The Book of Silent Sky
Of the many genres of world history, myth undoubtedly has had the most influence on culture from ancient to modern times. The Book of the Silent Sky follows in this mythic tradition with a fresh, yet familiar origin story of the cosmos, the creation of man, and the ultimate purpose of life.
Tubelo’s Forge: The Craft of Robert Cochrane (FORTHCOMING)
Robert Cochrane – a name synonymous with Traditional Craft – is perhaps one of its most controversial figures of the 20th century. Scores of articles, books, blogs and webpages claim much in his name, each a pastiche of the other, and though they are a testament to his popularity, they offer little substance regarding his work, and even less in terms of factual information.
The Devil’s Ointment (Forthcoming)
In the historical records of European Witchcraft, one of the most notorious allegations against the accused was the use of a magical salve to gain the power of nocturnal flight.

A History of Irish Magic (Forthcoming)
This is our labour of love over quite a few years, covering druids, witchcraft, fairies, sacred kingship, Irish Hermeticists, W. B. Yeats and his Celtic Order, and the “Hibernian Adept” Art O’Murnaghan.
The Comte de Gabalis
This short novel of 1670 gave the literary world a lasting gift: the doctrine of Elementary Spirits (Gnomes, Nymphs or Undines, Sylphs, and Salamanders) and their relations with humans from Adam’s time to the present.
Liber Coronzom: An Enochian Grimoire (Forthcoming)

Sectis Per Ferrum Draconis (Forthcoming)
Accompanying the Liber Eximo Carnem, a small prayer book is presented to those who wish to walk into the grave of their own unmaking.
Liber Eximo Carnem
The primary focus is on crossing the threshold and the candidate being led blindfolded and bound to the chamber of his/her unmaking. Much of what is being written here relies on the vignette of becoming undone and therefore unmade.

On Christ and Antichrist (Forthcoming)
Hippolytus of Rome (c. 170s - 230s) was an enigma even to his contemporaries. His work was read and admired by the Church Fathers, yet they weren't sure who he was. Perhaps it didn't matter; the work spoke for itself. His reputation rested on his Refutation Omnium Haeresium, a far-ranging treatise on the religious controversies of his time.
The Witch Cult in Western Europe (Forthcoming)
In The Witch Cult in Western Europe, Anthropologist Margaret Alice Murray (1863 – 1963) presents her pioneering and seminal witch-cult theory – an enigmatic history of European witchcraft and the rituals, beliefs and practices of an ancient, secretive pre-Christian religion that persisted covertly amidst fierce Christian persecution.
