Synopsis

Queerness is a blessing. Reclaim your spiritual practice.In House Of Our Queer, activist and organizer, Bex Mui M. Ed., takes readers on a winding path through her spiritual journey. Raised Catholic— with Buddhist influences from her father and his family— Bex shares the complexities that arise from being queer in religious spaces and shares her journey back to her spiritual roots after years of shutting out faith. Whether you have felt shut out by religion, or have wanted to find your own queer spiritual path, this book is for you.Throughout the text, the author describes her own spiritual practices including energy work, astrology, tarot, ancestor altars, moon rituals, sacred sexuality, and reframed Christian practices and beliefs. Each chapter ends with offerings that readers can incorporate into their own spiritual practice. The author guides and inspires readers to reclaim spiritual practices that work for them.Spiritual practices can help people find stability and community to develop trust in intuitions. Yet, too often, queer people feel that they must sacrifice queerness and pleasure to benefit from everything that spirituality has to offer. House Of Our Queer poses that great change can happen when queerness is held at the center, rather than at the margins of religious experience. Bex Mui creates the foundation for reclaiming faith and spirituality without sacrificing the essential parts o who we are. The text serves as a reminder that queerness is a blessing, and offers tools we can use to honor that truth in our daily lives.

Goodreads review by Charles on November 20, 2024

This is a good introduction book for anyone who has not explored their spirituality after religious abuse, or is early on in their spiritual journey. I didn't find it super useful as someone who already has a strong practice, but there were some tips I enjoyed about creating your own holiday rituals......more

I randomly picked up this book at my local library and enjoyed the read. Many of the spiritual aspects that the writer writes about I was already aware of, but I liked her personal experiences account on the different issues.......more

Goodreads review by Emily on August 26, 2023

A beautifully crafted book that feels like a balm in your hand. Blending personal storytelling with affirmation and ancestral witchy wisdom, House of Our Queer models the ways we can expand our understandings of spirituality. “The spiritual community I need is kind that centers the blessing of queer......more

Goodreads review by Lou on January 27, 2023

I published this book, and am so proud of Bex. She discusses reclaiming spirituality as a peer rather than an authority making the reading experience feel like I'm chatting with a friend rather than reading from the vantage point of an "expert," making a spiritual life as beautiful and supportive as......more
