a gentleman of the old school and a highly talented sorceror. His
idiosyncratic practice of feral sorcery, has been born out of stalking
the boneyards of East London. He is utterly committed to his path,
to the extent of sacrificing his life and health, as his essay on
Tiamat reveals.

Tony
Elliott
Tony is a solitary witch, aspiring artist and writer. His highly
personal practice has an authenticity often lacking in those following
more structured witchcraft paths. He has a very physical practice,
anathema to the modern mall-witch. This is his first published piece
and deals with his intense relationship with his Goddess. We hope
including this essay will inspire other solo workers in pursuit
of their own visions.
