About the Authors

Sorita d'Este and David Rankine share a lifelong passion for the legends and myths of our ancestors, as well as for magic, mysticism and religion. They are amongst the most distinguished authors and researchers of the Western Esoteric Traditions today, specialising in the spiritual and magical traditions of Britain and Europe, as well as tracing the roots of some practices to ancient Egypt and Babylonia. They have collaborated on dozens of projects since 2000, including "Visions of the Cailleach" and "The Guises of the Morrigan".

They are well known for the many dozens of workshops, lectures and public ceremonies they have facilitated in the UK and Europe, to both large and small, public and private audiences over the years. In addition to the more than 20 books they have authored between them, they have both written hundreds of articles which have been published in international journals, magazines and partworks on subjects as far ranging as astrology and aromatherapy, to palmistry and paganism through to angels and qabalah.

They live and work in Wales (UK) which they think is one of the most magical countries in the world. See the Links section for details of their individual websites and other work. Many of their books are available at www.avaloniabooks.co.uk
