The Hollow Is Never Empty – Announcing The Hollow Effigy

-

In the rusted silence of fields, in the forgotten watch of scarecrows, in the shadows that walk with us at dusk — there lies the effigy. It has always been with us. Husk and rag, bone and wax, clay and ash.

I am proud to announce my latest book, The Hollow Effigy: A Manual of Straw, Bone, and Shadow.

This is not a book of comfort. It is a manual of absence, a mirror of what we fashion from silence and what silence gives back. Within its pages you will find:

Pocket Charms: Small companions crafted from straw, ash, bone, wax, and clay.

Rites of Fire and Burial: The burning of husks, the interment of doubles, the dismissal of shadows.

The Watchers: Effigies that stand in silence, guarding fields and thresholds.

The Vessel and the Curse: Effigies filled with spirit, or raised as doubles of the living.

The Archive of Ashes: What remains when the hollow is burned away — and what lingers still.


Effigies are more than symbols. They are vessels, mirrors, curses, and guardians. They are both fragile and enduring. And above all, they remind us that emptiness is never truly empty.

The Hollow Effigy is now available through my author page, alongside The Darkroot Séance and other volumes of shadowed craft. For those drawn to folklore, grimoire, and the darker paths of ritual, this book will serve as both manual and mirror.

The hollow remains. It always has. It always will.

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.
