The Magus in Clown Shoes: The Confessions of Michael Kelly, Vol. 4

In Volume 4 of his 'Confessions', Michael Kelly relates the events surrounding him from 2004 to 2017, bringing the story up to date.Beginning just after his departure from the Temple of Set, he describes how he formulated the Apophis curriculum of Draconian Magic, leading to the founding of The Apophis Club and the Apophis Academy. He also discusses his progress to Mastery in the Rune-Gild, leading to his current focus on the runes of the Younger Futhark and the preservation of the lore and practice of the Manx runes used by his own forefathers.Kelly describes many travels and adventures from this period, and presents several important papers which have never previously seen print, although the impact of their insights has shone through in his later work.He discusses how he became a writer and reshaped his world to match his dreams, Remanifesting time and again.There is much of magic, mirth and mystery in these pages, all told with humour, craft and cunning, concealing profound truths behind the words. Kelly remains ever the jester, the clown in the court of the king, who is nonetheless the true power behind the throne.
