The Flowering Rod, a look at mens spirituality, the image of the Horned God, and how men fit into Paganism and ritual, is available through Immanion Press. This book was first published in 1993 by the now defunct Delphi Press, and after being unavailable for a very long time, this new, re-edited version is available on the publisher's site.
PRAISE FOR "THE FLOWERING ROD"...
A powerful examination of Men’s Mysteries that traces the male experience back to the times of the hunter-gatherers, when the simple acts of working and hunting were seen as sacred, and when men’s passionate sexuality was celebrated as their personal connection to the Earth.
Recognizing that many men of today lack a sense of sacred identity, Klein provides a framework for ritual and self-examination based on ancient lore and legend, which gives men the means to reclaim their sacred selves.
“Kenny Klein has achieved a blend of psychological and spiritual theory, a review of aspects of European history which relate directly to the lives of men struggling to affirm their masculinity and a practical guide for men to actualize their masculine spirituality. Kenny’s contribution to masculine spirituality is enormously important. A book like this is long overdue, not only as it relates to the Neo-Pagan community but for all men who are seeking a spiritual way to experience their own empowerment as well as healing our planet.”

“It is a great pleasure to see men today discovering in the Old Religions of pre-patriarchal times deeper, more caring and more joyful ways to celebrate their manhood; ways more meaningful then the warring, patriarchal stereotypes of our own society. Kenny Klein has beautifully described his own spiritual journey. He also offers a detailed and practical guide to the many levels of meaning a man may find in the Pagan way.”

Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries had its humble beginnings as an idea of a few artisans and craftsmen who enjoy performing with live steel fighting. As well as a patchwork quilt tent canvas. Most had prior military experience hence the name.
Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries.
Vendertainers that brought many things to a show and are know for helping out where ever they can.
As well as being a place where the older hand made items could be found made by them and enjoyed by all.
We expanded over the years to become well known at what we do. Now we represent over 100 artisans and craftsman that are well known in their venues and some just starting out. Some of their works have been premiered in TV, stage and movies on a regular basis.
Specializing in Medieval, Goth , Stage Film, BDFSM and Practitioner.
Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries a Dept of, Ask For IT was started by artists and former military veterans, and sword fighters, representing over 100 artisans, one who made his living traveling from fair to festival vending medieval wares. The majority of his customers are re-enactors, SCAdians and the like, looking to build their kit with period clothing, feast gear, adornments, etc.
Likewise, it is typical for these history-lovers to peruse the tent (aka mobile store front) and, upon finding something that pleases the eye, ask "Is this period?"
A deceitful query!! This is not a yes or no question. One must have a damn good understanding of European history (at least) from the fall of Rome to the mid-1600's to properly answer. Taking into account, also, the culture in which the querent is dressed is vitally important. You see, though it may be well within medieval period, it would be strange to see a Viking wearing a Caftan...or is it?
After a festival's time of answering weighty questions such as these, I'd sleep like a log! Only a mad man could possibly remember the place and time for each piece of kitchen ware, weaponry, cloth, and chain within a span of 1,000 years!! Surely there must be an easier way, a place where he could post all this knowledge...
Traveling Within The World is meant to be such a place. A place for all of these artists to keep in touch and directly interact with their fellow geeks and re-enactment hobbyists, their clientele.
