“I Call the serpent of the land,
Awake, arise from your stead,
By dragons red and white,
By crow, by toad, by leaping hare,
Awake in me O serpent’s breath!”

Witchcraft and magic have been with humanity from our beginning. Beyond all that we as a species are, these have remained because they work. And because they work, Traditional Witchcraft remains vital today.

This is the third in the Geassa series of books, a compendium of techniques rooted in Traditional Witchcraft that combine ancient pagan, Hermetic and cunning folk teachings into a powerful system of practical magic. Detailed rituals, spells, and formulae are presented including:

• Summoning the Serpent’s Breath in preparation for ritual.
• House spirits & protective magic.
• A detailed list of planetary and zodiacal sigils, seals and the spirits involved.
• Traditional talismans & amulets for a variety of uses.
• Mirror magic – including mirrors of revealing, enchanting & repelling.
• Scrying & Crystal Gazing.
• The Art of Fascination & the Glamour.
• Candle & Cord magic in Traditional Witchcraft.
• Necromancy – the art of summoning the dead.
• Prosperity magic.
• Seasonal and Full Moon Rituals.
• A listing of different incantations, Words of Power and much more.

Fully documented, including over ninety illustrations, this book gives in depth instruction into the techniques of practical Traditional Witchcraft.

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!
