A Brief History of Witchcraft: Now Available!



This little work is a strictly academic entry, compiling, mainly, primary source materials from the Northampton witch trials, including some of the most bizarre accusations which can be gleaned from the period involving familiar spirits and the supposed practices of witches. Five people were the main victims of this particular outbreak of hysteria- it should be noted that I have left the primary source snippets intact in their (very) Old English form. Some adjacent hysteria and accusations are touched upon as well.

The Mythology of Ancient Britain and Ireland: Now Available!



This short work is yet another creation series entry; essentially in part supplementary to Anwyl's "Celtic Religion" in the same set. It is partially linguistic in nature and traces the development of post-christian British Isle spiritual systems and folklore (especially in the Arthurian sense) from prior religious figures; namely, deities of various sorts.

The origin stories of both Britain and Ireland are also explored in some detail, and the work is, as a whole, quite well made.

Celtic Mythology: Now Available!



This particular book is a nice collection of linguistic lore and superstition related to the development of the Celtic people. Some of the content here is technically eugenic, proposing three separate ethnic groups with regards to the Celtic people.

It speaks of the divisions of Celtic culture (the bards, vates, and druids) and many other topics, and gives not just a broad introductory overview of the subject but delves into relatively advanced linguistic anthropology of a sort which most works ignore.
