Ecstacy in Shadow
The Assembly of the Sacred Wheel is one of my favorite magical organizations operating today, and combine the best elements of coven based craft with the work of a hard-core magical order. Amongst luminaries like Ivo Dominguez Jr., Michael G Smith and Helena Dominic are rising promising young Priestess-Sorcerers like Maggi Sett.
Sometimes, when it comes to mystical states and subtle planes, poetry and story can do more to explain the terrain than your typical non-fiction metaphysical book. This is the reason that Ecstacy in Shadow, Maggi Setti’s first book is such a treasure. In this book are 32 poems that explore her journey through the paths and spheres as an underworld journey. Even those that have some experience walking these paths will gain by seeing it through new eyes, in a particularly pagan context.
The second part of the book is an essay about the balance between order and ecstacy on the path, and the manner in which the contemplation of the signs and symbols of the Tree can impact your life and re-wire your mind.
