visionary love: a spirit book of gay mythology and trans-mutational faerie
out of print, 1980.
"the initial manifesto of the radical faerie movement."
from h. constance, one of the creators of the book:
"as the sole woman of this group, publishing a book which focuses on gay men's (or notmen's, as you will soon understand) spirituality, i address the androgyne of female as well as male readers. this book has quite remarkable information for both. the focus is male oriented (mitch is, after all, a man writing of his experience), but the real essence is not separatist. it is androgynous, speaking of the doors through which gay vision can take us, doors which lead to both aspects (magentic/dynamic, yin/yang, female/male) of the trueself.
this book speaks of the importance of harmony between the earth and all of her creatures (see trans-mutational faerie), the ultimate necessity of healing the earth...now. the manner in which this is presented is very powerful, as it needs to be...there is an urgency surrounding an earthly home."
