On Sacred Union, Visibility & Soul Leadership

By Christopher Shaw, Founder Merkaba Church & Merkaba Retreats | Devotee of the Divine Masculine

There is a return happening. Not a coming out—but a coming back. Back to wholeness. Back to visibility. Back to truth.

For centuries, queer mystics were the hidden weavers of the sacred. Shamans. Midwives. Oracles. Temple priests. Lovers of God in all forms. We were erased, exiled, pathologized—but never extinguished. And now, we are remembering.

🔱 My Sacred Yes

When I first sat in ceremony, I came not only to meet God—but to meet the parts of myself I had once buried to survive.

And what I found was this: The Divine doesn’t care who you love—only how fully you love.

I did not need to be “less gay” to be more spiritual.I needed to be more honest. More embodied. More whole.

The day I said yes to the fullness of my queer, mystical nature…Was the day the temple doors blew wide open.

🧡 Aeon & I: Sacred Union as Devotional Practice

When Aeon and I found each other while participating in a Habitual Prosperity mastermind group many months ago, it wasn’t just romantic. It was initiatory.

Our relationship became a living temple:

• A mirror for every shadow.

• A crucible for devotion.

• A sacred seat from which to serve.

We did not “become” spiritual partners. We remembered we already were.

We now lead Merkaba Retreats not just as facilitators, but as sacred union stewards. Two men, in divine masculine love, holding the field for others to awaken.

This is not about being perfect. It’s about being present. It’s about showing that queer love can be holy, grounded, expansive, and profoundly needed on this planet.

🌿 The Queer Mystic Path

The queer mystic is not just a seeker. We are architects of new realities. We carry the blueprint for bridging polarities:— Masculine and feminine— Light and shadow— Silence and song— Heaven and Earth

We’ve walked the edge our entire lives. Now, we walk it consciously. And we walk it for others.

💎 For Those Still Hiding

To the ones who feel too tender to be visible yet—To those who wonder if they can be both spiritual and fully expressed—To those who ache for love, and also fear its fire— You are not alone. You are not too much. You are not late. You are already sacred. You are already woven into the fabric of the temple.

✨ We Rise Together

Queerness is not an identity. It is a frequency. A liberation. A prayer answered by the body.

And when queer mystics return to the circle—The whole temple becomes more radiant.

I’m here. We’re here. And we’re not just healing anymore. We’re leading.

Om Guru Om.
