A comprehensive guide to the history, theory and practice of Pow
Wow, this book draws upon historical documentation, traditional
methods, and a life of personal experience. Pow Wow, or Braucherei,
as it is known by its practitioners, is a system of folk magic that
has its roots in Christian and Pre-Christian Germany, but its
character is wholy American - the quintissential American magical
system. Drawing on quotes from the Bible, qabalistic principles and
old gromoires, it is empowered by the Holy Trinity, and most
practitioners consider themselves to be Christian, much like the
Cunning Folk of England. The final chapter, about Doctor Santee,
references material and uses a photograph that is copyright GLHoke,

German Braucherei is the finest book on German magic to be seen in
decades. Comprehensive in its historical, philosophical and
cultural roots, The Red Church is a book that will be appreciated
by academics and modern practitioners of not just folk and
ceremonial magic alike, but also energetic and faith healing,
symbolism, and cultural psychology. Extensively researched and
documented, no one interested in the survival of Medieval and
Renaissance magic into the modern era should be without a copy of
it within easy reach." - Mark Stavish, Director of Studies,
Institute for Hermetic Studies, author of, The Path of Alchemy,
Freemasonry - Rituals, Symbols and History of the Secret Society,
and Between the Gates: Lucid Dreaming, Astral Projection and the
Body of Light.
