The Torture and Death of St. Cyprian and St. Justina offers the first English translation of a late-Medieval Latin account of the martyrdom of St. Cyprian and St. Justina of Antioch, the basis of which is an anonymous Latin text found in a manuscript dating from 1485, and composed in Rouen in the region of Normandy.

Here the focus on Justina seems to reflect that she had already acquired a kind of quasi-mythical status, as a type of Platonic ‘familiar spirit’ to Cyprian, by the time the document was written. Also included in this volume is an abridged translation of a curious narration of the theft of the body of St. Justina by the Antipope John XVI, and his subsequent gifting of this holy relic to the Cathedral at Piacenza.

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.
