Subtitled, ‘A Cornish Book of Ways,’ this practical guide to witchcraft is heavily influenced by the longstanding practices of Cornwall, taking material from historical resources and living practitioners.
 
Gary introduces this, her first book, with an explanation of how ‘traditional witchcraft’ is essentially ‘regional witchcraft’ due to the necessity of the landscape. These opening remarks situate this book in Cornwall, the landscape that has inspired a wealth of occult and esoteric thinkers, artists, and practitioners. While the landscape of Cornwall is the focal point of Gary’s traditional craft, many of the practical elements of this book are mirrored in other traditional lineages from across Britain and can be altered and applied to the environment of the reader. A comprehensive work, this book includes chapters on cunning tools, seasonal rites, places of power, death and the Otherworld, and much more. A bibliography and index are included to facilitate further research.
