Hey guys, sorry to bombard y'all with, yet, another question. But, this morning--just as I was waking up!) I was inspired to write an article dealing with the conception of Gays within contemporary Witchcraft; and the pagan antecedants of the homo-erotically inclined--I may even have to define "homosexual", because many heterosexual Pagans impose onto everyone, in their zeal, that Gays *have* no History, because it is essentially a "modern" phenomenon! (How offensive!) Though, in writing this article I was reminded of one woman who posted a responce to a news article over at The Witches' Voice dealing with the rash of Gay marriage legislation throughout the Summer of 2005, because she believed that if Gays and Lesbians wanted marriage that they *should* be forced to go to another state to have them performed--not hers'; and she justified her biggotry because, "the god gave men the credit card, and the goddess gave women the credit card slot!"

Anyway, one aspect I want to research is the cult of Hyakinthos! Does anyone know of any sources that go into depth in the cult of this (functionally?) Dying-and-Rising God? I ran a google-search and found the name of a fascinating book, but the only references to be seen are two 1-page reviews via JSTOR (which, because they are single-page works are not displayed, so I can't even see the publisher, or date; though it has to be from the late 1940s!). The book in question is called "Hyakinthos", by one Matchteld J. Mellink. Does anyone know anything about this book, or if it's possibly on-line somewhere? I'd love to see what information and data he has at his disposal!

Take Care,
Wade
