Its a completely ridiculous notion. There is no Goddess without her Consort. I have never figured out why some men who seem to be drawn to paganism immediately feel persecuted by the woman. Heck even Dianic Witchcraft welcomes men! It took a lot longer to get women into Druidic groves!
I would even go as far as to say that anyone who thinks it is anti-male needs to read up a little more on their path.

I can see how the idea could be perpetrated in that many practitioners of the craft are female (certainly the more public ones) and it does tend to center around goddess worship. However, to the best of MY knowledge there is not any aspect of te craft that dictates that men should not be involved, nor anything that takes any stance agains men. (with the exception of a few isolated, ultra femenist groups that really need to learn the word balance) I have, over the years known a few very powerful witches that were men.
So, no it is NOT anti-male although it is very female oriented in some aspects.

Not at all. I am a man and I am a witch. Some traditions are female only, but there are many traditions out there.
It may seem that way at times because some witches are still frustrated with the male dominance in Christianity.

Well, most practicing witches are female; but i don't think Witchcraft is necessarily "anti-male"! Witchcraft isn't sexist! It is all about who wants to participate....

It is not. There is a section of Wiccans - Dianic Wiccans who only revere the Goddess, and only have females in their covens, but all others have both in equal parts. But also remember, Wicca is not Witchcraft.

Not at all. Just don't buy into wiccan stuff with a feminist agenda. It works for women who still like to bear their 'scars' but doesn't do much for anybody living in the real world. The patriarchal essence of paganism is undeniable. And the whole idea of ancient 'matriarchal worship' is theory at best. Divine incubator might be a realistic way of looking at the ancient female. sQUARE PEG round HOLE

Witchcraft is a term so broad, you cant call it anti-male with any accuracy.

Hi Kaylee, There is more female witches than male
witches. I think the male witches will have to watch their backs and stay in their place.Female witches are going to take control of the craft.They have more control and aren't stupid about what is going on in this world.BLESSED BE...
