Description
An Carow Gwyn: Sorcery and the Ancient Fayerie Faith and it’s companion book An Cawdarn Rudh by Robin Artisson are a complete and comprehensive grimoire of the ancient Fayerie Faith.
An Carow Gwyn is an extensive work covering every angle and dark folkloric corner of the ancient Fairy-related beliefs of Europe and the British Isles. The first portion of the work is a sprawling, in-depth analysis of the “Fayerie Faith”, the folkloric presence of the old animism and spirit-worship of ancient and pre-modern Europe, Eurasia, Britain, and Ireland. The remaining portions form a detailed modern Grimoire of practical sorcery based solely upon pre-modern principles and traditional spirit-metaphysics as they are found in the ballads and folktales of the Old World and the traditional tales and lore of witchcraft.
Also included is Robin Artisson’s translation of a 14th century work, “The Romance of Thomas of Erceldoune”, appearing here for the first time in modern English, along with detailed notes revealing the full esoteric significance of the strange story it tells: a story of how humans relate to the Fayerie World, and what that might mean for our destiny in this world. Countless other old tales are told and analyzed for the truths and guidance they contain.
An Carow Gwyn shows the Old Way of seeing and living in this world for what it truly was, where it ultimately came from, and how it still lives quietly among us. A complete philosophical treatise regarding Spiritual Ecology, and how it relates to the Old Ways, is interlaced throughout the book. Criticism of modern cultural philosophies and ideologies in light of what the Old Ways reveal, forgotten histories underlying many of our cultural stories and myths, and the hidden laws and techniques behind basic and advanced historical works of sorcery (all of which are explained in exacting detail) are carefully brought together in this substantial and paradigm-shifting work. An Carow Gwyn contains over 60 illustrations and diagrams, and gives historical (and accessible) spells and workings from the Classical to the Elizabethan eras for seeking oracles through dreams, swaying the spirits of forests and graveyards, protection and uncrossing, opening doorways into spiritual regions, and even the supreme act of disassociating from bodily experience and traveling in the Unseen world.
An Cawdarn Rudh (“The Red Cauldron”) is a companion book to “An Carow Gwyn: Sorcery and the Ancient Fayerie Faith”, which greatly expands upon the system of sorcerous practice presented within An Carow Gwyn’s pages.
This work returns to the ancient source that gave rise to An Carow Gwyn’s most powerful workings, and makes five additional Key Invocations available to practitioners of this potent system of sorcery. These five venerable invocations, nearly lost to the world during purges of spiritual texts in ancient times, can greatly expand the capabilities of those assaying sorcerous works within the boundaries of Fayerieism.
Also found within this book are four other spells and charms drawn from the ancient magical scrolls: a spell for accomplishing the dreaded feat of Red Necromancy, or appealing to the souls of men and women who have died under unfortunate circumstances to become allies in the accomplishment of sorcerous works, a charm that appeals for protection from the Powers of the Underworld, a spell for gaining detailed dream revelations and visions, and an alternative Herb Swaying Charm for gaining aid from the free souls of plants.
These substantial Key Invocations, along with the four accompanying spells and charms, are analyzed and explained with historical background where necessary, and come with complete instructions and pronunciation guides for their accomplishment. Practitioners of many traditional sorcerous or magical systems might find this work a valuable resource.
