Details
Forbidden Mysteries of Faery Witchcraft by Storm Faerywolf opens the door into the darker currents of the Feri (Faery) Tradition of Witchcraft — shadow work, necromantic practice, spirit possession, the art of cursing, and work with underworld goddesses. Faerywolf holds a black wand in the Feri Tradition and writes from the inside, making this essential for intermediate to advanced practitioners seeking to deepen their craft beyond the introductory level.

The Dark Side of the Craft
Storm Faerywolf holds a black wand in the Feri Tradition, a lineage developed by Victor and Cora Anderson that has influenced much of modern witchcraft through practitioners like Starhawk. In Forbidden Mysteries of Faery Witchcraft, Faerywolf turns his attention to the parts of the craft that most books either skip entirely or handle badly: necromancy, shadow integration, divine possession, offensive magic, and the primal underworld goddesses of the elemental powers.
The book is not an introduction to Faery Tradition. It is an expansion into its darker territories, written for practitioners who already have a working foundation and want to go deeper. Faerywolf's approach is distinguished by its clarity and responsibility. He presents these techniques as tools for self-mastery and spiritual sovereignty, not as rebellion or shock value. The Grandmaster of the Feri Tradition, Anaar, writes that the work "continues his personal effort of holding tension between innovation and tradition," which is exactly what distinguishes this from sensationalist occult literature on similar topics.
What the Book Contains
The book is organized into four parts: The Dark Fae covers the relationship between witches, fae, and death; Beyond This Life includes necromancy and the Rite of the Seven Jars; The Demon Work covers elemental goddesses and shadow demons; and The Forbidden Rites addresses possession and offensive magic. Each section includes practical exercises, spells, and rituals that build on each other. An appendix of basic concepts supports readers who encounter unfamiliar Feri terminology.
How to Use Forbidden Mysteries of Faery Witchcraft
How to approach Faerywolf's advanced Feri Tradition practices responsibly and effectively.
-
Build the Cosmological Foundation
Read Part One before attempting practical work. The Dark Fae chapters establish the cosmological framework for what follows. Understanding the relationship between witches, the fae, and the underworld makes the later ritual instructions coherent.
-
Work the Exercises in Sequence
Work through the exercises in order rather than skipping to specific rituals. Each section builds on the previous one. The appendix on basic concepts is a useful reference when you encounter unfamiliar Feri Tradition terminology during practice.
-
Integrate Between Sessions
Approach the shadow work and necromancy chapters with patience and self-awareness. Faerywolf emphasizes self-mastery over performance. Take notes after each working and allow adequate time between intense practices to integrate what surfaces.
The Tarot Fellow Standard
I stock this book because Faerywolf writes about genuinely difficult magical territory without either sensationalizing it or watering it down. If you've read the lighter introductions and want something that takes shadow work and underworld practices seriously, this is worth adding to your library.
