An underground occult favorite for two decades! The classic guide to the Elven-Faerie by Joshua Free now expanded with additional material for a 20th anniversary edition! The original trilogy revised and updated with a newly released, previously unpublished, sequel trilogy – six books in one huge anthology volume!
ARCHIVE FOOTAGE:Mardukite Elven-Faerie Lounge (discussion series intro video) from January 2009.
Come and enter the Enchanted Forest, deep in the heart of the Green World, and discover the greatest secrets of the Ancient Mystery Tradition — a hidden legacy of long-forgotten “druidic magick” maintained by real Elves and Faerie in history.
This revised and expanded oversized paperback edition commemorates the 20th Anniversary of the underground release of “Book of Elven-Faerie.” This tome is expanded to combine the original material (The Secret Book of Elven-Faerie, The Elven-Faerie Grimoire, and The Enchanted Forest) along with three recently released never-before-published companion volumes (A Secret Legacy of Elves and Fairies, Elven-Faerie Spellbook, and The Book of Ogham) — providing six-books-in-one.
Make your passage into Faerie as you unveil the mysteries contained within this revolutionary and controversial classic by Joshua Free, which has revealed for the first time to the mortal world: a uniquely beautiful, authentic and complete guide to this ancient Elven-Faerie Celtic-Druid Tradition.
The Complete Elvenomicon is an integral part of the epic occult legacy published by Joshua Free. Other titles include: Necronomicon: The Complete Anunnaki Bible (Deluxe 15th Anniversary) also available in both deluxe hardcover and oversized paperback; Novem Portis (Deluxe Edition) — and the newly released deluxe hardcover edition of The Complete Draconomicon for its 30th Anniversary.
“The Complete Elvenomicon” by Joshua Free offers an entire exploration into the Elven Way, Celtic Faerie Tradition and Danubian Druidism as never seen before. Drawing from hundreds of sources and underground groups, the “Elven-Faerie” tradition and system of magic is presented in its candid entirety, as applicable and alive today as it was thousands of years ago—and critically needed for our times, and in our current environmental conditions.
Whilst he spent thirty years as a mystic philosopher on his own personal mission to develop (what is now considered) ‘New Standard Systemology’ as a vehicle for metaphysical ‘Ascension’, Joshua Free also contributed a wealth of material to the modern ‘Occult Underground’ as a prodigious author. Once restricted to a select few that could access it, these materials are now widely published by JFI Publications (‘The Joshua Free Imprint’, formerly ‘Mardukite Truth Seeker Press’).
Each volume preserves its own unique portion of the ‘Underground Occult’ legacy, yet is directly related to the others. When studied chronologically in sequence, the material demonstrates a single continuous stream of ‘forbidden knowledge’. Combined together these volumes form a significant part of the complete esoteric library developed by Joshua Free, one that is unparalleled elsewhere today in the ‘New Age’.
For decades, readers of prestigious works by Joshua Free have taken notice that the intellectual information and spiritual guidance delivered is of a much ‘higher caliber’ than what more mainstream publishers and popularly distributed titles are able to provide.
Of course, there are a few folks that still ‘judge books by covers and titles’ that are unable to consider the work beyond the pseudoepigraphic presentations that Joshua Free favors – such as use of words like “draconomicon” and “elvenomicon” (etc.) to represent collections of very real esoterica!
“The Complete Elvenomicon (Deluxe 20th Anniversary)”, “Necronomicon: The Complete Anunnaki Bible (Deluxe 15th Anniversary)”, “The Complete Draconomicon (Deluxe 30th Anniversary)”, and “Novem Portis (Deluxe)”.
Readers frequently report that possession of works by Joshua Free actually replace the need to spend hundreds, even thousands, of dollars on other books with similar topics. They report that by contrast, having perused volumes written by Joshua Free a pattern forms where other sources of similar information only provide rehashes of greatly diluted watered down elements retained from the past century of ‘occultism’ and ‘esoteric tradition’. Many of these others, appearing on the surface to be ‘new’ or ‘innovative’, tend to fall short in actual practice as poorly crafted fabrications.
To consider a specific example…
THE COMPLETE DRACONOMICON reflects a holistic approach to the Dragon, in part reflecting a unique “systemology” present in some way within all works by Joshua Free. Many readers that have grown accustomed to contemporary “New Age” puff-ball materials are at risk of overlooking his esoteric contributions.
Where many other books on “dragon magick” have appeared in the New Age marketplace, what we actually find is either a dry synthesis of variegated mythologies simply sharing dragon semantics, or else a revised tradition of already established ritual magic or “wiccan” elements that simply incorporate themes and names associated with dragons. Of course, if one desired, THE COMPLETE DRACONOMICON could be used to these same ends. But that is certainly not its purpose.
THE COMPLETE DRACONOMICON provides a bridges directly to materials found within THE COMPLETE ELVENOMICON. Combined these two volumes relay many of the fundamental tenets explored by Joshua Free during his first decade of public work. When one eventually looks to find the even older source inspiring such work, then we are led to the author’s next phase of literature, mainly ‘Mesopotamia’, launched with his debut volume on the subject, NECRONOMICON: THE COMPLETE ANUNNAKI BIBLE – a collection of obscure archaic material that is further illuminated by his recension of NOVEM PORTIS.
THE COMPLETE DRACONOMICON provides a collection of revised ‘Draconomicon‘ materials (including the ‘original’) combined with the complete notebooks of ‘Pheryllt Researches‘ (previously published as ‘Draconomicon: Volume 2‘). And as special bonus: this new deluxe anniversary edition goes a step further by providing the text of ‘Secret Book of Elven-Faerie‘ as its appendix – directly connecting the material with that found in THE COMPLETE ELVENOMICON.
THE COMPLETE ELVENOMICON provides six books in one volume. It joins together the original ‘Elvenomicon‘ trilogy of discourses – ‘Secret Book of Elven-Faerie‘, ‘The Elven-Faerie Grimoire‘ and ‘The Enchanted Forest‘ – along with three recently released never-before-published companion texts to the original trilogy – ‘Secret Legacy of Elves and Faerie‘, ‘The Elven-Faerie Spellbook‘ and ‘Book of Ogham‘. (The six individual titles are also available separately as pocket-sized paperbacks.)
THIRTY YEARS AGO… a young mystic philosopher composed a frugal pamphlet-like brochure while still in grade-school. It grew into a small booklet and circulated exclusively in the occult underground during the 1990’s. After further development, the material resurfaced during the 2008 inception of the “Mardukite Org.” Once republished in a revised and expanded format with global distribution, it quickly became one of the most sought after tomes ever published by Joshua Free…
HERE BE DRAGONS!!! Behold the ultimate Book of the Dragon for modern magick-users and fantasy enthusiasts alike – now revised and expanded for its deluxe oversized 30th Anniversary Hardcover Edition. This underground cult-classic “Draconomicon” anthology offers the most complete collection of powerful teachings and lore describing ancient “dragon magick” and its New Age legacy.
This new oversized hardcover 30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition of THE COMPLETE DRACONOMICON finally combines the original “Draconomicon” material with its later lesser-known companion work, the “Book of Pheryllt Researches” (released separately as “Draconomicon: Volume II” and also “Secret Book of Elven-Faerie” (from “Elvenomicon”) all in one amazing anthology volume!
Come and initiate yourself to the Ancient Mystery School and venture on a progressive journey through the Dragon Legacy – beginning in the depths of the Primordial Abyss and primeval birth of the “Great Cosmic Dragon” and following through the many millennium of secret knowledge carried to the present age… and the future!
Whether you are simply curious, or seeking to explore deep teachings that may incorporate “dragons” into your spiritual and magical systems, THE COMPLETE DRACONOMICON anthologty offers unparalleled research and esoteric testimony to a quarter-of-a-century modern occult evolution, sparking hundreds of traditions.
Hidden in the depths of the Dragon’s Lair is an untold legacy of knowledge and power, secret societies and bloodlines, cults and symbols encompassing our entire material existence – and the means by which it can be controlled. It is quite possible this is among the best kept secrets in the history of occultism, even enshrouded in a cacophony of grand conspiracies. And in its most ancient forms, it is the undefiled, raw and primordial Truth of things – just as we would expect from the Druids, those wizards and sages of old, whom understand these things. And when the student is ready: with understanding comes wisdom.
Discovering true knowledge, wisdom and power of the Dragon has never been easier! And learning the true secrets of Merlin have never been more accessible!

CYBERVAMPS MEDIA NEWS
Things in America are getting more soviet all the time… Doesn’t your revolution deserve a soundtrack?
Enter: “Sonic Weapons of Mass Resistance” – the 2.5 hour Live DJ set — including final appearance by “DJ Nabu” — just released to the public (in its entirety) by the new steward of CyberVamps Media, “DJ Jennarra.”
Webmaster’s Note: This year (2025) author and mystic philosopher, Joshua Free, celebrates writing 100 individual unique titles in the past 30 years — six of these books are contained in the new ‘Complete Elvenomicon’ anthology for its 20th anniversary commemoration.(View the publisher’s basic book description ‘HERE‘ from the necrogate.com press release.)
This mardukite.com blog post excerpts from Joshua Free’s new Introduction to:
“My participation in the legacy behind THE COMPLETE ELVENOMICON began in the mid-1990’s amidst a critical resurgence of ‘New Age’ interests—and foremost among these popular revivals: the Celts and Druids. Each of its parts is an integral of a greater body of work pertaining to my personal involvement with Pheryllt and Elven-Faerie traditions of Druidism for thirty years. This material was imparted to me through personal ‘apprenticeship’ directly by its modern developers—as reflected in the original Elvenomicon series (and also my work concerning the Draconomicon).”
“The original ‘Elvenomicon‘ volume contained a trilogy. Early versions first began circulating in the underground (in 2004) as ‘The Book of Elven-Faerie’, but I later renamed it ‘Elvenomicon‘ (in 2019) to avoid confusing the total collection of work with the title of the first discourse it contained: Book of Elven-Faerie—now retitled Secret Book of Elven-Faerie for the 20th Anniversary reissue. It is really a separate discourse from the other two parts in the trilogy: Greenwood Forest Grimoire (now reissued as ‘The Enchanted Forest’) and The Elven-Faerie Grimoire. Collectively, this trilogy comprises Elvenomicon ‘Series-1’ and contains my own presentation of this specific Elven-Faerie Druidic Tradition, now standing for 20 years past.”
“Materials for the Elvenomicon resulted from many years of research, deliberation and contemplation spent in personal dedication to the Elven-Faerie Tradition before attempting to set this version of it in down in print. It is only now in this new deluxe edition that the first series/trilogy is joined with other parts that were not originally included—and of which have only recently been released as a companion ‘Series-2’ trilogy. The original presentation was edited for specific ‘commercial specifications’ prior to founding the Mardukite movement (and its Truth Seeker Press) in 2008. Such limiting considerations are no longer relevant for this large deluxe 20th Anniversary edition.“
“Although most New Age texts equate Elves and other elemental faerie beings exclusively with the Otherworld or Astral Plane, more experienced Seekers and practitioners understand the connection between these races and a “very real” legacy of Elven-Dragon traditions and the Tuatha d’Anu migrating westward across Europe from Mesopotamia and Anatolia, carrying with them a vast tradition and repository of knowledge essentially predating any fixedly established ‘Ancient Mystery School’.”
Webmaster’s Note: All six of the titles included in THE COMPLETE ELVENOMICON are also available individually in a pocket-sized paperback library collection.
It was 14 years ago, on the Summer Solstice of 2008 that Joshua Free (formerly known as Merlyn Stone in the 1990’s) emerged from a seven-year journey in the underground, out of sight from the general public, and launched what became a fundamentally new genre of the modern New Age with the inception of the Mardukite Research Org and the original Mardukite Truth Seeker Press (now the Joshua Free Imprint or JFI Publishing) premiere presentation of The Great Magickal Arcanum.
But what is more likely to have been far more memorable to many of those following along for over a decade is the launch of the Mardukite Chamberlains, coinciding with the Global Beltane Gate Ritual of 2009 and its annual revisiting for each year since — and we have been active and avidly working all this time on one purpose or project or another.
While there are many newcomers that were perhaps not around for the original event, the Mardukite Office has consistently encouraged a synchronous observance of this annual ‘threshold’ every year… and each year our movement has grown; enlarged itself with increased membership — and also the publication of titles and editions that consistently help drive the economics behind new developments.
Most recently, on Beltane 2020, our energetic intentions were directed to drive forward the acquisition and development of a more permanent home for the Mardukite Offices and within two months, the Mardukite Borsippa HQ was established in the Colorado San Luis Valley, now the global home and headquarters for the Founding Church of Mardukite Zuism, Mardukite Academy and Systemology Society.

Last year, in 2021, our efforts shifted to establishing a stronger presence for Mardukite Systemology and the work that would ‘bridge’ Grade-IV to Grade-V. Within only a few months, starting in the Summer of 2021, a new series of workshops and the “Freedom From” lectures were given at the Mardukite Academy and now compose the newly released volume Way of the Wizard by Joshua Free — specifically planned for global distribution premiering on Beltane 2022.
Also released today, for Beltane 2022, is the Mardukite Academy revised second edition of the underground classic Crystal Clear by Joshua Free.
Another soon-to-be released revised Mardukite Academy second edition in this series is the esoteric bestselling systemology ‘grimoire’: Imaginomicon, which debuts globally on May 19, 2022.
Many antiquated scholarly references to the “Books of Fferyllt” or the “Pheryllt” themselves may be found by a diligent scholar (many of which are paraphrased in this special anniversary collector’s edition of “The Pheryllt Researches”). Whatever bits trickle down from classical literature and antiquarian druidism to satisfy a modern thirst for the ‘pheryllt paradigm’ have been collected together in one place – a sacred book once thirded in former presentations of a ‘Pheryllt Trilogy’ and are now made whole – forming a complete source book of undefiled mystical lore as a companion to the original Draconomicon volume (also available in this series separately in hardcover).
Whatever name, guise, or title we might attribute to this work as the proverbial ‘Body of the Dragon’ – and we have chosen PHERYLLT – this same lore (originally accessible to very few with small networks) serves as basis for the majority of Celtic and neo-Druidic revival of the past few centuries, not to mention other forms of ‘neo-paganism’; whether or not it has received its due credit as such.
“The Pheryllt Researches” were once only available — in their complete form — to members of the Mardukite Academy of Systemology, within the appendix section of the Grade-I Route-D Master Edition anthology textbook: “Merlyn’s Complete Book of Druidism: A Master Course in Druidry for Modern Druids” and is now published as a stand-alone hardcover title for the first time, commemorating its 25th Anniversary since originally compiled by Joshua Free (when once writing as ‘Merlyn Stone’) as an apprentice of New Forest Centre for Magickal Studies in the 1990’s.
Each year, since the inception of the modern Mardukite movement, our organization continues to observe the culturally-hybrid gate-festival of May’s Eve, Beltane or Bealtaine. For over a decade, beginning in 2009, hundreds of practitioners from around the globe have unified and synchronized their “meditations” “workings” and “directed intentions” to not only the acknowledgment of support toward the ancient legacy we represent, but also its continuation.
In 2020, the primary intention emphasized relocation of a more permanent U.S. HQ from the original Mardukite Babylonia site to elsewhere within San Luis Valley — our HQ is intended not only for our research library, but also the publishing office of the Joshua Free Imprint, a counseling center and future chapel for The Founding Church of Mardukite Zuism & Systemology Society. (Additionally, elsewhere in the world, David Zibert placed intentions on collaborating for a French-Canadian branch of the Mardukite Chamberlains, a Mardukite Zuist Temple and Systemological Society. He has been consistently providing French translations of our material for several years.)
HAPPY BELTANE from Mardukite Borsippa HQ San Luis Valley
Here we are a year later and the May Blossoms are blooming here on the Apricot tree for Beltane over at the new Mardukite Borsippa HQ.
Apricot trees are one of many species that blossom around the end of April, providing natural philosophers and other more earth-oriented folk with observably indicating Beltane and the turning of the Wheel of the Year. This festival was once an annual staple of other mystical traditions and religions throughout ancient Europe, made especially popular by the Celtic Druids.
The May Pole, long reduced academically to little more than a phallic symbol, actually is representative of the World Tree, or else the Gateway between all Worlds — all Universes.
Beltane 2021 also commemorates six months or turning point since Samhain 2021 and the completed realization of the Mardukite Academy of Systemology — a grand unification of all work by Joshua Free since 1995 into a precise methodology of study and practice traversing three “Grades” — referred to as the “Master Grades” composed of: –“The Route of Magick and Mysticism” (Grade I, Route A) –“The Route of Druidism and the Dragon Legacy” (Grade I, Route D) –“The Route of Mesopotamian Mystery Tradition” (Grade-II) and finally –“The Route of Mardukite Systemology” (Grade III).
In order to ensure proper duplication of understanding intended by this unification of work — and proper preparation for future higher“Wizard Grades” (IV, V, VI, VII) — Joshua Free candidly and concisely delivered an unrehearsed 48-lecture series live and in person at Borsippa HQ to solidly establish the core of the Mardukite Academy. This series of now legendary lectures, along with all of its supportive materials, is officially known and distributed now as The Complete Mardukite Master Course, available in its entirety for the first time today — in recognition of Beltane 2021 — in both AUDIO and TRANSCRIPT format.

MASTER YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF METAPHYSICS WITH THE ALREADY LEGENDARY “MARDUKITE MASTER COURSE” DELIVERED BY JOSHUA FREE TO THE MARDUKITE ACADEMY IN SEPTEMBER 2020.

GO BEYOND WHATEVER YOU’VE BEEN TOLD ABOUT MAGICK, MYSTICISM, THE OCCULT, DRUIDISM, THE DRAGON LEGACY, MESOPOTAMIA, SUMER, BABYLON, THE HUMAN CONDITION AND TRUTH OF THE PHYSICAL UNIVERSE.
“THE RULES HAVEN’T BEEN BROKEN… THEY’VE JUST BEEN REALIZED FOR THE FIRST TIME!” — As a launch point for the 2020’s and for the inception of the Mardukite Academy of Systemology at the new Mardukite Borsippa HQ for the Founding Church of Mardukite Zuism, Joshua Free delivers a “master course” of epic proportions that is totally unparalleled in the records of human history, reaching even beyond the standards of former philosophical schools, esoteric fraternities and magical orders.
SPANNING 25 YEARS OF UNDERGROUND RESEARCH AND DISCOVERY REVEALED ACROSS 3,600 PAGES IN FOUR HARDCOVER MASTER EDITION ANTHOLOGIES
The total scope of the MARDUKITE MASTER COURSE spans three Grades of knowledge and is given by the Mardukite Academy of Systemology to ensure, certify and provide professional qualifications for “mastering” an understanding of the materials in the same way that an artist “masters” their craft–and then be rightfully considered Masters of this knowledge.
A Seeker must also have access to the basic Master Edition anthology textbooks or else earlier versions of the materials used in conjunction with the “Instructor’s Manual“:
All works by Joshua Free—written and published between 1995 and 2019—pertain to a singular stream of complete instruction that is divided into three Grades or knowledge tiers of realization. The delivery of the MARDUKITE MASTER COURSE in 2020 is intended to grant a clear unification of material presented across all three Grades under the banner of “Mardukite Systemology”–which is also the name given to Grade-III, and is likewise the bridge to even higher levels of work.
OVER TEN YEARS AGO the newly formed band of “Mardukite Chamberlains” (“Mardukite Research Organization”)—members of the underground “spiritual,” “occult” and “esoteric archaeology” community—received instructions during meditation for a synchronized global meditation working that would unleash a “New Age” of global consciousness on planet Earth toward the reconstruction of the “Anunnaki paradigm” in everyday life and the establishment of a “New Babylon” order in dedication to the “New Thought” principles of human potential and spiritual evolution gleaned from the most ancient tablets on the planet… and that was back in 2009…
Merlyn’s Complete Book of Druidism: A Master Course in Druidry for Modern Druids by Joshua Free (2020 Master Edition, 7 books in one)
Here we are in 2020 and we take a moment to look back on the legacy of Beltane both ancient and modern in this miniseries of blogposts!
“The Belteine or Beltane festival is named such after the ‘Fires of Bel’ or ‘Belinos’—most likely a remnant of Bel Marduk or known elsewhere in the Canaanite mutation of ‘Baal.’ It was actual on the dawn of an ancient Belteine when the Tuatha d’Anu arrived in Ireland and set fire to their own ships. The most commonly known tradition of May Day is the ‘May Pole’—a symbol of the ‘World Tree’ that is traditionally danced around while weaving ribbons hung from the top. ‘May Day’ is, of course, May 1st, though the festival begins the night before—on May’s Eve—with the construction of two large bonfires built side-by-side, which are then consecrated to Bel before set aflame. Ancient Celts marched their cattle in procession between these two flames as they led them out to pasture for the year. Some evening observances may be held, however this following rite is typically observed at noon.”
—from The Elven-Druid Grimoire contained in The Elvenomicon by Joshua Free, also available in Merlyn’s Complete Book of Druidism.
It is in many ways possible that proto-Druid and Celtic observations of “Beltane” resulted from the most significant event of the ancient nearly prehistoric legacy: the arrival of the Tuatha d’Anu (or Tuatha de Dannan) in Western Europe.
“Lore suggests that the ‘Children of the Stars’ [Tuatha d’Anu] arrived in Keltia on ‘Beltane’—May’s Eve—approximately five thousand years ago. The race or clan was socially represented by four primary ‘leaders’ or ‘warriors,’ each from a different city or capital in their ‘homelands’—wherever this might be, as the subject turns to the domain of legend…”
—Druid’s Handbook by Joshua Free, also available in Merlyn’s Complete Book of Druidism.
“They [Tuatha d’Anu] arrived there on Beltane (May Day or May’s Eve) ‘concealed in a magical fog or mist.’ While the European mainland lay off to the East and South of Ireland, the Tuatha D’Anu arrived from the North and West of the Island, settling first in the mountains of Western Ireland. This led many to believe they were the ‘People of the North’ or that they came from somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean. But, their ships, on the other hand, were said to be of a “sky-nature,” which somehow caused an uncanny solar eclipse for the first three days of their arrival…”
—The Elvenomicon by Joshua Free, also available in Merlyn’s Complete Book of Druidism.
Beltane is an unusual festival or annual cross-quarter event that is literally called the “Fires of Bel” or “Bel-teine.” The name “Bel” for “lord” or “god” being an obvious import from the Ancient Mystery School. In Celtic and Druidic tradition, this festival stood apart from all of the others as the most supreme “Fire Festival” in Keltia, observed with a bonfire, which could only be ignited by the most esoteric means:
“Many scholars today are of the mind that the Druid’s Gem ‘no larger than an apple’ was manufactured from glass—a substance linking the item to both the Motherhood of Avalon, residing on the ‘Isle of Apples’ (alternatively, the ‘Isle of Glas’ or ‘Glastonbury’) and the Welsh alchemical Druid fire-workers—the ‘Pheryllt.’ It has been further suggested by certain scholars, notably Lady Flavia Anderson in ‘The Ancient Secret,’ that the original serpent’s eggs were spheres of clear crystal used to light the Druidic Beltane ‘needfires’ via focused sunlight.”
—Druid’s Handbook by Joshua Free, also available in Merlyn’s Complete Book of Druidism.
In nearly all cultures that observe it, the annual Beltane threshold on the eve of May is a bridge between worlds, a critical doorway or bridge that greatly mirrors the significances held in regard to Samhain—taking place in “earth-time” exactly opposite in the year on the eve of November. In fact, a note regarding this even appears in The Draconomicon by Joshua Free (also available in Merlyn’s Complete Book of Druidism), stating “Although these types of evocation seem typical of Samhain, esoteric lore also indicates that the Beltane Gate is actually more accessible from “our” side, at the exactly opposite “peak” of the year.”

For the first time, anyone can gain unhindered access to the most complete collection of writings and records revealing answers to long sought after mysteries of the western world: the Secrets of the Druids. An entire esoteric research library–materials developed and revised underground from 1995 through 2020, collected by notoriously prolific mystic writer, Joshua Free–is now at your fingertips. Enter the Sacred Grove and initiate yourself to the greatest Mystery Tradition ever known in Western World while earning Universal Wisdom known only to Druids with the definitive textbook anthology developed by Joshua Free. It contains “Druid’s Handbook,” “Draconomicon” and the complete “Elvenomicon” compendium, including “Book of Elven-Faerie,” “Elven-Druid Grimoire” and “Greenwood Forest Grimoire.” But, if that were not enough, an initiate will also discover Joshua Free’s original collection of “Pheryllt Research” notebooks–and as an additional bonus: the critical materials excerpted from a specially designed Mardukite Master Course specifically for achieving the greatest success on the Route of Druidism, which also features the revised and annotated tercentenary edition of John Toland’s “Pantheisticon.”
Discover the enchantment of the Green World and partake in the hidden legacy and magick of the Ancient Mystery Tradition as once realized in Europe. Here is the key to unlock the forbidden knowledge that evolved throughout history and emerged into factions of the “Western Magical Tradition” observed frequently in the “New Age” movements of today. Joshua Free provides the expert guide on the reality of Druidism in the here and now–as controversial as it is revolutionary and proven effectively workable for our times… and into the future. Here is a textbook providing a foundation of certainty to all those Earth stewards intending to be future planetary guardians in the times being what they are. No dry academic postulating or worn out history lessons about geography and deeds of war leaders…
Here is Real Druidism!
When combined together and with the additional notebooks and the revived text of John Toland’s Pantheisticon contained within, there is simply no greater single source for all of what you seek regarding Druids, Druidry, Druidic Tradition and the future of Druidism. No matter what your opinions of the discoveries herein enclosed, you will assuredly not ever be the same for knowing them.
If you have been waiting for the ultimate archetypal tome of Druidism to finally arrive…
