In Celtic Christianity & Loricae: The magical foundations of Celtic protection prayers, Christy Millar Grattan introduces a form of Celtic protection prayer which can be very useful to the magician: the Lorica.

Included is a discussion on the context of Early Irish Christianity, addressing some common misconceptions and showing that far from being an insular culture, Ireland was in dialogue with broader European magical currents. Grattan attempts to show how the Loricae represent a distinctly Celtic example of the Christianisation of magical practice most notably exemplified in the grimoires, while providing a cultural lens which may prove useful for practitioners who struggle with the Christian dimensions of grimoire magic. Finally, he cites an analysis of the structure of these Loricae, so that the reader can compose their own.

Guides to the Underworld

We've been producing our Guides since 2009 and have over 60 titles in print. From Jake Stratton-Kent's Spirit Work series, Catholic folk magic, Hoodoo, stellar magic, lunar magic, translations of historical treatises on magic, and enough practical magic to fill a lifetime, the Guides are an indispensable part of your magical journey.

In this series of pamphlets we adhere to:

"...the second idea of the radix of the word Pamphlet... that it takes its derivations from παν, 'all', and φιλεω, 'I love', signifying a thing beloved by all; for a pamphlet being of a small portable bulk, and of no great price, is adapted to every one's understanding and reading." (Curiosities of Literature, and the Literary Character Illustrated, Disraeli & Griswold, 1846, p. 91)

Because magic is for everyone.
