Traditional Witchcraft - A Cornish Book of Ways
Gemma Gary

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

Devon Witchcraft and Folk Ways
Sarah Hewett

This fascinating collection of West Country ‘old ways’ was originally gathered by Sarah Hewett as part of her book ‘Nummits and Crummits’ first published in 1900 at a time when many of the old Devonshire folk beliefs and practices were retained by living memory or even continued.

The selection presented here forms a veritable treasure trove of West Country customs, beliefs and magical practices including Witch charms for healing and protection, the casting and countering of curses, love divinations, seasonal superstitions and customs, omens and death tokens, dream interpretation, things lucky and unlucky, evil days of the year, weather lore and ‘wise saws’ and more.

Devon Witchcraft and Folk Ways will be a worthy addition to the bookshelves of those with an interest in regional folk beliefs, customs and magic.
