For the witch whose career confines them to an urban environment,
regular Craft practice may often seem like a futile gesture,
especially if home is a small, gardenless-flat. Even the suburbs
can be magically incapacitating, if there is constant noise from
traffic and neighbours. People work long hour without having the
opportunity to notice the subtle changing of the seasons. Weekends
are a constant battle with family, domestic chores and socialising.
It's no wonder that the urban witch has little time left for
magical and spiritual development. Traditional Witchcraft for Urban
Living deals with the constant barrage of psychic problems that
confront the urban witch on a daily basis. Based on the teachings
of a traditional Craft background, the author successfully manages
to blend the Old Ways with practical contemporary practice. This
book is part of the Traditional Witchcraft Series. Other titles in
the series are Traditional Witchcraft for the Seashore(Jan 2012),
Traditional Witchcraft for Fields and Hedgerows (Mar 2012) and
Traditional Witchcraft for the Woods and Forests (Mar 2012).

For more than a year, between January 1692 and May 1693, the men
and women of Salem Village lived in heightened fear of witches and
their master, the Devil. Hundreds were accused of practicing
witchcraft. Many suspects languished in jail for months. Nineteen
men and women were hanged; one was pressed to death. Neighbors
turned against neighbors, children informed on their parents, and
ministers denounced members of their congregations. Approaching the
subject as a legal and social historian, Peter Charles Hoffer
offers a fresh look at the Salem outbreak based on recent studies
of panic rumors, teen hysteria, child abuse, and intrafamily
relations. He brings to life a set of conversations - in taverns
and courtrooms, at home and work - which took place among suspected
witches, accusers, witnesses, and spectators. The accusations,
denials, and confessions of this legal story eventually resurrect
the tangled internal tensions that lay at the bottom of the Salem
witch hunts. Hoffer demonstrates that Salem, far from being an
isolated community in the wilderness, stood on the leading edge of
a sprawling and energetic Atlantic empire. His story begins in the
slave markets of West Africa and Barbados and then shifts to
Massachusetts, where the English, Africans, and Native Americans
lived under increasing pressures from overpopulation, disease, and
cultural conflict. In Salem itself, traditional piety and social
values appeared endangered as consumerism and secular learning
gained ground. Guerrilla warfare between Indians and English
settlers - and rumors that the Devil had taken a particular
interest in New England - panicked common people and authorities.
The stage was set, Hoffer concludes, for the witchcraft hysteria.
