The Dark Path
There are paths that few dare to walk. They lead through crossroads at midnight, past the iron gates of the cemetery, and into the deep places where the living and the dead keep silent company. These are the paths of pacts, of promises made by candlelight, of bargains struck in the language of smoke and shadow. They are not the softened ways of storybook magic, but the living roads of those who work with the spirits directly, without fear or pretence.
The Dark Path book series was written to make this magic alive and practical, to take it out of the safe confines of the page and place it in the hands of those who would truly use it. In these volumes, the reader finds the tools to work with the real currents of the unseen world. The Dark Path opens the first gate, leading into the heart of spirit-work and the discipline of the old ways. Witchcraft Reimagined strips away the ornaments of modern invention to reveal the raw, sovereign power of the witch as it was always meant to be. The Midnight Necromancer walks boldly into the city of the dead, where graves become doorways and every offering is a conversation with the other side. Grimorium Malefica Silvestris (The Grimoire of Wild Witchcraft) turns its gaze to the deep green mysteries of the wildwood, where dream and waking life entwine, and the witch steps between worlds in the company of spirits both feral and familiar.
This is a journey for those ready to step away from the well-lit roads and into places where magic has weight, consequence, and a living voice. These books are both map and lantern, guiding the reader along the dark path with clarity, courage, and respect for the forces they will meet along the way. In their pages, magic is not a performance but a lived reality, bound by oaths and fed by fire. For those who feel the pull of the night air at the crossroads, the quiet beckon of the graveyard, the wild whisper of the forest, and the thrill of the unknown, the dark path awaits.

The Dark Path: Thirteen Moons of Forbidden Witchcraft is not a book of soft spells or sweet promises. It is a map for those who dare to step away from safe roads. Thirteen moons, thirteen rites, thirteen chances to break every chain, ignite every hidden flame, and claim the fullness of your own power. Inside, there are no rituals for show, no magic meant to impress others. These are spells that must be done. Knots that must be tied and burned. Pacts that must be made beneath the open sky, at the crossroads, in cemeteries, forests, and forgotten streets where witches have always worked unseen. You will not find elaborate tools or ornate ceremonies. You will find bare hands, steady breath, quiet steps, and fierce, unstoppable results. This is the book for those who are ready to stop waiting, for those ready to act, for those willing to work in secret, to blend in, to strike only when the moment is right. It is for those who seek freedom, not fame, for those who value success over attention, for those who know that the greatest power has always belonged to witches who work in the dark, in silence, in shadow. If you are ready to step onto the path that does not end, this book waits for you. But once you begin, there is no way back.
In the stillness of the graveyard, something ancient stirs. Beneath the silence lies a current of presence, of memory, of power. The Midnight Necromancer is a guide for those who feel the call of the dead, not as something to fear, but as a path to walk with devotion, reverence, and fire. Rooted in the sacred traditions of Quimbanda and Afro-Brazilian spirit-work, this book is a deep and practical initiation into cemetery magic. It teaches how to collect graveyard dirt, build spirit altars, commune with Exu and Pomba Gira, and walk between the worlds with clarity, care, and courage. With over a dozen richly written chapters, it reveals the ethics, rituals, tools, and truths of working with the dead, not as symbols, but as companions. This is not a book of fantasy or fear. It is a book of presence. Of truth. Of the fire that burns in silence. For those who walk the midnight road, who light candles in the dark, who remember the names others have forgotten, The Midnight Necromancer is your guide, your mirror, your companion on the path of cemetery witchcraft.
WITCHCRAFT REIMAGINED is not a book for beginners. It is a book for the ones who already know something is missing. For the witches who are tired of pretending that spell jars and good vibes are enough. For those who have felt the spirits watching, waiting, calling - and who are ready to answer. Written by a long-term practitioner who has worked with spirits, walked the graveyard, made pacts, and kept them, this book is a fire lit in defiance of everything witchcraft has been turned into. It tears down the soft illusions of New Age fantasy and rebuilds the witch on the foundations of power, risk, consequence, and deep relationship with the unseen. Across thirteen chapters, it speaks of real tools and real spirits, of dirt and knives and bones, of cleansing that burns and offerings that cost. It tells the truth about the witch who does, not dreams. This is a book that speaks to the soul of the serious practitioner. The one who knows that power is earned. That spirits listen when they are fed. That the pact must be honoured. And that the fire of witchcraft, once lit, will burn through everything false.
The Grimoire of Wild Witchcraft is a book of quiet power and remembered ways. It is not a guidebook but a companion. A collection of rites and workings drawn from the edges, where the witch walks alone, where the spirits speak low and the thread is always pulling. These are spells that do not ask. They mark. They stir. They name what is already moving beneath the surface. You will find charms for desire, silence, justice and transformation. Rites of unmaking and remaking. Offerings to spirits who do not wear crowns but walk barefoot beside you. This is witchcraft woven from old ways still breathing, ways carried in the body, the land, the dream. You will find workings for all manner of need. Spells to whisper, to bury, to burn, to bind. Each one shaped by lived practice and crafted for those who work in silence as much as in speech. Some will watch over you. Some will ask more than you expect. This is a book to return to. To roughen. To forget and then remember. The work begins where the words leave off. And the rest is between you and the path.
