Beginning with God's curse upon Adam, Eve, the Serpent, and their descendants, the religion of Jesus Christ embraces a rich tradition of cursing and casting evil upon others, even if largely unacknowledged. The magic of hate and harm had a special place amongst the learned clergy, whose traffic with angels and demons is also known through the historical genre of grimoires, the so-called 'Black Books' of European necromancy.

Emerging from the shadowy religious and magical texts of medieval Europe, it was certainly considered expressly diabolic. To the ointment was attributed use as a poison, but it also possessed otherworldly magical powers: the power to enable shapeshifting, nocturnal flight, madness and frenzy, and commerce with the spirit world... effects often aligned with the Christian Devil. In fact, a common accusation of witches was that the ointment — or knowledge of its manufacture — was obtained from the Evil One himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBut ointments conforming to these contours pre-dated the witchcraft persecutions of the Early Modern era, medieval magic, and the Devil himself, dating back to classical antiquity and beyond.

Satan, as a figure of corruption and malice, belongs squarely within the Christian pantheon, and priests were empowered to exorcise him, sometimes using plants as weapons of spiritual warfare.

The Fetish, for example, arises at the nexus of a reciprocal process between Object and Creator that begins long before adzes and chisels are set to wood… thus participating in its own reification. Many of these eldritch forms of magical image-making were concerned with accessing power, and it was only later, in the context of religious devotion, that their forms densified into 'mere' idols. Yet witchcraft, with its stance as 'outlaw' to both religion and lawful magic, has never deemed such magic heresy.

Her servant, Isobel Imblaugh, testified she had seen her mistress have dealings with a spirit taking the form of a talking hare. Imblaugh said she had seen Philp put out a bannock, a jug of beer and a piece of meat for the sprite, and the next morning all was gone. On another occasion the spirit-hare allegedly entered the house through an open window and drank beer left out for it in a bowl. Far from an isolated account, magical traffic with such spirits was well-documented into the 19th century, when Highlanders left offerings of milk at prehistoric burial mounds and standing stones for the faeries known as brownies. Magical intercourse with fairies was but a small part of Scottish witchcraft belief, which also held that witches stole milk from their neighbours' cows, raised storms to drown those at sea they disliked, produced wasting diseases to make their enemies fall ill or die, keep a baby inside its mother’s womb beyond her normal term, and transform themselves into animal forms so they could roam the countryside causing mischief and mayhem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eScottish Witches and Warlocks\u003c\/em\u003e examines the folk beliefs and magical practices of early modern Scotland, constellated especially around witchcraft.

The witch’s power to harm people, livestock, and crops was greatly feared; for this reason country people consulted with so-called ‘cunning men’ and ‘wise women’ who had the power to negate their spells with counter-magic. Cunning-folk practitioners were also consulted for love spells, to find lost property or missing persons, exorcise ghosts and banish evil spirits. The figures of both witch and wizard form part of a broader folk-magic continuity in Wales.

The chief witness was a servant woman, Martha Hurrell, who claimed that she and a group of other people met regularly in various country houses to practice magic, together with a ‘conjuror’ or summoner of spirits described as a man ‘in black apparel with brown hair and a blackish beard.’ She was carried into the hall where the conjuror and other men ‘had the use of her body.’ The man in black ‘took up their coats’ and the women lay on top of him, saying afterwards that ‘he did them some good’. Hurrell also described how the group conjured up spirits by drawing a circle on the floor in their master’s hall and burning three candles, after which the group feasted and danced to the music of a fiddler. These rites, according to Hurrell, were ‘all of high and low order mingled together.’\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs much as it was a place of witchcraft, East Anglia also produced some of the more outspoken writers and authorities on ‘The Damned Art’. The sixteenth century Essex lawyer William Smith described the figure of the witch as ‘being deluded by a league made with the Devil through his persuasion and juggling and who thinkest she can design what manner of things so ever…’ This ‘manner of things’ according to Smith included the raising of storms to destroy crops and fruit trees and to be carried to another place by her familiar spirit who took animal form as a pig, calf or goat. Once at this ‘another place’ Smith said the witch spent the night hours ‘playing, sporting, banqueting, dalliance and diverse other devilish lusts and lewd disports…’ This was a reference to the so-called Witches Sabbath, a ritual more usually found in European accounts of witchcraft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn his fourth book in the \u003cem\u003eWitchcraft of the British Isles\u003c\/em\u003e series, Michael Howard examines the Craft of East Anglia, one of the richest areas of historical witchcraft and folk magic in England.

The historical approach examines the transformation these spirits have undergone as they migrated through different books and manuscripts over five centuries, constantly evolving with each recension into new forms and magical operations.

The Black Toad explores potent examples of the folk-ceremonial magical practices and witchcraft of the south-west of England; dealing especially with Devon and the author’s homeland of Cornwall.

As this book affirms, these ways of the Old Craft and Cunning Arte include a belief in and working relationship with the spirit forces of the land, the Faerie, animal and plant lore, as well as the magical use of Psalms to cure or curse, the invocation of Christ and the power of the Holy Trinity. “For all those who are interested in learning about the Old Path as it is taught and practiced today by West Country witches this book of practical magic and sorcery will be a revelation.

By using the two images of the Blackthorn and the Whitethorn as exemplars of this perceived duality and through working with the Spirits, Virtues and Powers of the Natural world, the author aims to overcome this illusion and work towards the development of the Witch as a whole and complete being. This is ultimately with the intention of gaining Understanding (Illumination), of themselves and their connections within the magical universe.

The spiritual energy which informs and powers this magic wells up from the land itself and from the Chalk and Flint which have shaped the landscape, its flora, its fauna, its culture and its history. This book therefore weaves a rich tapestry of herbs and creatures, of gods, dragons, Fair Ones and merfolk, of spells, rituals and seasonal devotions. It retells some of the old stories which shape the work of the Tradition and honours the ancestors who inspire it. Yet it is a book for the present moment, and shows how working closely with the land can be an integral and vibrant part of modern life. While the book is focused on Norfolk, the principles of the magic explored here are applicable anywhere in in the world. Thus, this book provides a valuable resource, both for those with an interest in Norfolk, and also for anyone seeking insights into natural magic, witchcraft and working with the power of the land.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Paperback\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 978-1-909602-38-0\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 234 x 156mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 378 text pages + 12 photo pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding \u0026amp; production:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Gloss laminate cover, 80 gsm cream paper stock\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Troy Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67746456469604,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/4935\/2548\/files\/image_5b6866a7-6062-41f4-a20c-1c17ff857456.jpg?v=1792297246"},{"product_id":"a-ring-around-the-moon-witch-rites-revisited-by-nigel-g-pearson","title":"A Ring Around The Moon: Witch Rites Revisited by Nigel G.

These rites were developed by the Coven themselves over a period of nearly a quarter of a century and give a fascinating insight into the actual workings of an initiate-only Coven. As the Coven itself has ceased practice and is no longer in existence, and a significant period of time has elapsed, the secrecy surrounding these rites may now be lifted and they are here offered as working examples, which other Covens may benefit from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ql-align-justify\"\u003eAs well as giving a brief, historical overview of the origins of the Coven and the parent group it derived from – which in itself is fascinating reading – the rites detailed cover devotional, magical and festive rituals, rites for the Greater and Lesser Sabbats, rites for the God and Goddess, rites of passage and workings for solitary practice. Wherever possible, background information is given, explaining the origins and inspirations for these rites and how and why they came to be written.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ql-align-justify\"\u003eIn addition, there are two appendices, detailing more unusual rites practised by the Coven.

Appendix II gives details of magical rites practised by an inner group of the Coven, working with ceremonial magic techniques and the Egyptian deities Isis and Ra.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ql-align-justify\"\u003eThere are many books around these days, dealing with the rites of modern Witchcraft, but very few are written from an initiated insider’s point of view.
