Course Instructor: Robin Artisson
Course Start Date: TBA “Upon the Rood-Day: The Witchcraft of Christsonday and the Queen of Elphen” is a 16 Week course in Traditional Witchcraft taught by Robin Artisson. This the first comprehensive course in Witchcraft ever taught by Robin personally, drawing upon and revealing many of his personal and private insights and methods of witching which have been refined by him over 25 years. This course includes a survey of Early Modern Witchcraft from Britain, focusing on the regions of Banffshire and Aberdeenshire in Scotland. This course analyzes the mysteries that emerge from the confessions of the historical Scottish witches Andro Man and Marion Grant, regarding the nature of the two beings they claimed gave them power: Christsonday, thought by many to be the Devil, and his mate the Queen of Elphen. Robin’s attempts to contact Christsonday in 2018 led to the creation of a private Grimoire and dream-journal called The Book of Jaudaret, the contents of which contain wonderful (and sometimes disturbing) revelations about the nature of spirits, this world, and instructions for certain sorcerous workings. Many of The Book of Jaudaret’s contents are being shared in this course as well. This course is delivered to students over 16 weeks in the form of 16 detailed written and illustrated course modules, videos demonstrating certain techniques and operations, and recorded lectures. Another optional component of the course is direct interaction with the instructor and other students in the FaceBook group for the course.
