INTRODUCTION from The Stars Within the Earth
In the Western magical tradition, many have sought spiritual inspiration from above, associating starlight with enlightenment. Yet the stars can seem so distant, the divine so far from where we stand. Thank the Gods that we have poets, those who can lasso the stars and learn their secrets, who can reverse the act of Creation by turning light again into words. This is true magic.

You will find that this collection is full of magic. It manifests most apparently as rites, as liturgy, as directions for traversing other realms. In more abstract form it is the magic of transformation, such as is wrought by love. Love for both the mortal and the divine. Throughout this work there is alchemy at play, transmuting esoteric romance into passion that tangibly quickens the heart, and exposing the sacredness inherent in the profane. The message, in its myriad expressions, never fails to remind us that magic resides within us, just as the stars reside also inside the earth.

I have watched his work evolve, doing so in directions I would never have ventured. For over a decade (at the time of this writing), I have been stirred by the magic of Storm’s words, and, I hope, inspired him in turn. He has shared with me many dreams and visions that remain intimate between us, while others he has shared with the world, such as inspired him to take the name ‘Faerywolf.’ These poems are something in-between; magic released into the world for all to experience, and for every heart to have personal intimacy with.
