"Storm Faerywolf writes so that we can understand, use, practice, and be informed in specific active magical work. The words grimoire (medieval), gramarye (poetic romantic), and grammeree (folkloric term for magic) are all derived from a root word that becomes grammar. While the grammar of grimoires was often incomprehensible, the grammar of this book is clear. It describes what can be done, tells you how to do it, and what you might experience from doing it...even if it is not what you would expect. There is enough grammeree here to last the magical practitioner a long time. Take that step of abandonment into these forbidden mysteries, and you will not regret it."—R. J. Stewart, author of The Living World of Faery
"What strikes me about Storm Faerywolf's work in the Craft is that it is highly innovative, yet still stands firmly in the Feri tradition. This book continues his personal work of holding tension between innovation and tradition."—Anaar, Grandmaster of the Feri tradition and archivist for the Victor & Cora Anderson Archives
"Storm Faerywolf's Forbidden Mysteries of Faery Witchcraft provides a unique, compelling, synergistic, and deliciously 'edgy' view of the Faery Tradition and Witchcraft. He gives considerable attention to primal and chthonic aspects of both traditions and how they marry within his practice, especially working with the underworld...His exercises provide the reader with a means to encounter their reflection in the darkness, so they may unearth what is hidden, till what is fertile, encounter what is powerful, and engage with the enchanted. Such treasures are surely forbidden mysteries!"—Orion Foxwood, author of The Faery Teachings
"Storm has gifted the occult community with yet another treasure box of tools. But far from a dry primer, this book is a poetic dance through the most powerful work of Witchcraft leaving the reader ready to inhale the art of Magick."—Courtney Weber, author of Brigid: History, Mystery, and Magick of the Celtic Goddess
"Forbidden Mysteries of Faery Witchcraft artfully explores and constructively illuminates the often-misunderstood shadow aspects of Witchcraft. Weaving myth, poetry, history, and ritual, Storm guides the reader through the liminal realms of our multifaceted world. In the darkness, we encounter divine beings, elemental spirits, the Mighty Dead, and the keys to understanding ourselves and claiming our own power. With practical exercises, Storm lays out essential tools that a Witch needs to experience magic and these mysteries on their own. Those seeking to deepen their practice will definitely be both challenged and inspired."—Laura Tempest Zakroff, author of Sigil Witchery and The Witch's Cauldron
