What happens when men speak openly about their relationship with the divine feminine?
What shifts when devotion is no longer hidden behind apology, abstraction, or fear?
Men And The Goddess: An Anthology Revisited brings together twenty-two Pagan and Polytheist men writing from lived devotion. These are not theological arguments—they are testimonies. Intimate. Provocative. Reflective. Each essay traces how relationship with the Goddess has shaped magickal practice, identity, healing, sexuality, and sovereignty.
In communities where the Goddess is often framed as corrective to patriarchy, men can struggle to locate themselves without defensiveness or disappearance. This collection refuses both. Instead, it offers complexity: men speaking from vulnerability, from reverence, from transformation.
The essays move across a wide terrain—healing mother wounds, reclaiming tenderness, confronting inherited masculinity, embodying queer sovereignty, deepening ritual life. Some are devotional. Some are disruptive. Together they reveal that the Goddess is not confined by gender, and neither is devotion.
This revised and expanded edition of Finding the Masculine in Goddess’ Spiral, edited by Erick DuPree, includes a new preface by MAT AURYN and a foreword by IVO DOMINGUEZ, JR., situating the work within today’s evolving Pagan and Polytheist landscape. What emerges is both archive and invitation: a record of men kneeling, wrestling, celebrating, and standing in sacred relationship.
This book includes:
• Twenty-two personal essays from Pagan and Polytheist men
• Reflections on healing, magick, queer identity, and ritual practice
