Of Angels, Demons and Spirits: A Sourcebook of British Magic, Harms, Clark

Description: FOR A SPIRIT THAT WALKETH, AND DOZENS OF OTHER SPELLS FROM AN UNKNOWN CUNNING MAN A magical miscellany from the collection of an anonymous benefactor, received in Oxford's Bodleian Library in 1634 Discovered among the antiquarian stacks of the Bodleian Library, this authentic work of seventeenth-century English magic has been meticulously transcribed and anno- tated by Daniel Harms and illustrated by James R. Clark, who previously collaborated on the bestselling Book of Oberon. With a comprehensive introduction, annotations, and more than one hundred fig- ures and illustrations, this beautifully reconstructed historical work is filled with nev- er-before-published rituals for calling forth demons, fairies, elementals, and other spiritual beings. This elegantly bound book provides new insights into a fascinating tradition, where a sorcerer or cunning man was paid to perform magic for uncover- ing theft, combating witchcraft, hunting for treasure, healing, or bidding a spirit to fulfill one's commands. Additionally, the unknown scribe who created the manuscript included brief excerpts from other important magical sources as well as several lists of spirits, some of which specify spirits not mentioned in other published materials. As an additional feature, this deluxe edition retains the red type found in the orig- inal manuscript to emphasize keywords. With more than fifty spells and extensive annotations and appendices for contemporary practitioners and collectors, this is an essential work of magic from a unique and compelling source.
