Folk Medicine, A Collection: Now Available!



This is yet another full length compilation of texts and content from texts which I have crafted- I have to say it is thus far my favorite of all the compilations, and deals with medical lore from multiple subgenres.

The first section contains, verbatim, the famous Regimen Salernitus Salernitanum, a medieval work on dietary and similar science, and then proceeds with sections on various folk cures, astrological and alchemical medical content, herbs and their medical usages, and more, compiled from about a dozen different sources, with an expansive preface, a short list of archaic medicinal terms which I thought necessary to explain for the reader, and a section with some other works of note which can be consulted for further reading.

Fortune Telling and Divination: Now Available!

 



This collection of fortune telling lore is parsed into several sections and spans a couple of centuries. It is a compilation of materials from my own edited works on subjects such as dream interpretation, astrology, oracles, and other practices used to discern ones' fate. I wanted to provide as broad and lengthy an overview of these systems as possible in this excellent work, which is a companion to my collections on demonology and alchemy.

With a short suggested reading list and expansive preface, this work can be used by a modern audience just as it could in times past.

Alchemy Collection: Now Available!

 




This full length work is the alchemical companion to my prior compilation of demonological lore. It contains fourteen separate full length works ranging from philosophical tracts to chemical experiments, with a full preface, short bibliography and list of terms, and an appendix with a few snippets from other alchemy texts I have edited.

It is meant largely for those interested in the historical impact and development of this field, which is at once early science and superstition, at once literal chemistry and heavily religious veiled metaphor. Alchemy, as the reader will see, is hardly the monolithic and dated entity it is sometimes regarded as.

Demonology, a Collection: Now Available!



This is one of four full length works I intend to release in quick order, compiling nine full length texts on demonology, along with an expansive preface, an appendix with notes, and a bibliography for further reading. Titles include...

Demoniality
King James' Demonology
Demonomania and Witchcraft
Demons and Tongues
Modern Vampirism
On the Operation of Demons
The Devil: His Origin, Greatness, and Decadence
The Piasa: The Devil Among the Indians
A Tryal of Witches

I am very proud of the work. Please note that this is not for those who wish to summon spirits demonic or otherwise, and is a work predominantly historical in nature.
