Soon Comes Walpurgis
A Collection of Macabre and Disturbing Tales
A Scottish witch torments the dead for the living. A deathless evil born of traffic with the Devil stalks a lonely forest for generations. A Colonial American cult persists into the modern day, its corrupted members being among the not-so-dearly departed. The Mother of Werewolves is remembered in the dreaming hills and hollows of a distant land. A man obsessed with a woman of the Otherworld rushes to his own certain doom. A warrior stalks a powerful and savage Troll that none can kill, to save his family. Revenge comes from beyond the grave when a sorcerer delivers a magic potion that can restore memories of lives long ended to those alive today.
These stories and many more are found within this collection of terrifying and disturbing short tales by Robin Artisson, somewhat notable and semi-well known writer of occult fiction and non-fiction regarding folklore, witchcraft, and spiritual ecology. Haunted wells, haunted mirrors, flying witches, and delirious visions proliferate in the pages of Soon Comes Walpurgis. With 40 Illustrations by Larry Phillips.

The House That Cerrith Built
Volume 1 of the Towneley Witch Tales
A down-on-his-luck writer looking for inspiration decides to spend a night alone and under the influence of hallucinogens in the ruins of a house that was rumored to have been built by a powerful family of witches long ago. What he experiences that night changes his life forever... and not necessarily for the best. Over a century before that, in the last years of the Victorian Era, two young girls discover a book in the same house that might well have been written by the Devil- and it conjures forth unspeakable terrors and wonders that carry them both to the strange place beyond life and death. "The House that Cerrith Built" contains the short story "Meadowsweet's Red Chaplet" and the prequel novella to that story, "Yet Thy Spirit Shall Not Sleep." Drawing upon deep strands of folklore, mythology, history, and esotericism, it weaves together two related tales of horror and mystery that ask disturbing questions about the ordinary definition of reality, and the nature of good and evil.

The Secret History
Cosmos, History, Post-Mortem Transformation Mysteries and the Dark Spiritual Ecology of Witchcraft.
"The Secret History" concerns the deepest matters of all: cosmology and the story of life's emergence and meaning, told from the perspective of a primordial way of seeing and comprehending nature that existed long before civilization began. Robin Artisson brings together folklore, mythology, animistic perspectives, and dark spiritual ecology to rebirth a vision of who we are, where we came from, and what might happen to us ultimately, along with spiritual insights into the devastating cost of the excesses of civilization.
This book also examines the nature of the ancient Mysteries, experiential pathways that were established in pre-Christian times and which allowed for humans beings- themselves originally entities from the Underworld- to encounter the beings native to their original condition and reestablish relationships of familiarity with them, for the purpose of rediscovering a deeper sense of peace and place in our world. Two methods of establishing new relationships with those same powers are detailed, methods that aim at transforming a person's life and destiny beyond the grave.

Hands of Fate
"Hands of Fate" is the first of the "Small Tome" offerings from Black Malkin Press, each of them covering a single topic of deep spiritual or occult significance. In Hands of Fate, the topic of cartomantic divination with standard playing cards is covered. Author and professional diviner Robin Artisson offers instruction in a deeply detailed and intuitive system of playing card divination draped in the older aesthetic of Traditional Witchcraft and Fayerieism, allowing diviners to channel entire stories of divinatory insight from oracular sources. He discusses methods which will allow any person, whether practicing sorcerer or not, to gain true oracular communication with extraordinary sources of insight. Alongside this central theme of the work, many smaller systems of cartomancy and cartomantic divination devices are described, which can be integrated by a card reader all by themselves, or blended with others. Divination with playing cards is the oldest kind of cartomancy known to man, and this work restores it to an accessible place of dignity and seriousness which can be utilized by all. Discerning readers will discover many treasures of occult wisdom hidden in the underlying metaphysics of the system described within this small but detailed work.
