Masks of Misrule is Nigel Jackson’s study of the Horned God within British and European traditional witchcraft, folklore and myth. Jackson traces figures including Cernunnos, Herne, the Green Man, Pan, the Wild Hunt and the Lord of Misrule, connecting them with hunting, agricultural, arboreal and initiatory traditions.

The book also includes traditional-style rituals associated with the Horned One, making it part folklore study and part practical esoteric text. Originally issued by Capall Bann in 1996, it is now out of print and has become a sought-after title among collectors of traditional witchcraft and modern occult literature.
