Gay Witchcraft

“Gay Witchcraft is an opportunity for queer Witches to claim our rightful place in our own magical practices without sacrificing who we truly are, as well as just being a solid introductory book on the Craft. . . . For queer Witches of all stripes, this is our history, these are our stories, and this is something for us to treasure.” —from the foreword by Storm Faerywolf

When Christopher Penczak was introduced to Witchcraft, he found a spiritual path through which he could honor and embrace his homosexuality. In Gay Witchcraft, Penczak’s clearheaded theory and practice combine to create a classic book of Witchcraft focused on the perspective of the gay community.

Penczak’s writing has made it much easier for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer people interested in practicing any form of Witchcraft. His willingness to share his own personal journey and the foundations that made the Craft accessible allows readers to find their own ways of practice. This book explores the history of Paganism and offers a compendium of spells, meditations, ceremonies, and affirmations that will enrich both the novice and the experienced practitioner seeking out new views of myth, ritual, and healing.
