Welcome to The Mystic Masque, "The Veiled Mystic Mask", a group that researches 
all that their hearts find, which 
is mystical and magical in their surroundings.
 
We are based in South Cheshire, and visit mysterious sites across the UK, documenting them in Art and Poetry. We do go further afield though, into 
Shropshire, Staffordshire, Derbyshire and also the majestic Forest of Dean!
 
We research historic sites, myths, folklore, magical places, ghosts and people.
 
We are also avid practitioners of the Occult, Paganism, Ritualism, Qabala, 
Shamanism, Traditional Witchcraft, Folk Magic, Gnosticism, Christianity, 
Freemasonry, Druidism, Chaos Magic, etc - Whatever Our Souls Enjoy!
 
We often celebrate festivals throughout the year, and learn all about the 
mysteries of this World and the Next, through Ascension.
 
The following pages document some of the sites we visit with artwork 
and rhyme, and also some of our philosophies, putting our 
'mindscapes' and 'dreamtime' into poetry and artwork.
 
You will also find some Artwork Pages, The Sacred Repository 
containing favourite quotes, and some we have dreamt up ourselves, 
as well as Ghosts caught on film,
and Festivals, with rhyme and photos.

We also like to write articles about magical and mysterious things, 
so make sure you check out our History & Mystery Section, too!

He loves all knowledge, from the Occult, the Supernatural, Ghosts, Religious histories and hypothesis, Mythology and Mysteries to History;

Michael C Oakes
 

Michael C Oakes is an antiques, collectables and curios dealer, and he is an avid collector himself. Born and bred in a little rural village on the outskirts of Nantwich, Cheshire.
 
He is also known by his pseudonym 'Jarl'.
He says that it was given to him in jest by an 
old Heathen (Norse Pagan) friend. 
'Jarl' translates from Old Norse as 'earl'. 
 
In his spare time he is an artist, poet, photographer and craftsman. His artwork can be described as unique and unusual. His first published poem can be seen in the anthology 'Homage to Cheshire'.

As well as making pottery, from clay he digs himself and fires in a fire pit, he also involves himself in 
many other craft projects.
 
Michael is also a Pagan and a trained experienced practitioner of Folk Witchcraft. Which is a modern term for folk magic, charms and customs, in the tradition of conjurors, charmers, healers and the cunning folk of Britain.
 
His praxis also includes herbalism, ancestor veneration and hedge riding (from the Anglo-Saxon 'haegtessa'). His interests include history, hiking, archaeology, the paranormal, the occult, wildcrafting, wine making, nature, zombies and video games.

He also loves gardening, and has spent a lot of quality time attending to his plants, making his own stone circle, herb garden, and rearing the flora of the Earth.

He is a devoted husband to his Wife, Jess, 
and his three children; and three step-children; 
Jake, Drew and Aydan; 
and Alex, Poppy and Daisy.
