This week I am joined by author and speaker Tomás Prower, to discuss his two books whose topics cover LGBTQ spirituality and Death across the global and historically. Tomás wrote both of his books in an anthropological style to carve out space for underrepresented groups who see themselves reflected in our rich human history. We discuss the many ways our queer community members have been visible in history, how they affected our history and how the embraces their own mysticism in spirituality. Looking at this book that deals with death, Tomás invites the reader to get comfortable with the uncomfortable by looking at the rituals of death throughout our civilization and examine the lore of different religions and cultures.  To connect with Tomás, head over to his website and follow him on social media @tomasprower  Queer Magic: LGBT+ Spirituality and Culture from Around the World  Morbid Magic: Death and Spirituality from Around the World   Podcast Production:   Written, directed, and edited by Krista Xiomara Produced by LightCasting Original Music by Mr. Pixie Follow this podcast on Instagram @ianwpodcast
