David Rankine is an author, esoteric researcher and magician who lives in Spain with his wife, artist and tattooist Rosa Laguna. He has been making major contributions to the modern occult revival since the 1980s through lectures, workshops, presentations, articles, and books.
His esoteric expertise covers a wide range of topics, including the Western Esoteric Traditions, especially the Qabalah, the Grimoire tradition, Greco-Egyptian magic and Ceremonial Magic, as well as British Folklore and European Mythology.
His published work in recent years has been characterised by the publication of previously unavailable or inaccessible material on the grimoires and other areas of magic.
David Rankine's two-volume opus, The Grimoire Encyclopaedia is without doubt one of the greatest achievements in 21st century occultism to date. Aside from this magisterial work, David has authored a catalogue of books that must be seen to be believed:
