Silent As the Trees: Special Edition – Gemma Gary – (Troy)

Description

Silent as the Trees: Devonshire Witchcraft, Folklore & Magic — Gemma Gary
A special edition of Gemma Gary’s sixth book, and effectively two books in one. Alongside a study of Devon’s witches and magical folk — from the historical ‘white witch’ Caulks of Exeter and the Bideford witch trials to the twentieth-century cunning man and museum founder Cecil Williamson — the volume closes with a substantial Black Book of Devonshire Magic, gathering genuine spells, charms, and rites recorded from the county. Chapters cover skin-turning and familiar spirits, spirit vision, cure and curse charms, protective magic, and the region’s black dog and Wild Hunt lore.
