"A New Classic. This is the best all-round book on Traditional
Witchcraft I have found. The writing is clear and lilting and the
research is strong. Ms. Oates gives the reader a peek into
Traditional Craft beliefs and covine workings in more depth than I
have ever seen elsewhere. I strongly believe that this book should
be on every Traditional Witch's bookshelf" - Sage Sorcerer The
Arcane Veil: Ten Discourses On The Craft And The History Of
Magic
"A True Classic. It has long been recognized by occultists and
determined Seekers . . . that as the 20th century reached its
troubled climax in giving birth to the 21st, many of the ancient
secrets would have to be revealed of necessity. In this book,
penned by one of those rarest of the rare, who has both sought &
found a true Well of the Wyrd from which to drink, all of these
secrets are firmly supported by the twin pillars of history and
Tradition. Shani Oates, as an active adept within the inner circle
of an authentic later day Mystery cult, preserves the inner
Mysteries while still providing the real substance which makes the
practice of the arcane arts a possibility to be actualized. She
does so by literally parting the veil, and as such, she adds her
name to the select roster of such rare authors as Paul Huson.
Even as I write, . . . esoteric schools are investigating,
maintaining, and teaching aspects of the ancient Mysteries that
would otherwise have already been obscured or lost forever, laying
buried beneath today's lamentable avalanche . . . empty fluff . . .
This book provides much needed material in the form of Ten
Discourses, all of which are composed delightfully while running
over with the real thing . . . Shani Oates does anything but "go
along" with this corrupting trend of foolish fantasy regarding the
Craft. Consider it mandatory reading for all Seekers who wish to
profit from rare and invaluable signposts along the often
treacherous winding and crooked Path of The Cunning Folk, this path
is the razor's edge itself in this, the Age of Iron, the time of
quickening or failure. Shani Oates proves an authentic guide across
a part of the sharp edge itself, from which so many topple
endlessly, left forever cleaved in twain falling forever within the
bottomless Abyss of error." Marcus L. Acacesius
