A History of Witchcraft
This illustrated book describes the practices and mysteries of witchcraft and cunning in the Hastings and Bexhill area of East Sussex - and the wider story of inquisition, examination, torture and execution of many so-called witches.
Â
It looks at Fallen Angels, The Book of Tobit, Jack in the Green, Shape-shifting animals and witches' familiars, the problem of Ergot, the laws against witchcraft, trials and punishments, notorious esoteric books of spells and curses, cunning folk and herbalism, the Druids and Wicca - both organised and eclectic.
Â
It also confirms the positive aspects of modern witchcraft as a thoughtful nature-based way of thinking and living.
Â
Cases mentioned are in Hastings, Bexhill-on-Sea, Rye, Brede and further afield in Sussex, Essex, Lancashire and Scotland.
Shape-shifting to be a Hare
Â
This is the first in a series of books taking you from human to animal through imagination.
Â
Imagine waking one spring morning as a brown hare.
Â
Your hearing is sharper than ever before. Your eyes watch almost every direction at once. Every scent drifting on the breeze tells a story, while every shadow may conceal danger.
Â
Inspired by philosopher Thomas Nagel's famous question, this beautifully illustrated book invites you to imagine the world through the eyes of one of Britain's most remarkable wild mammals.
Â
Combining natural history, behaviour, folklore and imagination, it offers a fresh way of understanding the lives of brown hares—and perhaps our own relationship with nature.
Â
The book is for all those who practice Wicca and Witchcraft - but also for anyone who loves wildlife and the conservation of Nature. An ideal gift for birthdays, festivities and friendship.
Hares and the Witch: Warning – Contains the Trial of Issobell Gowdie
Hares are magical creatures - jinking, freezing, running, bearing their young in the open - and these are the characteristics most admired by those who wished to be shape-changing witches. Our book contains adult themes. We look at how English and Scottish witch trials revealed the amazing depth of involvement of women in shape-shifting and devil worship.
