My personal Alternative Hail Mary Prayer:
In Traditional Latin and English.
---english
Hail Mary, full of Grace.
Thy Devotees are with you.
Blessed art thou among Women, and Blessed is the fruit of your Womb.
Hail Mary, mother of all,
help us now,
and at the hour of our death,
Queen of Heaven guard us from harm.
----latin
Ave Maria, gratia plena, devotus tuus tecum .
Benedicta tu in mulieribus, et benedictus fructus ventris tui.
Ave Maria, Mater omnium nostrum,
adiuva nos nunc
et in hora mortis nostrae.
Regina caeli, ab iniuria nos custodi.
Hope someone has benefited from this knowing you can *change traditional Catholic prayers to fit Paganism, Gnosticism or Folk Catholicism!*

The new issue of the Crónicas de la Diversidad contains stories from the LGBT+ fantasy writing workshop I gave in January, and an introduction by me. This is the fruit of long work with the community, and of course an example of all the talent and creativity of the people who participated. It's also the 10th aniversary edition and includes an interview with award winning comic artist Unicornio Azul.
