From the publisher
As has been established by historians such as Dr. Carlo Ginzburg and Éva Pócs, the elements of the medieval Witches’ Sabbat contain relics of the ancient spirit cults and localized ‘pagan’ folk beliefs of Europe. Nocturnal spirit-flight, by which the participants of the Sabbat travelled to their revel, also contained such historical rudiments, notably the night-roving denizens of the Wild Hunt and the exteriorized or shape-shifted ‘spirit-double’. By Moonlight and Spirit-Flight, originally published as a monograph in 2013, examines such elements as the ancestral horde, the flight of the Furious Host, and the entheogenic Witches’ ‘Flying Ointment’, each of which played a unique role in the ‘flight’ of the medieval witches. The mythos of the Sabbatic conclave, containing infernal and diabolical elements, is taken beyond its Christian pathology to connect it with actual practices in folk-magic.

Verified ownerWhy is the witch in our modern society presented as flying on a broomstick? Where did this interpretation come from? In this book written by Michael Howard, a person will discover the true meaning of the witch flying through the sky on a broomstick. This review won't explain why, as there should be some mystery to concept and should discovered by the seeker on their own accord.
The Beginning of this book starts out with written historical evidence of witches whom traveled far distance to retrieve information, commune with the other, or to meet their fellow witches at the 'Witches' Sabbath'. The historical accounts are fascinating, which entails the christians at the time trying to figure out how witches traveled and for what purpose. One of the more fascinating accounts of the use of the flying ointment happened in the 1960's. Two individuals tried the ointment, one knew what the ointment was and its purpose, while the other, only knew the ointment was psychoactive. The two individuals wrote down their experiences not sharing their experience with each other. When the two people compared their written experience, they described the same flying sensation, landing on a mountain top, and dancing naked with other people.
Fascinating account in this person opinion. Rest of the book is about potential psychoactive compounds used in the witches flying ointment. If you are interested in the witches sabbath, and the use on entheogen in ritual, then this book is definitely for you!
