{"product_id":"2940156885633","title":"Witchlore: Book I","description":"Although it cannot be hoped that any work be truly comprehensive, \"Witchlore\" seeks to bring together a large and eclectic mix of fascinating works upon the subject of witches and witchcraft. Some of the works included are sympathetic to witchcraft, some keep a scholarly distance, whilst one, namely, that of Matthew Hopkins, is murderously opposed. This first book opens with the classic \"Aradia, or The Gospel of Witches\" by C.G. Leland, followed by a large number of spells and incantations collected by that same author and published originally in the second part of his \"Etruscan Roman Remains in Popular Tradition.\" (Therein one finds such wonders as The Spell of the Boiling Clothes, The Spell of the Falling Star, The Spell of the Lamp, as well as information on ring sorcery, divination, omens, amulets, etc.) Other works included are by Walter Gregor, Oliver Madox Hueffer, M.A. Murray, J.A. MacCulloch, and Wallace Notestein. With such a diverse range of perspectives, it is hoped that this book will afford the reader with a rounded view of witchlore. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe contents to Book I are as follows: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAradia, or the Gospel of the Witches \u003cbr\u003eby Charles Godfrey Leland. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpells, Incantations, \u0026amp;c \u003cbr\u003eby Charles Godfrey Leland. \u003cbr\u003eI.
