A.J. Drew (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 21, 2008

Wicca Spellcraft for Men explains the workings of Wiccan spellcraft from a male point of view with special attention to the concerns men face in their day to day life. It provides the scientific principles of spellcraft and sensibly explains both the theory and practice of modern spellcraft.

The book offers examples of spells that can be found in lore. Recipes for incense, oils, and other creations are given with clear instructions on recording how well these recipes work for the individual and amending the recipes to improve function.

Amazon.com Review

A.J. Drew's Wiccan Spellcraft for Men offers a much-needed balance to the feminine-dominated Wicca guidebooks. Men who want to know more about Wicca will no doubt appreciate his straightforward advice on cultivating courage and bravery, strengthening the aura, enhancing prosperity, traveling the astral plane, and creating "magickal" incense and tinctures. Drew often tailors his discussions toward masculine needs (he honors straight as well as gay men), directly addressing male competitiveness and the fear of intimacy. Yet female readers will not find themselves excluded. Drew offers plenty of wisdom to both sexes, such as the importance of being conscious of your intention before beginning any magic work and how to use chants and verse to focus the mind and enhance spells. --Gail Hudson

5.0 out of 5 stars A down to earth book that focuses more on the masculine side, April 19, 2003

This review is from: Wicca Spellcraft for Men (Paperback)

This book was a huge refresher from the majority of the wiccan books I have picked up. It seems that the majority of the wiccan specific books are written by females and I have found many slanted to the point of feminism to exclude but the slimmest positive mention of the masculine aspect, if not at times male bashing, talking about how horrible the males made society.
This book doesn't go into masculine vs. feminine... or the history of our culture. What it does though is fill in the areas that are soo often skipped over by the other books. It has a wonderful chapter on the Gods, a good review/introduction to spellcraft, great recipes for Oils/Incenses... and most importantly a great wealth of knowledge and experience that filled a spot for me that many books seemed to never mention.
This book should be in anyones reading list, it definately does not try to engulf all of the masculine aspect of the craft, as it is written less about the strictly masculine side then just about his view that wicca is a religion and not a fad and it is for men just as much as it is for woman, but I would recommend it full heartedly to anyone male/female or other.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can you say wow?, May 29, 2002

This review is from: Wicca Spellcraft for Men (Paperback)

Quick and to the point, Drew points out that there are two distinctly different forms of Wicca available to the reader. He then presents a Wicca that you do not often see, one for non-fadists! Finaly, a book written by an author who doesn't confuse Dungeons and Dragons with heart felt religion and a desire to improve ones state of being.

Perhapse the first book ever written on Wiccan Spellcraft that points out that spellcraft is a time honored and sacred tradition which can be used to improve the world in which we live.

I have never felt as good about being Wiccan as I have since I read this book! Finaly, a book on Wiccan Spellcraft that doesnt make the reader seem like a child.

Blessed be and live free!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best wiccan books that I have ever read!, March 8, 2002

This review is from: Wicca Spellcraft for Men (Paperback)

A. J. Drew did a fantastic job with his writing in "Wicca Spellcraft for Men: A Spellbook for Male Pagans". Too many Wiccan books lean heavily towards the feminine aspects of Wicca and the Goddess. Balance is an essential element in Wicca, and it should never exclude balance between maleness and femaleness, between the God and the Goddess.

If you are a male pagan or male witch, this is certainly a book that you should give serious thought to reading and adding to your personal library. If you are a female pagan or female witch, this book will provide great insight into the male aspects of Wicca.
