Description

Few examples of the manuals of the 19th century cunning folk survive, although these magicians were very much a vital part of British culture at the time.

This is the grimoire of William Dawson Bellhouse, a cunning man active in Liverpool and Leeds in the mid-nineteenth century who sought to transform lives with electricity and magic.

Enter a world of witch bottles, wax poppets, and spirit summoning…

A Complete System of Magic details practices and methods for such operations as charms, spells and rituals for healing, love, to return things lost or stolen, to discover thieves, protection from evil influences and malefic witchcraft, counter curses, and procedures for the conjuration of spirits and visions. Employed within these acts are such things as talismans, magical characters, words of power and the materia magica of plants and animals. Published previously as part of the Society of Esoteric Endeavour’s superb and highly sought after box set, this second edition by Troy Books features a new introduction, editing and extensive notes by Daniel Harms, along with a new foreword by Dr. Phil Legard.
