Enter "Queer Saints!" | Magic, Miracles & Modern Intercession with Antonio Pagliarulo (author)
Saints aren’t marble statues or unreachable holy figures to us. They’re people, and that single shift changes everything, especially if you’ve ever felt like spiritual tradition wasn’t built for you. We’re joined by Antonio Pagliarulo, author of Queer Saints: A Radical Guide to Magic, Miracles, and Modern Intercession and The Evil Eye, to talk about how saint magic can be inclusive, practical, and deeply healing for queer people and allies alike.
We dive into how Antonio pairs saints with tarot cards and why tarot works as more than divination. It becomes a living tool for spellwork, clarity, and relationship building with spiritual allies, whether you’re working with traditional Catholic saints or modern folk saints like artists, activists, writers, and caretakers. We also explore what it means to let saints “show up,” how signs and synchronicities can feel unmistakably personal, and why you don’t need institutional permission to begin.
Modern intercession: approaching the altar from worthiness instead of shame. We talk through the difference between prayer and spellwork, then get hands-on with three cornerstones of saint magic Antonio returns to: petitions, candle spells, and a sacred satchel you can carry as ongoing support. If you’re looking for grounded queer spirituality, practical folk magic, and a path that welcomes questioning, this conversation opens the door.
