Traditional Craft

First published in 2008, this is a revised and expanded second edition of the author's well-received book on modern Cornish traditional witchcraft. As Gemma Gary says in her new preface, there is no 'set in stone' organised witch tradition in Cornwall, and folk magic practices have always been unique to their individual practitioners. However, in this excellent book she has managed to expertly draw together a workable new tradition from historical sources and the surviving rites, charms, and folk customs of Cornwall and the West Country.

What is known today as Traditional Witchcraft (T.W.) is nothing more than what in the Anglo-Saxon context is referred to as “Elder Faith” and “Old Craft,” and in Spain and America as El Arte (The Craft), or just Brujería (Witchcraft). The reasons for which the adjective “traditional” was added are based on the need to distinguish itself from other types of “witchcraft,” especially from one that was extremely prominent at the time in which the “dawn” of Traditional Witchcraft happened, and the same that, up to now, has millions of followers all over the world: Wicca. The...
