This is no neo-pagan or modern wiccan manual  but rather a deep drawing up into modern times of some of the ancient practices of lore and magic practiced by the white witches  charmers  conjurers and pellars of the Cornish villages. Their presence was still current when the 18th and 19th century antiquarians and collectors recorded them  and  although the 20th century largely put paid to their activities  nevertheless their lore never completely disappeared  and it continues to provide inspiration for practitioners today. Gemma draws on this knowledge  not only from published material  but also from the experiences and workings of wise women and country witches living today.  Topics include the Cunning Path  the Dead and the Underworld (Fairy Faith)  the Bucca  Places of Power in the villages and landscape  the Tools used by Cunning Folk (working versions of what can be seen  for example  in the Museum of Witchcraft)  Village cunning  substances and charms  and Rites of the Years Round. This book gathers much material together  some of which has not been seen in print before  and thus provides a sourcebook of magical workings in Cornwall today  which will be an invaluable reference.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44983826776117,"sku":"ByrdShop_0956104347","price":902.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780956104342.jpg?v=1770810915","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/traditional-witchcraft-a-cornish-book-of-ways","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
