Re-weaving the Old Cloth
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly, because you tread on my dreams.
-WB Yeats

"THE RESURRECTION OF THE MEADOW"
A Grimoire by Robin Artisson, occult writer of note, Hedge-crosser, wortcunning
Doctor of Fayerie spirits, and loyalist of the Undying Court and its Queen. "The Resurrection of the Meadow" is described by the author as "A Record of
Thirteen Occult Formulas & Charms of Art with Purport & A Sealing Conjuration &
their many useful Sorcerous Permutations, Writ & Gathered on Walpurgis Night
2010, For those Inquisitive Adepts who walk The despised path of True Sorcery,
The long-dimmed radiance of the Ancient Gold of the Wise."
Found within this full, self-contained working grimoire is a system of sorcery
relying on the ancient spiritual aesthetic of the Faery-Faith and the
Metaphysics of Elfhame- interaction with the Unseen world through the vehicle of
the spirit-forms or the fetch-bodies of non-human persons that are merged with
the land around us. Steeped in folklore and a much older form of deep ecology,
it is a powerful work of Art for the discerning occultist.
The grimoire contains, among other things, full instructions for sealing and
protecting the "Meadow" or sanctified outdoors locations, the "Feery Feast", the
manifesting of the powerful "Weird of the Cairn", the creation of sacred
interaction-points with the "Convocation of the Meadow" or Land-spirits, various
Crossings, arboreal workings for harvesting and gathering sorcerous components
from tree and plant weirds, charms of increase and fertility, and the creation
of the fearful "White Mommet" for works of sympathetic magic. Also included are
detailed instructions for creating "sorcerous concentration" or opening the
"Senses of Luminosity", and the use of the "Nine Doors Under the Hill" charm for
projecting the personal fetch-body into the Unseen. Buy it now from Amazon.com by clicking here.
The Flaming Circle: A Reconstruction of the Old Ways of Britain and Ireland
A Modern Path-Guide to the religious practices and spiritual worldviews of the people of the pre-Christian British Isles
Robin's most extensive and detailed work to date, covering every philosophical and practical aspect of reconstructing and re-living a vision of the ancient polytheistic religions of Britain and Ireland. The Flaming Circle is a book of guidance for living in accordance with older wisdom as well as recreating, in a modern context, the ancient rites that were used to honor the Gods and Goddesses of the British Isles. It is an exhaustive work on polytheology and personal transformation within the deathless ancestral stream of wisdom. It includes a never-before seen interview with a genuine lorekeeper from Ireland, met by Robin on his first journey to that sacred land, and the surprising insights he shared for all who wish to experience the inner reality of the Holy Isles.
The Flaming Circle draws on scholarship and inspiration to create a sourcebook of modern Irish and British Pagan spirituality for any who feel drawn to these still-living paths, and who are prepared to engage these cultures (old and new) with respect and seriousness. Includes original artwork by Peter Paddon. Available now from Pendraig Publishing.
