Puck You! The Crooked Path of Queer Resistance (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

"In the dark recesses of the world, shadowy backrooms, or isolated fens, individuals gather, compelled by the primal and fierce desire that grips them. These meetings occur in places that feel deeply connected to the earth itself, a realm influenced by ancient and elemental forces. Within these hidden locales, a mysterious sort of priesthood emerges-one that seems to be intertwined with the dark essence of the underworld, drawing power from its depths.

"These individuals, akin to otherworldly beings, partake in an enigmatic ritual that involves consuming a strange, sacred substance, a life-giving elixir. Their behavior defies explanation, as if under the influence of a powerful force that transcends normal understanding. Their actions, wild and untamed, reflect a connection to something primal and timeless, leaving outsiders baffled by the intensity of their gatherings and the inexplicable bond that unites them."

"In these pages, you will find wisdom and defiance drawn from the enduring legacy of witches who came before us. This is not just a book-it is a call to action, an invocation of power, and a reminder that magic is, at its core, transformative." -from the foreword by Dave Gaddy, author of The Simple Magick of Wild Things: The Journey of a Southern Male Wytch

In a world where traditional narratives often overlook the experiences of queer men, Puck You! steps onto the crooked path, blending ancient pagan customs and folklore with modern meditations on trauma and resilience. This compelling exploration reveals how the wisdom of our ancestors can offer healing and empowerment in the face of adversity.

Through vivid storytelling and deep cultural analysis, Puck You! uncovers an exciting tapestry of pagan traditions that celebrate identity, community, and survival. Drawing on mythological figures like the ælfe, Anglo-Saxon elves, and Puck, the mischievous spirit of transformation, this book provides a roadmap for queer men to navigate their own path through turbulent times.

Each chapter invites readers to reclaim lost customs, engage with transformative rituals, and harness folklore as a source of strength. By reconnecting with these age-old customs, queer men can find solace in shared mythic histories but also the courage to embrace our spiritual allies.

Puck You! is written as a companion on the witch's path of queer resistance as we journey through resilience toward rebirth. Join the author on an enchanting journey of rediscovery and empowerment, reminding us that magic is all, and survival is an art.
