In the 1990′s Azure Green (a.k.a. Abyss Distribution) provided the underground with a way of receiving the work of young “Merlyn Stone,” the psuedonym for Joshua Free at that time. Several of these short manifestos became well-circulated classics while others were released primarily for members of private organizations. Two of them, the “Sorcerer’s Handbook” and the “Necronomicon of Merlyn Stone” were critiqued in Daniel Harms and John Gonce’s “Necronomicon Files” in 2001. Some of the materials were later re-edited as “Merlyn’s Magick” in 2005.
Most recently, the Truth Seeker Press has released a complete compendium of the chronicles of Merlyn Stone, available in one volume for the first time ever! “Merlyn’s Druidry” by Joshua Free is essentially a complete book of magick, nearly 500 pages and containing the texts from all of the Merlyn Stone discourses, both public and private released over the course of a decade!
Included are: “The Sorcerer’s Handbook” (1998, Merlyn Stone); “The Druid’s Handbook” (2000, Joshua Free); “Draconomicon” (1996, Joshua Free); “Crystalline Awakening” (1999, Merlyn Stone); “Upon Druid Hills at Midnight” (1996, Joshua Free); “The Pocket Book of Druidry” (1995, Joshua Free); “Necronomicon” (1999, Merlyn Stone); “Druids of the Necronomicon” (2005, Joshua Free), “The Elven Faerie Grimoire” (2006, Joshua Free); and “The Greenwood Forest Grimoire” (2006, Joshua Free).
