remind one of the truth in beauty. Venus is a complex deity who in modern times is often reduced to only matters of romantic and maternal love. To go into all the aspects of Venus is a thesis unto itself. But beauty and harmony in the ancient or "classic" world was not simply about aesthetic pleasure, it was considered a tool to seek deep, almost primordial truths. The Romans understood that while might is powerful the ability to sway the heart was even more so, and it was said that no God could defeat Mars in a fight save Venus, and between them, Venus always won. Venus has been a close ally to many queer Pagans who seek to reconnect with their inner truths, inherent value, and queer beauty.

A candle to aid compassion in the self, aided by the god Antinous. An incredibly loving and compassionate deity, he was deified by his lover Emperor Hadrian after Antinous sacrificed himself to end a severe drought that threatened to end the Roman Empire. Though a gentle presence Antinous inspires great inner strength and resilience for those who come to him making him an ideal deity to aid in taking on compassion which requires both a great deal of bravery and self-knowledge of one's own needs and boundaries.

A talismanic pouch inspired by Sutekh, also known as Set/Seth, to strengthen and protect the power and divinity of individualism. Even in Kemetic society, Sutekh's sexuality was considered strange and Sutekh was a god of all the Ancient Egyptians feared. He is also an incredibly mighty god whose will was so strong he withstands the hypnotic powers of the Chaos Serpent who he fights nightly to protect the journey of the Sun Boat. He is a powerful ally to those who must fight to stay themselves in a world that seeks to destroy what they consider to be those who do not belong. If the user wishes to keep the pouch on their person, such as in their pocket, it is recommended to gently crush the herbal contents first as thistle has very sharp thorns.

Refills of individual items can also be bought separately.
