Sorita d'Este

About me:

Greetings!!! I am an esoteric researcher, author and Priestess who works towards manifesting my knowledge of the wisdom of the ancient world into the modern age through my work. My areas of expertise include the western Esoteric Traditions, European Mythology, British Folklore and the Grimoire Tradition; with particular passion for the magic and mystery of the Seven Wandering Stars, Graeco-Egyptian Magic and the Goddess Hekate. I am a double-Sagittarius (Moon & Sun) born in Cape Town, South Africa overlooked by the majesty of Table Mountain into a family with English and Italian origins, my cultural heritage as a result is quite a mix! I was introduced to the Romantic Poets at a very early age, which conjured up a mythical world of Gods and Heroes, that combined with out-of-body experiences as a child lead me down pathways of psychic, dream and astral explorations and eventually onto Alexandrian Craft, and a variety of other traditions within the western esoteric traditions. I moved to London in 1995 and in 1999 met my now husband, the occult author David Rankine, in The Atlantis Bookshop, a year or so later we formed a very creative and productive partnership which continues on today. Between us we have authored more than 30 books during the last ten years, facilitated numerous workshops, courses and given lectures throughout the UK and Europe. We have co-authored books such as Practical Planetary Magick, Hekate Liminal Rites, Visions of the Cailleach and The Isles of the Many Gods during this time. My own recent projects include HEKATE HER SACRED FIRES - see http://www.sacredfires.co.uk for details.
