Starting in the 15th century, a fear of witchcraft and alternative
practices grew into a hysteria. Because witches were suspected to
be devil worshippers, they were considered heretics to the
Christian church. Consequently, the Christians launched a crusade
against these women and men. Matthew Hopkins was not only among the
greatest supporters of this crusade, but also one of the most
active participants. In just over a year, Matthew Hopkins, a
self-proclaimed "Witchfinder General", killed over one hundred
people. While the witch hunt hysteria infected much of the 17th
century society in England, there were still those who opposed the
accusations and discrimination against witches. After being
criticized for his work, Hopkins decided to publish a guide to
witch hunting, including methods to discover a witch, how to
torture them into a confession, and how to prosecute them. Along
with outlines of torture methods, such as sleep deprivation and
forced physical activity, The Discovery of Witches also addressed
the questions and concerns raised by those who did not support
Hopkins. Under the guise of being a man of God, Hopkins claimed to
have been sent on a divine mission to manipulate other religious
groups into joining his cause. As Hopkin's practices brought him
lucrative success, he rose to a short-lived power, but his
published doctrine spread his influence for years after his death.
The Discovery of Witches by Matthew Hopkins is a short text of
immeasurable insight. Though now recognized as zealot propaganda,
The Discovery of Witches depicts a chilling perspective of a
heinous time in history, including the concerns of those who
opposed it. While Hopkin's work immortalizes a fascinating yet
repulsive historical movement, it also invites readers to reflect
on the ways the spirit of his manipulation is still present in
modern society. This edition of The Discovery of Witches by Matthew
Hopkins features an eye-catching cover deign and is printed in an
easy-to-read font, making it both readable and modern.

This light-hearted, beautifully illustrated deck and guidebook
brings the spiritual mysticism of sugar skulls to a fresh
interpretation of each of the major and minor arcana to help you
hone your intuition. Sugar skulls, or calaveras, are traditionally
made by hand to celebrate the Mexican celebration of Day of the
Dead, or Dia de Muertos. Colorful and lovingly crafted, they are
offerings for loved ones who have passed into the spirit realm. The
sugar skulls depicted throughout this deck are there to remind us
of our spiritual journey and help us reach our full potential. Just

we all have our own personal journeys that are represented through
the tarot. Whether it's the Magician shooting the sugar skull
bullseye, the High Priestess seeing her reflection in the water

the Fool feeling confident that he will create and manifest the
perfect sugar skull by the time he finishes his journey, we all
have an unrealized version of our true potential. The Sugar Skull
Tarot Deck and Guidebook offers a refreshing new take on a timeless
tradition and is the perfect tool to recognize the inner potential
inside each of us. Let the brightly colored illustrations offer you
all the inspiration you need to be the best person you can truly be
