Taking its name from the lost 'black book' of a famed Cambridgeshire witch, as well as plots of land sacrificed unto the spirits and the Old One himself, Nigel Pearson's 'The Devil's Plantation' guides the reader through the traditional witchcraft, old magic and folklore of East Anglia. This is an ancient landscape, and a melding pot for the beliefs, culture and magic of the various peoples who have inhabited it over its long history. And yet, until very recently, East Anglia has been a land 'set apart' and isolated amidst impassable marshes, Fens and uncleared Forests. Thus East Anglia is a landscape in which 'the good folk', land drakes, land wights, meremaids, giants, spectral hounds, saintly miracles, wort Cunning, toad lore, folk magic and indeed witchcraft have been nurtured and continue to play a part in the lives of the people of what has aptly been named 'Witch Country'.

"The first time I called myself a 'Witch' was the most magical moment of my life."― Margot Adler. Merry Meet! I am a witch who lives in a small mountain village in Italy, and witchcraft and magic are a daily part of my life. It has been a strange, wondrous, sometimes terrifying, and painful journey that brought me here from Canada, where I was born. When I first arrived in Italy, I had the opportunity to visit an archaeological site that was sacred to the indigenous pagans in the area. Alone, I thought this would be a great time to do some shamanic work and try to connect with any of the local spirits who might be around. Not only was I given the gift of many new insights, but I had the uncanny feeling that the Spirits of the Land and Sky were preparing a project for me. At the time I had no idea what that project was going to be, but I now understand it to be, at least in part, the writing of this book. An invitation to learn about witchcraft, what it is and how to do it. I am a modern cosmic witch, and this book will give you a good basic introduction to what it means to be a witch in the 21st century. "To reclaim the word witch is to reclaim our right, as women, to be powerful" - Starhawk. This is a book about witches and witchcraft written by a witch and designed to be accessible to anyone who has even had a mild curiosity about this subject. Here we will explore our traditions, myths, magic, female sexuality, the supernatural, and empowerment. I will write about the terror of the European witch hunts, and some of the historical witches I have come across in my research and how these women have inspired me. We will then fly up to the present day, when millions of people across the world are identifying as witches and pagans at a time when nature is at serious risk and Western society desperately needs to be enchanted. The intention of this book is to inspire, enchant, empower, and challenge you, whether you identify as a witch or not. Welcome to Cosmic Witch! Welcome to Magic!

The mid-twentieth century saw the birth of popular occultism in Europe and the New World, including an interest in witchcraft. Chief among these was Wicca, a recension of ceremonial magic and nature worship advanced by Gerald Gardner and Alex Sanders, now widely regarded as a religion. However, lesser-known streams of the witch-current thrived the shadows, having older historical roots, and linked to a body of practice - witch-bottles, knotted cord spells, curses, exorcisms, sexual magic, and charms ranging from the conjuration of angels to protection for livestock and hearth. This is Traditional Witchcraft, whose origin in part lies with the sorcery of the cunning-folk of Britain and Colonial America. Eschewing the popular occult limelight, its perpetuation as a mystery-cult continues as a largely closed group of initiates. Now revised and expanded, the second edition of CHILDREN OF CAIN is the definitive history of Traditional Witchcraft and its key operatives in Britain and the United States, and is based on over forty years of research and private collaboration with practitioners of this mysterious form of folk magic.
