A Minoan Brother asked me to turn this graphic I had made into a T shirt design on the Mandragora Magika website for a local pride event. So it’s live now! Do Gay Witchcraft! #minoanbrotherhood #minoanbrotherhoodflorida #gaywitch #gaycoven #gaywitchcraft

The Labrys is an important symbol today to the Minoan Brotherhood and Sisterhood. In ancient Crete, the double axe was a religious symbol that was usually accompanied by Goddesses. It seems that is was a a symbol of the brink of creation. #minoanbrotherhood #gaywitch #gaycoven

The phallic altar located in our temple in Florida named Alsos Ampelos celebrates the phallus as a spiritual symbol of a creative force in nature, fertility, joy and positive sexuality #gaycoven #minoanbrotherhood #minoanbrotherhoodflorida #gaywitchcraft #gaywitch #gaypagans #alsosampelos

Stop To Smell the Roses! Placing floral arrangements on an altar serve as a visual expression of reverence. In Paganism, this is seen as an act of sacrifice by many as well. #minoanbrotherhood #paganism #gaycoven #gaywitchcraft

Happy Summer Solstice to everyone in the Northern Hemisphere! Enjoy the longest day of the year!! #minoanbrotherhood #paganism #summersolstice

**I by no means left anyone off this list on purpose, and did not go into the extensive list of living practitioners. You all know who you are and thank you for all you do. **Now I need to form a list for the women!!!

June is Pride Month! Mandragora Magika is proudly gay owned and operated! Happy Pride to all of my brothers and sisters as well as all of our allies! www.mandragoramagika.com/post/happy-p...

Working within a Gardnerian-influenced framework, we blend elements of pre-Doric Aegean mythology (primarily Cretan and Mycenaean), the Ancient Near East, and Traditional Witchcraft. A strong current of queer spirituality influences our practices.

The Earth awakens with the warming days. The seeds have germinated and life is renewed. Here is a small shrine to a Minoan Goddess at Alsos Ampelos in Central Florida. More about us here www.mandragoramagika.com/join-minoan-...

Hidden Waterfall 🐮

Happy Spring Equinox! #minoanbrotherhood #minoan #gaycoven #gaywitchcraft #minoanbrotherhoodflorida #spring #witchcraft

The ever expansive ocean, with all the riches that she provides. While ancient Minoans had an agricultural system which relied mainly on olives and grapes, the ocean was a main source for sustenance. The art of the Minoan civilization often depicted ocean scenes, including dolphin, octopi, fish etc.

Celebrating and sharing the love today. Happy Love Day! #minoanbrotherhood #love #gaycoven #gaywitchcraft #pagan

Later the shop was rebranded as The Magickal Childe, which stayed open until the 90's. #minoanbrotherhood #pagan #gaycoven

Long before the Classical Period of the well-known Greeks, there was the Bronze Age that included the Minoan Civilization. Although the civilization did not survive, much was left for us to gain a glimpse into their lives. The frescoes found in Minoan palaces were incredibly detailed. #knossos

The Minoan Brotherhood - Dedicated to Queer Male Spirituality. It is a distinct initiatory, lineaged & oathbound #witchcraft tradition. It is dedicated to #queer #spirituality by exploring the male mysteries. #minoanbrotherhood #gaycoven #gaywitchcraft #gay #gayspirituality #pagan

A piece of art that I did inspired by #Greek vase painting. #minoanbrotherhood #gay #gaywitchcraft #greekart #art #erotic #gaymen #gayspirituality #minoanbrotherhoodflorida #minotaur

This is The Official Minoan Brotherhood website that has a lot of question/answer about the Brotherhood for those interested. It also lists groups. minoan-brotherhood.org #minoanbrotherhood #minoan #gaycoven #gaywitchcraft #gay

Here is a list of Minoan Brotherhood groups around the world #minoanbrotherhood #minoan, #gay #gaywitchcraft #gaycoven #witchcraft #pagan #gaypagan #minoanbrotherhoodflorida #gayspirituality www.mandragoramagika.com/minoan-broth...

The ocean was an extremely important resource to the Minoan civilization and spirituality. This is a design I created based off traditional Minoan art for the Minoan Brotherhood/Sisterhood folks. It is available on MandragoraMagika.com #minoanbrotherhood #minoan #pagan #goddess #minoanart #design

For those interested in the Minoan Brotherhood or Greek mythology, there are a few books that are 'must reads'. I'm not generally a fan of historical novels but these books captivated my attention as I think they would anyone interested in Greek mythology. #minoanbrotherhood #gaywitchcraft #pagan

this is a design I did for a Tshirt for the Minoan Brotherhood folks. It is available on MandragoraMagika.com. All proceeds go to the upkeep of that site. #minoanbrotherhood #minotaur #minoanbrotherhoodflorida #labrys #minoan #gay #gayspirituality #gaytshirt #pagan #gaywitchcraft #witchcraft

There are several books available on Phallus Worship but one of my favorites is The Phallus: Sacred Symbol of Male Creative Power, by Alain Daniélou. Does anyone else have recommendations? #minoanbrotherhood #phallic #phallus #gay #gaywitchcraft #minoanbrotherhoodflorida #gaycoven #gayspirituality

The framework of the Minoan Brotherhood is very similar to that of initiatory Wiccan traditions, like Gardnerian or Alexandrian. While the differences are numerous, it is an oathbound witchcraft tradition that practices ritual nudity. #minoanbrotherhood #wicca #witchcraft #gay #gaywitchcraft

Gay Witchcraft is Valid Witchcraft. A very short list of important queer pagans that were out of the closet and passed over & made an impact on Gay Spiritual traditions, Neo-paganism, Wicca, & Witchcraft. #minoanbrotherhood #gay #gaywitchcraft #witchcraft #pagan #gaycoven #minoanbrotherhoodflorida

This is a picture of a Minoan Brotherhood shrine in our temple Alsos Ampelos. It includes some of the items and statuary that are important. #minoanbrotherhood #minoan #gay #gaywitchcraft #gaycoven #minoanbrotherhoodflorida #witchcraft #labrys #gayspirituality #pagan #shrine #altar

Here is a little piece of our Phallic Altar in our temple Alsos Ampelos. As a symbol, the phallus represents pleasure, bliss, fertility, virility, sexuality, regeneration & more. #minoanbrotherhood #phallic #gay #sexuality #phallus #minoanbrotherhoodflorida #gaycoven #gaywitchcraft #gayspirituality

While there is some controversy if bull-leaping was an actual sport or ritual practice, this famous fresco (ca. 1450–1400 BC.) depicts 2 female figures positioned on either side of the bull, while a male figure flips himself off the bull’s back. #minoanbrotherhood #knossos #fresco #minoan #minoanart

There are 2 "active" Minoan Brotherhood groups in Florida currently. Both in Central Florida, (Flagler County and Brevard County, Rockledge). #minoanbrotherhood #gaycoven #gaywitchcraft #floridawitch #witchy #witchcraft #coven #minoanbrotherhoodflorida #gay #gaywitch #minoan

Who was Eddie Buczynski? The founder of the Minoan Brotherhood, not only was he interested in the occult but he was academically inclined towards archaeology which made him the perfect person to construct a pagan mystery-cult. #minoanbrotherhood #gaycoven #gaywitch #gaywitchcraft #eddiebuczynski

Bull imagery was important to Minoan culture and the Minotaur is included in that. The use of figures/statues to represent "The Starry One", the divine son of the Great Mother are often seen upon altars in the brotherhood. #minoanbrotherhood #gay #gaywitch #witchcraft #minotaur #gaycoven #pagan

The Minoan Snake Goddess. The symbology of the chthonic snake is so important to my spiritual practice representing life, regeneration, renewal, transformation. I tend to wrap snake skin sheds around the cult images in our temple. #minoanbrotherhood #goddess #witchcraft #gay #gaycoven #witchcraft

The Minoan Brotherhood is an initiatory, lineaged and oathbound tradition. A unique mystery tradition that explores male mysteries and queer spirituality. #minoanbrotherhood #gay #minoan #gaycoven #gaywitch #gaypagans #minoanbrotherhoodflorida
