This balanced account of the Salem Village witchcraft trials, including the events leading up to them, was first printed in 1702. The book was written by Reverend John Hale, the pastor of the church in Beverly, Massachusetts. He concludes with the theory that it was Satan, not the witches, who used the manipulation of objects to afflict others. Rev. Hale had been the preacher in Salem since 1664, and was a participant in the trials, attending them and praying with the accused. This eyewitness account is one of the rarest, having been reprinted once in 1771 and again in 1973.

Ralph Harvey, now deceased, was the head of The Order of Artemis, which in itself encompasses over 200 Traditional Wiccan covens worldwide, following "The old Religion", or Witchcraft in its original form. "An' ye harm none..." is the underlying principle, with absolutely no "black magic" or satanic connections.Ralph is a repository of witchcraft research in its purest, original form, and the book describes the history of Witchcraft, its suppression and re-emergence, with specific emphasis on Sussex - the last bastion of Witchcraft in England, and the first to re-emerge after the repeal of the Witchcraft Act in 1951.This is not the kind of modern spellcasting book that many New Age people have jumped into, but the original roots and ways of the Old Religion - as it was, and still is - in the community of serious, traditional witches.

Four instances determine the law of realisation. Four primal qualities: warm, cold, light and heavy manifest in the form of the four elements and are the key to all sciences and mysteries. Ancient philosophers contemplated the four basic building blocks of creation: fire, water, air and earth. In medieval times the spirits bound to them were summoned. Modern science has alsodiscovered the mechanism of quadrupole magnetism, which regulates everything and keeps everything alive. There are four forms of energy in the universe: nuclear energy, radioactivity, electromagnetism and gravitation. Four forms of energy within the atom ensure that it does not fall apart. Four molecules, known as the genetic code, have for millions of years determinedthe development of life. Four switches are necessary in a control circuit that can achieve a certain goal or maintain a state.Spiritual research also recognises the four instances in the control circuit of the spirit. Thinking, feeling, wanting and consciousness are the four organs through which the I awakens and recognises itself and the environment. Those who do not want to lose their consciousness and want to consciously shape their existence have to know and master the cybernetics of the spirit. This book shows you how to accomplish this..

Placebo and word magic: every word is an active being. Every concept is a spiritual power.. Alchemy: how to dig for gold for the afterlife in this life.. Kabbalah: how to shape a body for the spiritual world. It is not spirits that are summoned, it is the power and energy of yourown spirit that is awoken. The goal is not to use magic to gain mastery over the world and the spirits, instead it is to transform yourself so that the world and the spirits can no longer master you.

Preface of Peter J. Carroll: The Chaos Current has recentlyspawned a number of excellent grimoires by practical sorcerers who write fromhardwon experience. This book must rank amongst the best of them.I have had the honour of knowing and working with Nick Hall for some years and Ihave seen him perform many of the acts of sorcery that he writes of in thisbook. The results are often as awesome as is the presence of the man himself.Having conjured with Nick on many occasions, I would not relish the prospect ofconjuring against him.Rather than invest belief in abstruse metaphysical theory, Nick has chosen hereto build a system from an eclectic range of practical procedures culled frommany cultures. Informing the whole treatise however is the chaoist meta-beliefthat belief structures reality. This is pragmatic magick at its best. Devise ordiscover a technique that seems worth investing belief in, and if you canvalidate it, include it in your grimoire, without worrying how or why it works.Many times in the course of reading this text I stopped to make a note ofsomething that seemed well worth trying out. That, I think, is the mark of auseful book.Unless the vast majority of magicians work in complete isolation from their morepublic peers, then the ratio of civilians who merely collect magic books toactual working magicians may be estimated at ninety nine to one. This is a bookfor the one-percenters, although it may inspire a few of the rest to actuallypick up a wand for a change. All it takes is guts and imagination, not muchspecialist knowledge is required.
