Beschreibung
This illustrated book describes the practices and mysteries of witchcraft and cunning in the Hastings and Bexhill area of East Sussex - and the wider story of inquisition, examination, torture and execution of many so-called witches. It looks at Fallen Angels, The Book of Tobit, Jack in the Green, Shape-shifting animals and witches' familiars, the problem of Ergot, the laws against witchcraft, trials and punishments, notorious esoteric books of spells and curses, cunning folk and herbalism, the Druids and Wicca - both organised and eclectic. It also confirms the positive aspects of modern witchcraft as a thoughtful nature-based way of thinking and living. Cases mentioned are in Hastings, Bexhill-on-Sea, Rye, Brede and further afield in Sussex, Essex, Lancashire and Scotland. There is also a chapter on how universities and other academic organisations are researching the history of witchcraft. A Reading List and Gazetteer are prodvided - and a section about the author and his other published books.
