Cornwall has long been home to the Craft of the working Witch. Through the decline in Cornish Witch beliefs, much of the ways of those practitioners, consulted for their abilities to counsel, conjure, cure and curse have been preserved, and, in some cases, continued. In this haunted landscape where the influence of the ‘unseen’ and the potential for supernatural harm are still very real and ever present concerns, the trade of the Cornish Witch never entirely went away for the services of Witch, Charmer, Conjuror and Pellar are still sought by ordinary folk today.
Traditional Witchcraft, a Cornish Book of Ways explores a fascinating collection of preserved Traditional, established ways and new innovations relating to the rites, spells, charms, working tools and magical recipes of the Cornish Craft. This book covers such areas as the gathering and use of land sprowl, the Cornish spirit world, Bucca, gathering and fashioning the tools of the Cornish Craft, conjuring the Compass, celebrating the Troyl, working with places of power, Crafting powders, suffumigations, oils and charms, working with the moon, celebrating the Cornish ritual year and more.
"It was well worth the wait and I read it at one sitting!" "Highly recommended."
