Description

An enduring classic since its publication in 1970, Mastering Witchcraft is one of the best how-to manuals for those wishing to practice traditional European Witchcraft as a craft rather than a New Age religion. Starting from first principles, Huson instructs the novice step by step in the arts of circle casting, blessing and banning, the uses of amulets and talismans, philters, divination, necromancy, waxen images, knots, fascination, conjuration, magical familiars, spells to arouse passion or lust, attain vengeance, and of course, counter-spells to exorcize and annul the malice of others. "A genuine vade mecum."-The Catholic Herald.

LibraryThing member witchcraft
How this book can be rated any lower than five stars is quite beyond me- this is the essential guide for anyone who is interested in witchcraft as opposed to the namby-pamby nonsense so often touted as "Wicca" by modern authors. Neither particularly pleasant nor apologetic, this is witchcraft,

warts an' all- if you're interested in its practice or indeed just the theory behind it then for heaven's sake find yourself a copy!

Seminal book of North American Neo-witchcraft. Popular among neo-traditionals, but entirely literary and constructed.
