<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Taking
its name from the lost ‘black book’ of a famed Cambridgeshire witch, as well as
plots of land sacrificed unto the spirits and the Old One himself, Nigel
Pearson’s ‘The Devil’s Plantation’ guides the reader through the traditional
witchcraft, old magic and folklore of East Anglia.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This
is an ancient landscape, and a melding pot for the beliefs, culture and magic
of the various peoples who have inhabited it over its long history. And yet,
until very recently, East Anglia has been a land ‘set apart’ and isolated
amidst impassable marshes, Fens and uncleared Forests. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Thus
East Anglia is a landscape in which ‘the good folk’, land drakes, land wights,
meremaids, giants, spectral hounds, saintly miracles, wort Cunning, toad lore,
folk magic and indeed witchcraft have been nurtured and continue to play a part
in the lives of the people of what has aptly been named ‘Witch Country’.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Traditional Witchcraft - A Cornish
Book of Ways is a 21st century version of traditional Cornish witchcraft, of
the kind recorded by Hunt, Bottrell and others. This is no neo-pagan or modern
wiccan manual, but rather a deep drawing up into modern times of some of the
ancient practices of lore and magic practiced by the white witches, charmers,
conjurers and pellars of the Cornish villages. Their presence was still current
when the 18th and 19th century antiquarians and collectors recorded them, and,
although the 20th century largely put paid to their activities, nevertheless
their lore never completely disappeared, and it continues to provide
inspiration for practitioners today. Gemma draws on this knowledge, not only
from published material, but also from the experiences and workings of ‘wise
women’ and country witches living today.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b>Published on Jun 12, 2015</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
The operations of magic and<br />
witchcraft deal with the hidden worlds of spirit and the powers innate within<br />
the natural world; within plant, stone and magical loci. The ‘Old One’, who in<br />
folk tradition is often named ‘The Devil’ embodies both the ‘rend in the veil’<br />
and the spanning bridge between the worlds of the material and spiritual, the<br />
revealed and the hidden. It is through union with this entity that witches and<br />
folk magicians gained access to the powers that reside within the hidden realms<br />
and the natural world, and could awaken the potent fire within.<br />
<br />
In traditional folk belief, the Devil existed also as an embodiment of the<br />
chaotic forces of nature; a belief quite distinct and separate from that of the<br />
Church with its ‘Satan’ figure. To the witch, he might also represent the<br />
‘darker’ aspects of the divine; the keeper and the revealer of the divine<br />
light, the psychopomp guide of souls, and the sentinel at the threshold unto<br />
the mysteries of death and the Otherworld.<br />
<br />
Something, it would seem, of the ‘elder divinity’ and the old ‘spirit of the<br />
wild’ has lingered through to the present; permeating regional faery lore, the<br />
calendar of ritualistic seasonal folk-customs, and traditions attached to<br />
ancient landscape features. The themes of untamed, wild nature; its freedom,<br />
its spirits, its power and its magic, so repugnant and threatening to the<br />
Church, were grafted onto the diabolical; affording yet greater preservation of<br />
the Old One for those who sought to stray from the path of limitation and<br />
conformity, and tread instead the hidden ways of the witch and magician.<br />
<br />
Historical witch-lore records varied rites of initiatory contact, via which the<br />
worker of magic and witchcraft entered into a close, working relationship and<br />
union with the Old One and the spirit world. Via such union, would the ways<br />
unto curing ailments, exorcising ill influence, the attainment of desires, and<br />
the destruction of the oppressive be known, and the old artes of the circle,<br />
the spirits, the knotted cord, the pierced candle, the witch-bottle, the<br />
magical image and the spoken, inscribed and herbal charms be mastered.<br />
<br />
From this wellspring of inspiration ‘The Devil’s Dozen’; a modern ‘gramarye’,<br />
or ‘black book’ of thirteen Craft rites of the Old One has been created and is<br />
offered by a present day initiate of the ‘Old Craft’<br />
<br />
Within its pages there are to be found thirteen rites – for both the ‘lone’<br />
practitioner and the assembled companie – of vision, sacred compact,<br />
dedication, initiation, consecration, empowerment, protection, illumination,<br />
union, transformation and devotion.<br />
<br />
‘They are my own creations all; given in hope that they may provide usefulness<br />
or inspiration, and each a personal offering of devotion unto the starlit and<br />
smoking altar of the Old One’ (from the introduction).<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Levannah
has been working as a witch for over thirty years and for most of that time has
lived in Devon, in the south west of England with a wealth of magical
traditions which are still observed in some of the more rural areas, it has
shaped her witchcraft over the years and made it what it is. Magic is something
that should be lived. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Much
of the magic in this book is about apparently simple things, it is the author’ belief
that these things, experienced with all the senses, and done with intent, can
be deep forms of magic and have the most profound effect, and be just as
powerful as complex rituals, if not more so. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Levannah
was fortunate to have two wonderful magical teachers: Hereward Wake, had a lifetime’s
experience of both witchcraft and ritual magic which he shared generously
teaching how to worship the gods in ritual and how to voyage into the spirit
world; how to look and to listen and to work with the hidden senses; when to
act and when to be still and do nothing. The other, Cecil Williamson, who
founded the Museum of Witchcraft, spent his life learning the ways of the
traditional witch. He taught about the old witchcraft that was used in Devon:
spells, charms and a myriad of ways of interacting with the spirit world.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The
aim is for this book to be used rather like a recipe book to create your own
magic and that it will help you to develop your own ways of working. It
contains simple but profound magical techniques and plenty of practical
projects for you to take and let the spirits guide you to make your own magic.
You do not need any specialist art or craft skills, just enthusiasm,
dedication, and a desire to work magic. A visiting witch once commented
jokingly that a meeting of Levannah’s coven resembled an alternative Women’s
Institute meeting, and she has always rather cherished that description. This
book aims to pass on this experiential approach to witchcraft. All the craft
and making activities described in this book are reasonably safe and they have
been tried and tested, they are intended for adults.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
