Gay Witchcraft:
Empowering the Tribe by Christopher Penczak
When Christopher Penczak was introduced to Witchcraft, he found a
spiritual path that honored and embraced his homosexuality. Now he
has written a book of clearheaded theory and practice that is
bound to become a classic. With
Gay Witchcraft, Penczak
joins the ranks of his fore bearers in spirit, gay writers who
have taken a tradition and made it home. This is a complete book
of theory and spiritual practices of Witchcraft for the gay
community. Penczak's writing will make it much easier for gay,
lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people interested in practicing
any form of Witchcraft. Exploring the history of Paganism and
offering a compendium of spells, meditations, ceremonies, and
affirmations that will enrich both the novice and the experienced
practitioner seeking out new views of myth, ritual, and healing.
Gay Witchcraft is a complete manual of Witchcraft for the
gay community, revealing a path that is intimately entwined with
both the heart and history of gay people. For both the
novice and experienced practitioner seeking out new views on myth,
ritual, and healing, Christopher Penczak takes you step-by-step
through dozens of meditations, rituals, spells and celebrations,
awakening the love of the Goddess and God in you. In many
ways, this book could be considered a basic manual for anyone
seeking to learn about Wicca, but
Gay Witchcraft brings
together aspects of both identities in a new alchemy. After
trying these meditations and rituals, you may reclaim the title of
Witch for yourself, or you may simply find Witchcraft as a
stepping stone for your own path, taking what serves you and
building your own tradition.
