ABOUT THE AUTHORS
Sorita d'Este & David Rankine arc students and practitioners of
the Western Esoteric Tradition who live and work in Wales (UK).
Between them they have authored and contributed to more than 30
books on subjects related to mythology, magick and spirituality. This
book "Practical Elementnl Mngick" was written to compliment their very
popular "Practical Plnnetnry Mngick" published in 2006.
Both Sorita and David have lectured extensively on a wide range
of esoteric subjects and have facilitated workshops throughout the UK
and Europe. Since 2000 they have been working together in what has
been a very fruitful and colourful partnership, producing not only
projects such as this, but also a beautiful baby boy. In their writing
and other work together they draw from their experience in a number
of traditions, with their extensive research on a wide range of western
esoteric subjects including Qabalah, the grimoire traditions, Classical
Paganism of Greece, Rome and Egypt, British and other "Celtic"
mythologies.
