Interested in the Minoan Brotherhood?
Temenos Eromenos offers training within the Minoan Brotherhood, an initiatory mystery tradition of witchcraft for men who love men.

This path may resonate with you if you:
•    are 21 years of age or older
•    feel drawn to pagan spirituality, magic, and ritual practice
•    are inspired by the mythology and sacred imagery of ancient Crete and the Mediterranean world
•    wish to explore the spiritual dimension of love between men
•    feel called to walk the path of the Witch-Priest of the Great Mother and Her Divine Son
•    value brotherhood, personal growth, and spiritual transformation

The tradition also works with the mysteries of sacred Eros, exploring love, intimacy, and sexuality within a spiritual and ritual context. Because of this, it is important that students feel comfortable with homo-erotic symbolism and the devotional dimension of male love.

At the same time, the Grove is committed to being a safe and respectful space. Consent, clear communication, and personal boundaries are always honoured.
 
Training takes place primarily in Utrecht, the Netherlands, or Halle (Saale), Germany, with possibilities for long-distance mentorship. Students who live further away should be willing to travel occasionally for gatherings and ritual work.

We are open to all who are willing to commit, to deepen their lives, and to explore the meaning of their existence within an initiatory witchcraft tradition. What matters is not where you come from, but the sincerity of your intention and your dedication to the path.

Men of all ethnic backgrounds, skin colours, religious upbringings, sexual orientations, and body types are welcome. The tradition recognises that the sacred is not limited by external form, but expressed through the diversity of human experience.

If this path speaks to you, you are warmly invited to reach out and introduce yourself. Your message will reach Minos Alexias. Share who you are, and why you are interested in this path. After an initial conversation we can explore together whether there is a good mutual connection and whether this path may be right for you.

Every journey begins with a simple conversation.
