The Horned God of the Witches

Explore the deep spiritual roots of the Horned God and discover rituals and activities designed to help you get closer to him.

“An amazing treasure trove of information. I could think of no better person to expand on this topic than acclaimed author Jason Mankey, who has had a prominent connection to this deity for most of his magickal life. In the book he explains this powerful figure as being representative of life, death and everything in between.” —Lilith Dorsey, author of Water Magic

Throughout history, horned deities have been honored as gods of nature, sex, fertility, passion, sacrifice, death, and rebirth. The Horned God of the Witches reveals the origins and features of their most common guises—Pan, Cernunnos, Herne, Elen of the Ways, the Green Man, and even the Devil.

Whether you are interested in the Wiccan Horned God—a more contemporary composite of several deities—or in one of his many other forms, these rituals for meeting the powerful deity will help you achieve your magical goals. With hands-on techniques for divination, creating an altar, working magick, spiritual lovemaking, and receiving the gifts of the Witchfather, this book supports a transformative deepening of your relationship to the divine.

“Taking on both the perspectives of academic history and modern Witchcraft practice, Mankey masterfully unfolds the stories of some of the Craft’s most beloved masculine deities. From their mysterious origins to their place within the archetype of Horned God, readers will find ways to connect with a handful of deities including Cerennunous, Pan, and Herne.” ―Kelden, author of The Crooked Path

“The Horned God of the Witches is a tour de force of history, myth, academic research, and spiritual practice, all conveyed in Mankey's eminently approachable style. The resulting book is a delight to read, both an erudite treatise on modern Pagan theology and a passionate paean to its numinous divine subject, the Horned One.” ―Misha Magdalene, author of Outside the Charmed Circle
