  Bright From the Well by Dave Lee

  978-1869928-841, £10.99

  'Bright From the Well' consists of five stories plus five essays and a rune-poem. The stories revolve around themes from Norse myth - the marriage of Frey and Gerd, the story of how Gullveig-Heidh reveals her powers to the gods, a modern take on the social-origins myth Rig's Tale, Loki attending a pagan pub moot and the Ragnarok seen through the eyes of an ancient shaman.

  The essays include examination of the Norse creation or origins story, of the magician in or against the world and a chaoist's magical experiences looked at from the standpoint of Northern magic.'

  'Dave Lee coaches breathwork, writes fiction and non-fiction, blends incenses and oils, creates music and collages'

  Pleasure, Freedom and Power by Julian Vayne

  Enter the world of the occultist: where the spirits of the dead dwell amongst us, where the politics of ecstasy are played out, and where magick spills into every aspect of life.

  * The Tantric use of Ketamine.
