“Prior information concerning the transition of beings
between worlds have mainly focused on the moments
when the Otherworld beings will come to inhabit the
surface world of Men. The story of Robert Kirk is
amazing because it chronicles a man who went into the
Otherworld, became an initiate of the Elven-Ffayrie
Tradition and returned able to share it. We are not
referring to anything like the use of guided meditation
or other “New Age” concepts – Reverend Robert Kirk
was able to physically access the Otherworld like no
other mortal in recently recorded history. What’s more,
he was able to gain access on repeated occasions, not
simply by happenstance or coincidence. He was even
allowed to keep a journal and sketch-diary of his adventures
and accounts. The legacy of Robert Kirk’s life and
work is so monumental for the modern pursuits and
studies of the Elven-Ffayrie that I am often wary of
resources that make no mention of these accounts, even
in passing.” (Excerpted from the Book of Elven-Faerie by Joshua Free)“Elemental or mortal transitions, as well as contact with any type of “nature spirits” requires appropriate conditions or circumstances as well as the ability to direct or channel large amounts of energy. During appropriate times, Kirk was able to return to the same ‘Faerie Howe,’ or hollow hill and gain entrance at will. I make mention of these things to entice you, for the story of Rev. Robert Kirk truly should begin, well, at the beginning…” (Liber-D)
[The Book of Elven-Faerie: Secrets of the Druids is perhaps the very genesis of the modern 'mardukite' movement, privately released by prolific writer, Joshua Free, in 2006. Within these pages you will follow the ancient traditions of Mesopotamia (Sumerian, Babylonian) as they evolve into the mystical, mythical and societal systems of Western Europe.]
“Robert Kirk was born in the year 1644, the seventh son
of an Episcopalian minister. Kirk later became a minister
himself, in his home parish of Aberfoyle (Perthshire,
Scotland.) While a devout Christian, Kirk was actually
interested and influenced by Faerie-lore his entire life,
though he was unable to accept “magick.” He did,
however, see the importance in preserving the magickal
and ancient Gaelic-Welsh language, and oversaw a
Gaelic translation of the Holy Bible, personally translating
the Psalms and Proverbs. Kirk’s missionary work
was like the Bardic Culdee of the past who preserved
the Celtic and Drwyd symbolism in the Book of Kells,
an “illuminated” manuscript of the Four Gospels in the
Gaelic language.” (Book of Elven-Faerie)“It is clear (to the present author at least) that Robert Kirk was never really intending on becoming a monumental “New Age” figure or advocate for the “occult” and ‘mystery traditions’ of the fey. In his writing, however, he does display at least a familiarity with archaic Hermetic-Gnostic and Rosicrucian doctrine, and makes references to such in “The Secret Commonwealth of Elves, Fauns and Faeries.” The nature of Kirk’s personal research is unclear, but it is likely that he would have had access to obscure manuscripts as an esteemed member of the Clergy. With a strict religious upbringing, he would have been reluctant to delve into metaphysical matters, and it comes as no surprise that his ‘pagan’ interests were a concern to his father.” (Liber-D)
[In Book of Elven-Faerie by Joshua Free discover how the most arcane practices actually shaped the beliefs of the western world and learn how mystical lineages of modern "folk magic" can be actually traced through the evolution of human civilization on the planet - all the way back to the ancient Anunnaki and becoming the practices of the Tuatha de Dannan (Tuatha d'Anu) and other Celtic Druid tribes.]
“The infamous “Faerie Howe” where Robert Kirk’s body
was eventually found, was a place that he had visited
frequently throughout his life. One day, Kirk actually
discovered, or rather was revealed, the entrance to the
“Faerieland Otherworld.” By means of a special knock
at the right times of month and day, Kirk would be
granted repeated access to the alternate dimension. In
his published accounts, except for the recently released
“Secret Lives of Elves and Faerie,” his private journals,
he does not always speak of these matters concerning
the Otherworld in first person. He prefers instead to
attribute these reports to those seers he has interviewed
as part of the research. His work was based on journals
from 1688-1692 implying four years of practical
“Otherworld Initiation” to compliment his research in
folklore.” (From the Book of Elven-Faerie: Secrets of the Druids by Joshua Free)““The Secret Commonwealth of Elves” was never published in its complete state, and was never in print at all during Robert Kirk’s lifetime. Some scholars believe that any first person references concerning mysticism, the Otherworld Tradition and the Elven-Ffayrie encounters themselves, were replaced as “accounts from seers” or edited out of the manuscript altogether before eventually being published into a Christian society as authored by a Christian minister. In spite of this, Kirk emphasizes and insists that there is no real conflict found between his own religious beliefs and what he comes to learn and experience concerning the Elven- Ffayrie. The only real contradiction emerges in the minds of Fundamentalist Christians who see these beings as demons and devils. Kirk even goes as far as to say that he feels that it is his mission to clarify the misconceptions concerning the fey among his Christian brethren.” (Liber-D)
[Ever popular in the underground, Book of Elven-Faerie includes the complete 'Druids of the Necronomicon' discourse with its corresponding "Grimoires" of Elven-Faerie and forest magick traditions, bringing a complete Elvish Tradition to the light of the mortal world for the first time in printed history.]
“It may very well be that the Antiquarian writers of
Robert Kirk’s time period, continuing with the Brothers’
Grimm, John Aubrey and Iolo Morganwg (to mention a
few) all felt that there was a part of folklore and the
Faerie Tradition hidden within, that was quickly disappearing
from contemporary society. More modern reconstructionists
like myself, Andrew Lang, R.J. Stewart and
John Matthews have felt the same in the sense that the
Elven-Faerie Tradition, as well as the legacy and involvement
of Robert Kirk as part of the tradition, must be
preserved without fail.” (Book of Elven-Faerie)“After a disturbing encounter in Faerieland concerning a chance episode with a solitary Dark Elf, Robert Kirk took it upon himself to seek out the city of the Unseelie Court and attempt to apologize for the rise in tension resulting from his appearance in the Otherworld. Apparently, he had not yet realized that by actually setting foot on the ground of the Dark Elves, he was in violation of the most severe of Unseelie laws. The Unseelie Court sentenced him to death, but the Seelie Court intervened and decided instead that Kirk should remain forever “prisoner” in the Otherworld. This permanent transition would still leave his physical body dead in the Middle World. He is allowed one night to set his affairs in order in the ‘Lands Above’ in good faith, of which he leaves his journals behind for his son, then returns for his sentence.” (Liber-D)
“Some time after Kirk’s death, he appears to a relative and claims that he will again appear at the Christening of her daughter. At that time, her husband is to throw a dagger at the apparition and if so, then the enchantment of the Faerieland would be broken and he could return to the Middle World. When the Christening came and Kirk appeared, those present were so astounded that they did not move to throw a dagger and so Kirk remained in the Otherworld. Years after, another attempt is made toward the family that resided in Kirk’s house at the time. They are informed by a vision of him to baptize their child in that room and stab a dagger in the seat of the chair where Kirk sat to write. If they did this, then he would be free again. Again, this is not tried and Robert Kirk is never freed, showing again that many folk still live in a dark age of ignorance where they cannot even come to conceive of that which they are forced to behold. Perhaps the Otherworld simply was indeed Kirk’s fate.”
