Firefly Book Club: Queer Saints

In honor of the season where many traditions honor their Beloved Dead, we’ll be reading Queer Saints: A Radical Guide to Magic, Miracles, and Modern Intercession a new book by Anthony Pagliarulo. From Goodreads: “Saints are the powerful, benevolent dead. They remain connected to the living to provide assistance, especially in times of need. Everyone has patron saints, even the marginalized who may feel abandoned and removed from these spiritual traditions. Antonio Pagliarulo, author of The Evil Eye, grew up among Italian immigrants, practitioners of folk magic and saint veneration, in New York City. Pagliarulo, a lifelong lover of saints, seeks to bring their blessings to those who have long felt cut off from these traditions.” Join us on November 7 in celebration of Saints, be they Francis or Dolly. As always, everyone is welcome to attend whether you have time to read the book or not.
