About Brightwolf (Chas McAvoy)

Chas McAvoy, also known as Brightwolf, is a queer Pagan author, Wiccan practitioner, and the creator of the Wolf Pack Tradition—a transformative magickal system that empowers gay men to find authentic spiritual connection and personal power. Raised within the confines of Roman Catholicism, Chas found liberation in Scott Cunningham's Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner. However, it was Christopher Penczak's Sons of the Goddess that ignited the vision for the Wolf Pack Tradition, a path where queer identity is celebrated, not merely tolerated.

Chas's non-fiction work, Wolf Pack Tradition, serves as both a spiritual guide and a practical workbook, offering rituals, exercises, and deep exploration of queer magick. His approach is heavily influenced by the teachings of Orion Foxwood and Storm Faerywolf, and it provides a framework for those who seek magickal connection outside of traditional heteronormative Wiccan structures.

In the realm of fiction, Chas is the author of Temptations of the Quarter, The Lights Over Papago, and Tory's Heart—novels that seamlessly blend urban fantasy, Wiccan magick, and LGBTQ+ romance. His stories are known for their rich world-building, authentic magickal practices, and deeply human queer characters who defy convention and find strength in their differences.

When he's not writing, Chas hosts Gay Pagan Haven, a YouTube channel dedicated to queer spirituality, Wiccan practice, and community building. His work—both fiction and non-fiction—serves as an invitation for readers to embrace their unique magic, challenge tradition, and live their truth unapologetically.
