Book of English Magic
Book of English Magic | Richard Heygate, Philip Carr-Gomm
10 posts | 3 read | 3 reading | 12 to read
Magic runs through the veins of English history, part of daily life from the earliest Arthurian legends to Aleister Crowley to the novels of Tolkien and Philip Pullman, and from the Druids to Freemasonry and beyond. Richly illustrated and deeply knowledgeable, this book is an invaluable source for anyone curious about magic and wizardry, or for sophisticated practitioners wanting to learn more.

Magic begins in darkness- the darkness of the earth, the sky and the body- and a awareness of it is born with light.

I got my match for the #witchpleaseswap and I saw that several people have been sharing their witchy collections. Here is a sampling of my own. I also own all of the Deborah Harkness novels and a few herbal books. I collect tarot and Oracle decks and crystals.
Please dont stress over what to send, who ever my swap people are. I promise I will love whatever is in the box!

Sometimes a #bare book is quite pretty. This one came without a jacket. It's always worth taking a peek under the jacket just in case says Watson. #uncannyOctober #CatsofLitsy @RealLifeReading

I think I am going to get on well with my non-fiction read this month.

I feel blessed to live to close to some of the sites mentioned so far in this book!

Did you know that in 1770, the British parliament banned lipstick, saying that it had the power to seduce men....which was classified as witchcraft? 💄🌛🕷👁🔮That little factoid made me want to learn more about the history of magical life and practice in England, so I picked this up at the Strand Bookstore! Hoping to learn how to use nail polish to defeat my enemies.... 💅🏻
