#curch

On Christmas Day, one of our transgender sisters was brutally beaten simply because she attended prayers in a homophobic church. What should have been a moment of peace and faith turned into violence and trauma. She is still recovering, and our community is deeply shaken.

Because of this, we—63 queer and transgender refugees—have decided to create our own small, safe church where we can pray without fear, without hatred, and without violence. A place where our identities do not put our lives at risk.

However, we cannot do this alone.

To construct a simple church shelter, we urgently need:

40 iron sheets

200 timbers

10 kg of nails

In addition, our sister who was attacked is still in the hospital. We do not have funds to cover her medical care, food, or basic needs during recovery. Any support toward hospital bills and medication would be life-saving.

We are not asking for luxury—only safety, dignity, and the right to worship without fear.

If you are able to help in any way—through donations, sharing our story, or connecting us to support—we would be endlessly grateful. Your kindness could help us heal, protect lives, and build a space of hope for a persecuted community.

Materials:

1-An incense or candle (preferably black, white or red, depending on your intention).

2- Sea salt or coarse salt (optional). An incense or candle (preferably black, white or red, depending on your intention).

3-A Baphomet symbol or an object of personal power.

Process: Space purification; Light your incense or candle and clean the area with your usual incense to prepare the environment.

Consecration of water; Hold the container of water in your hands and visualize it absorbing bright, powerful energy. If you are using salt, add it while thinking about the purification and protection you want to imbue it with.

Invocation to Baphomet: Connect with the energy of Baphomet through a prayer.

Prayer:

"Oh, Baphomet, symbol of balance and wisdom, Infuse this water with your power and your essence. Let it be a vehicle of protection. May this water be blessed, purified and sacred, capable of protecting, healing and guiding on your behalf. So be it.''
