Primal peoples all over the world embrace the ideas discussed in this work: the animistic worldview, spiritual communion with the dead and the Unseen World, sorcery and magic.Author and traditional witch Robin Artisson explores these mystical themes from the perspective of The Old Faiths and pre-Christian metaphysical impulses of Europe and the British Isles. Bringing a new perspective to these ancient practices and making them more accessible, this book is a key to the door that leads into the mythical dimension of each person, and every feature of the sacred landscape. It helps to unlock the hidden wisdom in folklore, shed light on the enigma of the human being, and manifest an experience of the wisdom of the Old Ways- insofar as a book can. This book is about getting out of books and back into the spiritual dimension of the Land itself, and requires considerable dedication and work. Read more...

~Dedications~

A work such as this is theproduct of a massive chain of forces but chief among those forcesis the love, dedication, and effort of many, many people andspiritual powers. I have to try to thank them now:

To JenniferPostler:

You are livingproof that when the Powers who watch over us decide to send theirblessings, they dont hold back your tireless devotion to the OldWays, and your generosity is the reason why this book finally sawprint. You have let flow an ocean of love and sharing, and nodedication or gratitude will ever be enough to repay you. As longas the worlds endure, I and those closest to me will love you.

To the people atthe Hollow Hill:

Robin Artissonlovingly dedicates this book to you, and hopes that you can helphim to take it to the next place.

To myfetch-beast, my Familiar spirit, the very wise and watchfulOwl:

Allow me to quotethe master poet Rumi in your praise: In your light I learn howto love; in your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside mychest, where no one sees you. But sometimes I do, and that sightbecomes this art.

To the Pale Ladywho lives in the Land, the Mother of my Spirit, She who holds thedead inside Her and to Her Lord, the White Horned One of greatknowledge, teacher of the Art:

Do not see onlythis mortal effort, but see the great love and spirit behind it. Iam your devoted servant and son, and I place myself in your hands,now and always.

And to my wife,Sara the finest and the most beautiful that Ireland everproduced:

Your love is theheart and soul of everything I do; there is no Son of Art withoutyou. Thank you for being my strength and my all.

To MichaelQuirke, woodcarver of Sligo Town and guardian of the hidden doorsof Wisdom in the Land of Eire, to T.L., R.B., and to the othergentleman who wishes to remain unnamed:

You are theguardians of the true Old Ways, and your Wisdom can now be partlyexpressed in this book, even if a book cannot do it fulljustice.

Finally, I wantto thank all the people out there who, when they saw a good thing,knew it was a good thing and were not afraid to say so.
