Axis Mundi: The Book of Spirits is a sourcebook for Werewolf: The Apocalypse that provides extensive detail on the spirits that Garou are likely to encounter.
Summary[]
Under the World Tree
Axis Mundi. The World Tree. The spiritual center of the world. The Garou know it well, for they must place themselves at the Tree, the center of creation, to work their rituals. And in the branches and among the roots, the spirits await, ready to assist those who speak the right words... or to punish those who walk the wrong path.
The Unseen Hosts Gather
