  • On a black wrought iron fence, a sprig of flowers is taped next to a handwritten sign on purple posterboard: "Trans energy is sacred energy"
    Trans joy trans joy is bigger than the struggle, louder than the hate, more enduring than fear.

  • A wooden footbridge, with a railing on the right side but not the left, leads into a forest with a mix of firs and leafy trees. Our viewpoint is as if we were standing on the bridge as it reaches the end of a small ravine, and we see the bridge continue as a boardwalk that disappears into the woods.
    We won’t know how the story ends until we get there, but we can decide what words we use to write those stories.

  • A baby with brown skin looks directly with wide eyes at the camera while being held by a woman with brown skin and black hair, wearing a white sweater with two blue stripes around the upper arm. The woman is turned partly away from us, so that what is visible to us is her right shoulder, part of her back, and the right side of her face. Her eyes are closed and her mouth is in a gentle smile. The baby looks at us over her shoulder with an expression of excitement and curiosity.
    Beloved Child — May you know great love; may you feel deep joy; may you understand the work of justice and the light of truth.

  • In a kitchen, a child sits on top of a counter, facing their mother who holds a coffee cup. She's bending towards the child to press her forehead and nose against theirs. They're both smiling affectionately.
    Joy arises like a gift, beyond my own deserving.

  • In a darkened room, a chalice glows on a desk, with six crayons arranged around it like the rays of the sun. The light from the chalice illuminates several objects on the desk, including a small framed “children’s version” of the seven principles, a polished spherical crystal, a LEGO figurine of a person in a jumpsuit, a flat white-and-silver dove ornament, several books, and a jar with stalks of dried lavender.
    Meet me in the heartbeat between what has been and what will be; meet me in the flicker of our eternal flame. We need not face this moment alone.

  • A close-up of an outstretched brown-skinned hand, with salt slipping between the fingers and pouring down in a stream. The salt is brightly lit, and stands out clearly from the black background of the photo.

  • Rays of sunlight stream down through a break in the cloudy sky, showing green plants and trees on mountains that otherwise look dark.
    Let beauty in. Let beauty in like waves lapping on the shore, covering the beach and soaking the sand like an embrace.

  • A grassy meadow with purple flowers under a starry sky showing the Milky Way. The entire top half of the image is the night sky. Between the sky and the meadow, we see the silhouettes of the hills surrounding the meadow, with a soft glowing light behind them.
    In neo-Pagan traditions, we recognize five elements: Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Spirit. We call on these Elements to help us in a variety of ways…

  • Two fireworks exploding in a deep black sky. The two explosions each take the shape of a dandelion, with streaks of white light coming out of a colorful center. The firework on the left is pale green, with red at the center; the one on the right ranges from yellow in the center to red and purple at the edges.
    Rejoice! May this time of worship celebrate what we know at our core.

  • A close-up photo of one cosmos flower in a group of several. The flower’s striated petals are mostly violet, but are a deeper reddish purple near the many yellow stamens in the flower’s center.
    Ours is the work of creation. Ours is the work of inviting people into an irresistible movement, rooted in our belief that a new world is possible. And the center of our work is love, and joy, and the spirit of abundance.
