Entering the Blackwater: My New Grimoire of Swamps and Marshes

-

The swamp is not dead.

For years I’ve walked the edges of bog and marsh, listening to the silence, watching the way moss holds to stone, seeing lanterns of fireflies rise from blackwater. From these wanderings came my newest grimoire: The Blackwater Testament: A Grimoire of Mires and Marshes.

This book is not fantasy — it is built from the swamp itself. Inside are pocket charms woven from cattails, moss, and bone; spells that call upon mist, lantern-light, and drowned voices; and extended rites that last hours, nights, or even days. The swamp becomes not only setting, but temple and teacher.

You will find:

Cattail pouches of guarding

Moss bundles for dream-slowing

The Bog Body Binding for preservation

The Lantern Path Rite to guide what is lost

Storm rites, serpent skins, and drowned dead vigils


And at its heart, a stand-alone rite of Sinking and Return — a multi-day working where you give yourself to the swamp and rise again remade.

The Blackwater Testament is both mystical and practical: poetic enough to honor the mire, but clear enough to use in real practice. If you’ve ever stood in fog at swamp’s edge and felt something watching, you already know the voice that speaks in these pages.

The swamp remembers.

The Blackwater Testament is available now on Kindle and in paperback.

Goldroot Grimoire: Unlocking the Witch’s Treasury

-

  What does it mean to court prosperity as a witch? For many, money is treated as something mundane—earned, spent, feared, or chased. But to the witch, prosperity is more than currency. It is a living current, a cycle that can be called, rooted, and guarded with the same tools we use for protection, divination, or love. This is the heartbeat of Goldroot Grimoire: Spells of Money, Prosperity, and Power , the newest working book from Evander Darkroot. A Treasury of Spells and Rituals Unlike many books that skim the surface of “money magic,” this grimoire goes deep, offering a full system of prosperity craft. Within its 15 chapters you’ll find: Coin and candle spells for drawing income and anchoring it against loss. Herbal and rootwork charms with basil, cinnamon, High John, and more. Lunar and planetary workings to align prosperity with the tides of heaven. Water, wine, and honey spells that court abundance through sweetness and flow. Sigils in stone and soil ...

The Darkroot Séance: Rites of Spirits and Shadows

The veil leans thin, and silence grows heavy. October is upon us. I’ve written many books of shadow, but this one walks closer to the cold breath of the dead than any before. The Darkroot Séance: Rites of Spirits and Shadows is a grimoire of ghost-work — not a collection of tales, but a manual of practice. Within its pages you will find: Rites for summoning and dismissing spirits. The language of omens — how to read knocks, flickers, whispers, and dreams. Experiments with smoke, dice, thread, and voice. Standalone workings such as the Candle of the Silent Room, the Key of Hollow Doors, and the Bone Candle. Methods for cleansing haunted homes, honoring ancestors, and shaping the phantom body. A full master rite — The Darkroot Séance itself. This is a book for those who do not wish only to believe, but to practice. For those who would light the candle, close the circle, and wait for the whisper. The séance is not a trick. It is not a parlor game. It is a door. And this book i...

The Sigil of the Hidden Key

-

Not every door has a lock, and not every lock has a key. But there are moments when you need a sign, a shift, an unseen latch to click open. This sigil was made for those times. How to Use It: 1. Draw the sigil on a small piece of paper, wood, or stone. 2. Keep it with you when you’re seeking opportunity, clarity, or a way forward. 3. When faced with a choice or an obstacle, trace the sigil lightly with your finger and breathe once. Whisper: “Unlock.” 4. Fold the sigil and store it in a pocket or pouch. Notes: Works best when carried into situations of uncertainty — interviews, crossroads, negotiations, or decisions. Burn the paper when the path reveals itself.
