Queer Ancestor Map

A pilgrimage is a journey someone undertakes to gain a deeper awareness of themselves, the world, and their relationship to it. Often those who undertake them hope to experience a personal transformation. These journeys are often to places of significance to the transformation one seeks - a holy place, a shrine, a memorial, places of historic significance.

Below is a map cataloging resting places and associated memorials for folks I've been cataloging on the  White Rose Witching blog  through  Queer Ancestor Spotlights . You can view this as a pilgrimage map of sorts. Over time you might find yourself at one of these locations reflecting on the legacies of those who came before us, who fought to expand our place in the world, and whose work we carry forward.
