"This is a love story—a love story disguised as a piece of scholarly research."
Source Name: Spirit Marriage
Creator/s: Megan Rose
Years Active: 2022 (adding it despite the "must have been not updated for five years" because... it's a book. It's no longer being revised.)
About: "Megan Rose, Ph.D., examines the practice and purpose of spirit marriage around the world, presenting transcultural evidence of this form of sacred union. [...] She shares her in-depth interviews with ten contemporary practitioners of spirit marriage, including a Faery Seer, a Shakta Tantric, a West African Shrine Keeper, a New Orleans Voodoo Mambo, Haitian Vodou practitioners, and a ceremonial magician," along with her own spirit marriage.
Archives: Available in paper and ebook forms. I have both.
Notes: Hub for a bunch of spirit marriage citations, which has substantial overlap with various forms of spiritual plurality. Heads up for at times dicey discussions involving racism and cultural appropriation. Peoples/faiths involved include Dagara (Burkina Faso), Shakta Tantra (Nepal/South Asia), Haitian Vodou and New Orleans Voodoo, Faery Seership, a USA witch doctor, ceremonial magician, and homebrew.
