  • First published in 1928, this book is a fascinating insight into the then-perception of ritual magic and Witchcraft. Olliver traces the beliefs and practices of magic from its origin s thousands of years ago in  the 'fearsome demonologies' of religions through the 'devil-infested atmosphere of the Middle Ages' to modern day metaphysics. He also examines - among other subjects - symbolism; ancient texts; sexual worship; sorcery; teh Sabbat; witch trials; vampirism; werewolves; divination; astrology; alchemy and black and white magic.

  • For everything that exists, there is someone, somewhere, who is deathly afraid of it.  Such as pupaphobia  (fear of puppets) ; biniphobia (terror of twins) and ecdysiaphobia (scared of strippers).  Even the rich and famous have their terrors:  Actress Betty Grable was terrified of crowds; Roger '007' Moore fears firearms (!)  and Daniel Radcliffe a.k.a "Harry Potter" can't stand clowns (coulrophobia).  A fascinating peek into our psyche that not only names our fears but explains them.
  • Hall's modern approach to natural healthy foods and medicines as well as conservation and anti-pollution makes this book perennial. Simply and clearly written, it tells all that you need to know about growing herbs and using them for health and beauty, flavouring foods, improving the soil and control of garden pests. It's about fresh herbs for the good life in a day and age of artificial favourings, preservatives and pesticides all doing their damage to our health and the natural environment. Potions and cures of ancient times still have value today: did you know that fennel can help you slim down? Or that yarrow and comfrey will halve your compost-making time? Mint can help soothe indigestion, and basil keeps flies out of the kitchen. Keep your roses pest-free with chives and ants will be repulsed by pennyroyal. Illustrated by Astra Lacis.
  • After the witch-hunts of the Middle Ages, it was believed that the tradition of magic was dead.  Instead, a network of secret societies kept the old beliefs alive.  The authors examine some of the famous - and infamous - magicians of the past 400 years:  Dr. Lamb, Eliphas Levi, W.B. Yeats, Dion Fortune and - of course - Aleister Crowley. This is an in-depth look at their lives, beliefs, organisations, weapons and rituals.  Who were the frauds?  And who were the genuine?
  • The author has collected together the most essential spells for every occasion in a full year of workings in the Craft.  As well as celebrating the Sabbats, Esbats and workings for other times in the lunar cycle, there are hints, tips and advice for the modern witch in the real world.  A good book for beginners or advanced practitioners seeking new ideas.
