Learn how to access your own innate belief system to create a rewarding life that honors your circumstances and experiences. * An explanation of masculine and feminine energy. * Why ethics are important to the Neo-Pagan spiritual path. * Exploration of scientific theory that supports Neo-Pagan theory and practice, including quantum physics. * How Neo-Pagan men can access God and Goddess energy. * An exploration of the definitions of masculinity. * How male Neo-Pagans fit into a spiritual path that is often viewed as Goddess-based. * Using God archetypes to access masculine energy. * Ritual and practical magick in theory and practice. * Adapting ritual and spellcasting to work for you. Simone also examines the practice of Folk Magick and explores how Neo-Pagans can create positive change using magick.

Pagan Britain
Author: Ronald Hutton
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300198582
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 496
Book Description
Britain's pagan past, with its mysterious monuments, atmospheric sites, enigmatic artifacts, bloodthirsty legends, and cryptic inscriptions, is both enthralling and perplexing to a resident of the twenty-first century. In this ambitious and thoroughly up-to-date book, Ronald Hutton reveals the long development, rapid suppression, and enduring cultural significance of paganism, from the Paleolithic Era to the coming of Christianity. He draws on an array of recently discovered evidence and shows how new findings have radically transformed understandings of belief and ritual in Britain before the arrival of organized religion. Setting forth a chronological narrative, Hutton along the way makes side visits to explore specific locations of ancient pagan activity. He includes the well-known sacred sites—Stonehenge, Avebury, Seahenge, Maiden Castle, Anglesey—as well as more obscure locations across the mainland and coastal islands. In tireless pursuit of the elusive “why” of pagan behavior, Hutton astonishes with the breadth of his understanding of Britain’s deep past and inspires with the originality of his insights.

Pagans and Christians in the City
Author: Steven D. Smith
Publisher: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing
ISBN: 1467451487
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 405
Book Description
Traditionalist Christians who oppose same-sex marriage and other cultural developments in the United States wonder why they are being forced to bracket their beliefs in order to participate in public life. This situation is not new, says Steven D. Smith: Christians two thousand years ago faced very similar challenges. Picking up poet T. S. Eliot’s World War II–era thesis that the future of the West would be determined by a contest between Christianity and “modern paganism,” Smith argues in this book that today’s culture wars can be seen as a reprise of the basic antagonism that pitted pagans against Christians in the Roman Empire. Smith’s Pagans and Christians in the City looks at that historical conflict and explores how the same competing ideas continue to clash today. All of us, Smith shows, have much to learn by observing how patterns from ancient history are reemerging in today’s most controversial issues.
