Bounded in a Nutshell

Bounded in a Nutshell: Lockdown, Magic and Infinite Space is a magical diary of the Covid-19 pandemic, covering 2020 to 2022. Written at the time, as events unfolded worldwide, it charts the various lockdowns from the perspective of a witch drawing on her magical training and experience to cope with the situation, to protect, as far as possible, herself and her community, to learn from the situation and to seek guidance for the future. While largely confined to home, just like the rest of the population, the author embraces the present, yet travels in time and space by working with magical memories, history, folklore, fiction, plant knowledge and enchantments of various kinds. Thus, the diary offers a heady blend of observations, stories, spells, recipes, ritual and personal insights. It is one witch’s personal account of an extraordinary time, but it also shows the importance of the magical community, both locally and internationally, and how much can be achieved when practitioners pool their power and intention to work for a common end. We can be bounded in a nutshell physically, but there is no limit to how far our minds can travel and the enchantment we can bring to our own lives and the lives of those around us.

Troy Books are affiliated with the famous Witchcraft Museum in Boscastle, Cornwall, UK! Paul is British and his family name is Cornish and he has a deep love of Cornwall, its folklore, mysticism and magick. As a practitioner of Traditional Witchcraft, Paul was determined to carry Troy Books when he opened Artes and Craft with his wife Pat. He begged Troy Books to allow him to import them to the USA, which they did. Artes And Craft was the FIRST USA witchcraft and Wicca retailer to carry them. They are hugely important books, fluff free and scholarly, on pre-wicca cottage witchcraft, traditional cunning witchcraft and grimoire magick. Highly recommended!
