"The Resurrection of the Meadow" is described by the author as "A Record of Thirteen Occult Formulas & Charms of Art with Purport & A Sealing Conjuration & their many useful Sorcerous Permutations, Writ & Gathered on Walpurgis Night 2010, For those Inquisitive Adepts who walk The despised path of True Sorcery, The long-dimmed radiance of the Ancient Gold of the Wise." Found within this full, self-contained working grimoire is a system of sorcery relying on the ancient spiritual aesthetic of the Faery-Faith and the Metaphysics of Elfhame- interaction with the Unseen world through the vehicle of the spirit-forms or the fetch-bodies of non-human persons that are merged with the land around us. Steeped in folklore and a much older form of deep ecology, it is a powerful work of Art for the discerning occultist. The grimoire contains, among other things, full instructions for sealing and protecting the "Meadow" or sanctified outdoors locations, the "Feery Feast", the manifesting of the powerful "Weird of the Cairn", the creation of sacred interaction-points with the "Convocation of the Meadow" or Land-spirits, various Crossings, arboreal workings for harvesting and gathering sorcerous components from tree and plant weirds, charms of increase and fertility, and the creation of the fearful "White Mommet" for works of sympathetic magic.

Si tratta di una lettura molto breve. Comprende canti e istruzioni per determinati riti, dai più semplici e fondamentali (come la purificazione) a informazioni più elaborate, mantenendosi sempre sul filone del "libro per novizi". Di nuovo, Artisson ed io condividiamo una visione simile e, al contempo, opposta. Certe polarità dell'autore non fanno per me, eppure ne riconosco l'ottima impostazione che permette a un novizio non alle prime armi (insomma, che abbia già letto almeno un paio di libri e imparato a fare le cose base) di ampliare le proprie conoscenze.
