Book Description
Nikki Dorakis (1954-2013) was a Pagan Priest and an ordained Minister of the Church of Spiritual Humanism. Concerned with what he saw as a lack of spiritual guidance and the effect of modern societal changes on the male psyche, he began to explore the role of a Pagan Rite of Passage for young men and how this could be used to develop positive attitudes, qualities and attributes to the benefit of the individual, their community, and society as a whole. This unique text is drawn from his years of experience as an occultist, his own faith and the teachings of various spiritual seekers he met during extensive travels undertaken throughout his life. The text gives in-depth instructions on how to perform such Rites, but also explores what it really means to be a man; stripping away the stereotypes of male aggression and dominance, and discusses how a pagan rite of passage combined with the development of an ethical code can enable men to embrace and develop their multifaceted nature to stand within their own power and play a fulfilling role within society, to the benefit of all.

Garbed in Green
Author: Casey Giovinco
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780999871911
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 158
Book Description
Garbed In Green is a thought-provoking guide that helps Gay men reclaim their rightful place as magical workers. This brief but comprehensive work draws on research from various fields (including anthropology, history, and psychology) to help reclaim the Male Mysteries for the modern Gay witch. It reveals the core spiritual truth that Gay men were prized as magical workers, shamanic figures, and priests for our ancestors, and it argues that most of the pain and "damage" experienced by the modern Gay Community can be healed if Gay men re-embrace their natural spiritual gifts. While this book is written with the Gay male witch in mind, its wisdom is not limited to Gay men. Whether you are a Straight man, the High Priest or High Priestess of a coven, or you're simply someone who takes an interest in the male polarity within your magical and spiritual practices, Garbed In Green can help you connect with those energies on a deeper level.

Mysteries of Sex
Author: Mary P. Ryan
Publisher: Univ of North Carolina Press
ISBN: 0807876682
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 445
Book Description
In a sweeping synthesis of American history, Mary Ryan demonstrates how the meaning of male and female has evolved, changed, and varied over a span of 500 years and across major social and ethnic boundaries. She traces how, at select moments in history, perceptions of sex difference were translated into complex and mutable patterns for differentiating women and men. How those distinctions were drawn and redrawn affected the course of American history more generally. Ryan recounts the construction of a modern gender regime that sharply divided male from female and created modes of exclusion and inequity. The divide between male and female blurred in the twentieth century, as women entered the public domain, massed in the labor force, and revolutionized private life. This transformation in gender history serves as a backdrop for seven chronological chapters, each of which presents a different problem in American history as a quandary of sex. Ryan's bold analysis raises the possibility that perhaps, if understood in their variety and mutability, the differences of sex might lose the sting of inequality.

A Dangerous Wisdom
Author: Shawn Shadow
Publisher: Gay Witchcraft & the Male Myst
ISBN: 9780999871942
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 166
Book Description
A Gay male witch takes a good look at the occult aspects of what makes Gay dating so difficult. All dating is hard, but Gay dating seems to be especially problematic. Like women, Gay men suffer from the fairy tale curse. Unlike women, who only have to play the part of Cinderella, Gay men have to navigate between the roles of both Cinderella and Prince Charming. Cinderella, must focus on pleasing others (even at the expense of her sense of self). The Prince, on the other hand, is raised from birth to believe he is god's gift and that his suitor(s) should be thrilled that he showed up with the glass slipper in hand. This creates a truly cursed situation.Casey Giovinco, the author of Garbed In Green, tackles that very issue in this second book within his Gay Witchcraft & The Male Mystery Series. With the training of an academic philosopher, Casey analyzes the social and political situation that Gay men find themselves in when they embark on the perilous journey of dating each other. Once he identifies the problem as "the desire for Prince Charming," he applies occult wisdom to help his reader identify the part of their own desires that are fueling "the Gay dating curse" within their own love lives, and then, like a fairy godmother sent to rescue us from our lives of drudgery, he helps us cast our spells and work our own witchcraft to overcome the obstacles, which have held us back from finding happiness with each other.If you're a Gay male witch who wants to read a book on witchcraft that is written specifically for you or you want to cast spells that you don't have to translate from the heteronormative language we are all so mired in these days, this book is for you. If you are tired of the drama of Gay dating, this is the book for you. If you just want a good read, this book is for you.

Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages :
Book Description
Celebrating the Male Mysteries is an exploration of the innate stages of male development and potential, with roots found firmly within the Western Esoteric tradition. It describes a series of methods, techniques and hands-on practical work for changing - primarily male - consciousness. The techniques and their forms offer a contemporary way for men to initiate deep inner changes, using means that have stood for centuries within the esoteric traditions.This revised and expanded new edition has been written with the technical, fast-paced - and often illusory - world of the 21st century in mind. Therefore, the in-depth exploration in the book offers fascinating techniques and insights into the transformation of consciousness and associated energies of vital forces, bringing to light some of the secret methods of spiritual and sacromagical initiation which may have become previously obsolete or forgotten. Similarly expanded are discussions on polarity and gender in biology and the subtle bodies.
