Letters from the Devil's Forest is a lengthy anthology of Artisson's writings regarding every topic of essence and interest to the student or researcher of the half-remembered occult practices of spirit-pacting and spirit-allegiance: the timeless root-practices that underlie the genuine sorcerous traditions of the West. Over 130 chapters representing public and private writings done by Artisson in the last five years but drawing on over 20 years of his own practice and in-depth researches are brought together into one informative tome to better serve the needs of the modern mystic or malcontent in search of a roadmap to the hidden angles of life's most seductive mystery: the mystery of sorcery and the parallel mystery of spiritual ecology.The generous amounts of material housed in this encyclopedia of lore comes divided into nine major portions including a detailed treatment of the lost occult anthropology- the very oldest human beliefs on death the soul and dying- and what these beliefs can mean for us alive today; many ethical practical and instructional essays on various forms of sorcerous art focusing on material long pre-dating the modern occult emergence; essays on the strange themes and practices of the Hidden Seasons or the Witch-sabbats; in-depth daimonological ponderings and writings on the Master Entity himself the Witchfather who stands behind genuine covenants of Witchcraft and the Master-Spirits who share our world and act as tutelary spirits to Witch-kind; scathing criticisms of the lies and falsehoods of modernity and insightful essays offering soul-satisfying alternatives to unquestioned faith in modern myths; sharp philosophical countering and criticism of the mainstream religions that have besmirched the world with their hatreds and absolutisms for centuries and continue to torment the world today; foundational essays concerning Provenance Traditionalism or the secret tradition that emerges from the origins of Western culture and whose metaphysics and insights are still to be discovered encoded in folklore and mythology. Also included is a potent selection of folktales and traditional stories some original but most from deep in the folk-tradition analyzed and elucidated to reveal the potent soul-deep codes that can transform men and women into wiser more cunning people as they undergo their fateful journeys through this world. Letters from the Devil's Forest is a true treasury of the Hidden and Despised Art; it contains in over 700 pages almost ceaseless Art-teaching material sorcerous maxims gems of practice some quite old invocations poems channeled writings warnings ethical and moral ponderings with regard to the sorcerous arts and to living outside of the mainstream of the modern and greedy spirit inspirational quotes from past and present masters wrapped together with Artisson's own sometimes sparkling sometimes questionable brand of humor and wit and crowned with original art flourishes and atmospheric ornamentation by Stephanie Houser.
