The relationship between sacred kingship and ...

One of the books I’m reading lately is King, Warrior, Magician, Lover by Robert Moore and Doug Gillette. It’s a fascinating book that explores the archetypes of the mature and sacred masculine. This is currently part of the spiritual work that I’m engaged in as I explore my own relationship with masculinity and heal the ancestoral and contemporary wounds that I’m becoming aware of as it relates to how masculinity is treated and perceived in modern times.

One of the aspects I’m exploring in particular is related to sacred kingship and the land. I am in the process of exploring the new city and surrounding areas that I live in. While I’ve lived here for a year, I didn’t have much opportunity until recently to really begin exploring the area and developing a relationship with the land. I find it fitting and useful that part of the process has also involved cultivating a relationship with the land, particularly on the basis of the relationship has with their home and how that relationship plays out in sacromagical work one does in connecting with the land.

Release of The Flowering Rod: Men and Their Role in Paganism by Kenny Klein

Immanion Press/Megalithica Books is pleased to announce the release of its newest nonfiction title, The Flowering Rod: Men and Their Role in Paganism by Kenny Klein! Much is made of women in neopaganism--but what about men? Where are the men's mysteries, and what is their role in modern paganism? These questions and more are addressed in The Flowering Rod: Men and Their Role in Paganism. Out of print and unavailable for almost two decades, this revised and updated edition covers everything from philosophical and theological issues, to ritual practice and elements of neopagan mystery religion, all focused on the male role. Klein, a talented and renowned musician in his own right, intersperses his appealing prose with both original and traditional verse appropriate to the subject matter.
