(More customer reviews)I got this book after browsing the pagan section at Borders. Being in the military I skipped straight to "The Warrior" section and read it with great interest. This chapter was great. I took it with me to my regular meeting with my therapist who has been helping me deal with issues from Iraq as well as issues of intimacy in my relationships. I told her that it seemed that someone else had written the things she's been telling me for the past year in the two chapters dealing with the Warrior and the Lover.
I'm not going offer you a review from a literary standpoint here. Nope. I am only going to tell you that a 37 year old man who has been in Desert Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom, has seen combat, has volunteer as a firedepartment, who has given up his job and possessions to simply move 2000 miles away, who's followed love and had his heart crushed, who has seen death and dealt it and is dealing with the ramifications, who reads Jung and Campbell and others, who has asked for all the growth one tiny little soul can ask for, and still dares to dream of happiness... has found this book to be of much depth and complexity and has much to offer men who do not think of themselves as typified by beer commercials, who can attack with great ferocity the enemy before them, who can hold a child with tenderness, and more. This book is a great addition to any library.
Thank you for writing this book. It does well for the men in America (throwing ropes to other men, as written in the back) and it does a great service to the Pagan community to have writings of this caliber representing the depth that our spirituality has to offer.

Roar RuleLaugh Create Destroy Love ...And lay claim to your true masculine nature and spiritual heritage. According to Dagonet Dewr, a writer and activist in the men's pagan spirituality movement: "We have forgotten how to cry, to scream, to hunt, to love, to honor, to teach, to initiate." Hip, funny, and direct, this pagan belief guide explores twelve powerful male archetypes and their relevance for men today: Divine Child, Lover, Warrior, Trickster, Green Man, Guide, Craftsman, Magician, Destroyer, King, Healer, and Sacrificed One. Stories of characters from mythology, fantasy, and pop culture illustrate different expressions of masculine energy. With pagan rituals and magickal workings, this pagan book offers a visceral, hands-on way to connect with archetypal energies and honor male rites of passage such as coming of age, seeking a partner in love, or becoming a father.
