Instructions and Blessing for Drag Queens

drag queen in pink headdress wearing a black and pink ruffled dress
You shall make holy garments
for yourself and your chosen family,
to showcase what the world
wants you to hide away.
Your garments shall mark you
as holy among My people.
 
Your eyeliner and lipstick
adorn you as I am adorned.
Your sequins, rings, and heels
proclaim My majesty.
The slit of your skirt
points to My creative power.
 
As the music begins
and you are illuminated from all sides –
open your lips
and declare My glory.
Sway your hips
and move in My rhythms.
Exalt the Divine within you and around you.
 
The transported crowds, My people,
worship at the altar you tend.
The music, the sweat, the lights –
multi-sensory,
multi-faceted multitudes
melding into My wholeness.
