The Secret People
The Secret People: Parish-Pump Witchcraft, Wise-Women and Cunning Ways | Melusine Draco
6 posts | 2 read | 6 to read
Much of what passes for witchcraft today was everyday knowledge to our forebears, especially those who lived and worked in the countryside. Here were to be found practical household hints, remedies and family recipes that had been handed down from generation to generation, some still existing in the form of treasured journals and notebooks. There is, however, nothing fanciful or far-fetched about this information - in fact, The Secret People is a remembrance of times past and a preservation of parish-pump witchcraft, wise-women and cunning ways adapted for use in the 21st century. It may also go a long way in helping those present-generation pagans in search of an identity and answer the questions: Who ... what am I?

Now for a completely different NetGalley read. This is a collection of stories, lore, traditions, recipes, and history of the Celtic people from whom I'm descended. While it touches on witchcraft, it isn't a book of spells but more a book of age-old advice. I found it to be in the same vein as Diana Gabaldon's Outlandish Companion books.

These are the current #freebies on my #NetGalley shelf. I'm such an eclectic reader. #riotgram

Not that it relates to the books, but we are in the airport waiting on our plane home from vacation. I have NEVER seen a departure time be such a moving target as this flight. It has changed no less than ten times since 10am this morning. Sheesh! 😱

Cinfhen Oh no! Safe travels home 🏡 at least you have plenty of reads and MrB to keep you occupied ❤️ 8y
TieDyeDude I got an ARC of Radium Girls. I'm looking forward to reading that one! 8y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Cinfhen The flight was a breeze, once we left. Now riding home while Mr. B drives. Yay! 8y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @GoodForCirculation I'm looking forward to it as well! 8y
