Barbarous Words: A compendium of Conjurations, British folk magic, and other Popish charms

Britain, a place steeped in its mystery and folklore but most of all its magic. Throughout the ages, there were those who practiced various forms of British folk magic and were known by many names such as witches, conjurers, and cunning folk. Sadly, there seemed a mass decline in these practices after the early 1900s. However fortunately in recent years, the incorporation of older styles of folk magic have made a comeback and started to influence many people's personal practices. Given here, is not only a compendium and compilation book of folk magic giving different examples and aspects of folk magic thoughout the British Isles, but a book in which author and modern day practitioner George Hares demonstrates a contemporary twist on these older forms of praxis giving examples of how to work older folk magical practices in the contemporary world. One of the first of its kind, this book will show you how to do exactly that and for practitioners to apply these techniques in their practice in the modern day in order to contribute to the existing practice of British folk magic preserving it and keeping it in the now
