This is a hardbound facsimile of a book of Leland's charming weirdness, introduced by Mathiesen and followed by his transcription. Apparently, Leland would make handcrafted grimoires/spell books as gifts, writing them in character (in this example, Dame Darrel). This one is more of an encyclopedia of magical beings from folklore than a spell book, but it's still a delightfully quirky read. Mathiesen's thoughts on Leland, Gerald Gardner, and the Book of Shadows are also worth reading. ( ) sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
The Witchcraft of Dame Darrel of York purports to be the full account of the Witchcraft practiced in medieval England but was really an imaginative recreation of how witchcraft was practiced. Not pure fiction,however, it is based on Leland's years of prodigious research. This work leaves room for readers to create their own practice rooted in tradition, yet respond to twentieth century needs and sensibilities. This facsimile of the illuminated manuscript includes a full transcript of the text. This is a book that sheds light on an ancient tradition and provides the basis for a modern practice. It will be embraced by those practicing pagans, scholars, and anyone interested in the legend and lore of England. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
