English Folklore: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This little work is a broad and truncated overview of a very large collection of folk tales and superstitions among the English peasantry- a field of study of the vulgar or common which was just beginning to be of public interest as the 20th century dawned. It is interesting to note several examples of older myths being adapted to then-contemporary events; tales of ghost lights were common for centuries and ended up twined in with the sinking of German U-boats and the remains of the dead washing up on the shore in the era of WWI, for example.

Birds in Legend and Folklore: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This is a full length work dedicated to a fairly exhaustive treatment of hundreds of cultures spanning thousands of years in their use of birds in a folkloric capacity. The density of the book is high, owing to its academic, rigorous nature, and those intrigued by ornithology will probably enjoy this work as well as cryptid lovers and folklore buffs.

It is very much worth noting the symbolic significance of some birds over others; the crow, eagle, peacock, and dove stand out as the true "A-listers" of the avian world. It is not often that I am engrossed in the same work I am editing but this was definitely one of those happy times- the differential treatment of the Phoenix by a half dozen nations in the olden days is fascinating.

A Book of Giants: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

Mythology and legend is a great component of the occult and the study of the same arguably one of the more enjoyable. What could be better than tales of Norse giants? Tales of Norse giants alongside tales of giants in Homers' works and in the middle ages, twain with a short but sweet section at the end of this work on "real" giants (some lore of which is perfectly accurate!)

Technically speaking this work is fiction, but the recounting it does spills over into the specifically occult in its then-modern musings about the subject matter, and primarily comes from works either explicitly or implicitly religious in nature and overtone.

General Update: Current and Planned Works for March

Alright literary world, it's time for a brief update as spring (very slowly) decides to encroach; this gives me a lot of ambition while suffering from cabin fever, although once it actually gets nice outside I do a "little" less editing and writing for a while mid spring.

I am currently about 90% of the way through "Aryan Sun Myths" and so that work will be ready and available within a week or so- "Demonism" I am half done with, so that would be the third week of March, roughly. A couple other works are planned for March: once Aryan Sun Myths is complete I'll begin editing, I believe, the Theurgia Goetia, or perhaps the Paulina and Almadel (the two will be released together due to the lengths being too short to get the Paulina out solo); either way I'll be contacting my illustrator, and by the summer all four books of the Lesser Keys will be available, I hope. After that it won't be long before I release an edition of the same with a fairly elaborate foreword and some explanatory comments.

I have a few short alchemical works of note to process as well, along with the planned two herbals!
