We get lost in the woods with Hansel & Gretel to find a trail that leads from magical initiation, to treasures of alchemical & hermetic Qabalah, and finally to the perilous land of Faerie. We veer into realms of Celtic witchcraft, fairy lore, and current socio-political activist magic! Do you dare embark on the path?
