Men's Spirituality Today Who are the men who've chosen the Pagan path? They're fathers, sons, brothers, and lovers, warriors, healers, and poets.

He examines the ways in which men have created, added to, and benefited from the Pagan experience, incorporating their own rituals, rites of passage, and symbols.
