Gay Witchcraft: Empowering the Tribe by Christopher Penczak

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.
