Drink deliciously and magickally with this exquisite compendium of
potent mystical beverages, with witchy wisdom from author Shawn
Engel and expertly crafted cocktails from mixologist Steven
Nichols. For thousands of years, witches young and old have
concocted mysterious potions to heal, to divine the future, to get
in touch with the energies of the planet-and just to have fun. In
this enchanting compendium of 40 drink recipes, mystical maven
Shawn Engel shares her thoughts on what to imbibe for power,
energy, and amusement. Written in tandem with the award-winning
cocktail writer and developer Steven Nichols, this collection
presents a broad range of drinks for every purpose. Whether it's a
trio of beverages celebrating the energies of the maiden, mother,
and crone (with notes of pomegranate, fig, and smoke respectively),
or an eminently sippable mint-based money magick brew for
prosperity, this book is a party with a purpose. Not only are these
drinks fun and shareable, they also contain ingredients with
ancient magickal significance. For example, the 'Keep it Hexy' is
not only a delicious vodka-based cocktail perfect for kick-starting
a memorable evening, it also contains black pepper to return a hex
to sender, sage to cleanse an evil eye, and blackberries for
protection. All recipes include energetic properties and plenty of
information about magickal ingredients and why they've been used to
address certain ills for millennia; some even come with invocations
and rituals to amplify their power.
Johan Huizinga’s much-loved and much-contested Autumn of the
Middle Ages, first published in 1919, encouraged an image of the
Late French Middle Ages as a flamboyant but empty period of decline
and nostalgia. Many studies, particularly literary studies, have
challenged Huizinga’s perceptions of individual works or genres.
Still, the vision of the Late French and Burgundian Middle Ages as
a sad transitional phase between the High Middle Ages and the
Renaissance persists. Yet, a series of exceptionally significant
cultural developments mark the period. The Waxing of the Middle
Ages sets out to provide a rich, complex, and diverse study of
these developments and to reassert that late medieval
France is crucial in its own right. The collection argues for
an approach that views the late medieval period not as an
afterthought, or a blind spot, but as a period that is key in
understanding the fluidity of time, traditions, culture, and
history. Each essay explores some “cultural form,†to borrow
Huizinga’s expression, to expose the false divide that has
dominated modern scholarship.

John Crisp, a man fed up with the daily grind of London life,
retires with his wife to the rugged and lonely coast of Cornwall.
The house he buys to while away his retirement years was built on
the site of an army base used during the Second World War. What he
discovers below ground in the shafts of a disused tin mine
threatens not only his life, but also the lives of his family.
