Hollowings: The Masks of Myth and the Path to the Unknown Region
What if myth was more than mere story? What if it was a living, breathing reality waiting just beyond the edges of perception?
In Hollowings, master magician and mythic explorer Michael Kelly unveils a revolutionary initiatory path—one shaped by the ten masks of the Unknown Region, first glimpsed in the works of Robert Holdstock. Drawing upon Celtic and Norse myth, deep dreamwork, and personal creativity, Kelly leads the reader on a profound journey into the mythic world, revealing powerful tools for vision, storytelling, and transformation.
This first volume of the Hollowings series focuses on the first four masks:
The Hollower—who opens the way, revealing hidden doorways into the unseen.
Gaberlungi—the storyteller, who weaves myths that shape reality itself.
Skogen—the ancient forest spirit, the root that binds all things together.
Lament—the singer of sorrow, whose music transcends time and loss.
By working with these masks, the initiate awakens unparalleled creative abilities—art, story, and song—all leading toward the deeper mysteries of the labyrinth and the mythic void beyond.
This is not a book of theory alone—it is a practical guide to living myth, with step-by-step methods for crafting, empowering, and using the masks in personal and magical work. Whether you are an artist, a seeker of hidden truths, or one who longs for the path that leads into the depths of legend, Hollowings will change how you see the world forever.
Step forward. The Unknown Region is calling.
