About this listen
Horned gods have influenced the development of many magical traditions. This book explores the deep spiritual and historical roots of these gods, and shares rituals and activities designed to help you get closer to them. From Ancient Greece to the Renaissance, to the contemporary age of witchcraft and ritual magick, horned deities have been honored as gods of nature, sex, fertility, passion, sacrifice, death, and rebirth. The Horned God of the Witches reveals the origins and features of their most common guises - Pan, Cernunnos, Herne, Elen of the Ways, the Green Man, and even the Christian devil.
Whether you are interested in the Wiccan Horned God - a composite of several deities - or in the general topic, you will discover rituals for meeting the powerful deity, adding a spiritual charge to your lovemaking, and receiving the gifts of the Witch Father. Author Jason Mankey also includes an in-depth guided meditation for connecting with the Green Man, tips for setting up a devotional altar, directions for the kiss of the eight-pointed star, and much more. Designed to be useful for beginners as well as for those who already have an active devotional practice, this book shares fascinating perspectives and practices that will help you achieve your spiritual and magical goals.

Disappointment
This book was a huge disappoinment to me. I don't even know where to start.
However, if you are a witch and have a twitter account unironically, ignore the rest. The book is for you.
First of all, author is obsessed with phalluses and maybe instead of mentioning it every sentence and fixating either on his own complexes or on what he believes is the mainest of the main aspects of the Horned God.
Secondly, in the beginning I believed it could be at least a good intro for novices but nope. If the author doesn't tell his exciting life story, he feeds snippets of misinformation mixed with very very very general stuff. Or maybe this is how they teach mythology in America. It gives me sketchy vibes, all these "versions of the myth" he pulls out of nowhere.
Thirdly, the author straight up APOLOGIZES for book being "European-centric". Dude, you're American. You shouldn't be projecting your american guilt on Europeans for having cooler mythology and much better attitude among magic practitioners.
Cherry on top - the narration. Hearing someone ranting about penises in his news host voice was hilarious and memeable...but only for the first chapter. The narrator should have read the room better.
I probably check the rituals and drop the book for more academical sources.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
