The Devil’s Dozen: Thirteen Craft Rites of the Old One – Gemma Gary (Troy Books)

Description

The Devil’s Dozen: Thirteen Craft Rites of the Old One. By Gemma Gary. Troy Books, 2015.

First edition, Special limited issue — one of just 300 hand-numbered copies, bound in richly grained green recycled leather with gilt foil blocking to front and spine, depicting a flame-crowned Tree crowned with thirteen radiant eyes above a rooted, star-marked trunk. Green end papers with green and black head and tail bands.

A modern gramarye of thirteen Craft rites devoted to the “Old One” — the witch’s Devil as initiator, empowerer, and liberator — offered by a present-day initiate of the Old Craft. The rites span vision, dedication, initiation, consecration, protection, illumination, and devotion, for both the lone practitioner and the assembled coven. Illustrated throughout with the author’s own line drawings and photography by Jane Cox.

A cornerstone modern title from Troy Books and one of the most sought-after works of contemporary Traditional Craft — Gemma Gary is among the most respected living voices in West Country witchcraft, and this Special Edition is now increasingly scarce on the secondary market.
