The Magic of the Horseshoe

With Other Folklore Notes

1899 Facsimile Edition

This charming exploration of traditional magical lore takes, as its starting point, the magical uses and traditions of the horseshoe, tracing its significance through ancient cultures, and its association with magical traditions of horns, the moon, and the serpent – all with a central focus upon the magical work of protection.

Explored also are the magical virtues of fire, iron and salt, and a wealth of charms, amulets, spirit lore, animal lore, superstitions and numerological folklore.

The Magic of the Horseshoe will be a classic and valuable resource for the practitioner of traditional and folkloric operative magic.

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!
