Description

“Arguably the most significant book to come out of the mens’ movement of the late 20th century: Celebrating the Male Mysteries goes beyond the shallow psychology that, too often, shaped the movement, to plunge into the deeper realms of spirit and meaning; using exercises from the Western esoteric tradition for that purpose. Its reappearance in a newly revised and expanded edition is cause for rejoicing.” John Michael Greer, author of  The Druid Path and The Way of the Golden Section.

“Around the world many cultures included distinct male and female initiatory traditions. In Celebrating the Male Mysteries R. J. Stewart explores ancient through to contemporary Western ways of understanding male spiritual nature and initiatory dimensions in cultural roles as Warriors, Priests, Poets, Prophets, and Kings. A welcome and vital book…strongly recommended.”  Prof. Arthur Versluis,  author of The Secret History of Western Sexual Mysticism.

” R.J.Stewart expertly reveals how every man can be ennobled by following the pathway of the divine archetypes of Warrior, Poet, Prophet, and Priest. The bright Mysteries that harmonize and rebalance manhood in the light of the gods and goddesses  are within the reach of every human hand” Caitlin Matthews, author of  The Psychic Protection Handbook and Sophia, Goddess of Wisdom.
