“The Terror That Comes in the Night: An Experience-Centered Study of Supernatural Assault Traditions” by David J. Hufford

Magick Matters

"David Hufford's work exploring the experiential basis for belief in the supernatural, focusing here on the so-called Old Hag experience, a psychologically disturbing event in which a victim claims to have encountered some form of malign entity while dreaming (or awake).

“Executing Magic in the Modern Era: Criminal Bodies and the Gallows in Popular Medicine” by Owen Davies and Francesca Matteoni

Magick Matters

"This book explores the magical and medical history of executions from the eighteenth to the early twentieth century by looking at the afterlife potency of criminal corpses, the healing activities of the executioner, and the magic of the gallows site. The use of corpses in medicine and magic has been recorded back into antiquity. The lacerated bodies of Roman gladiators were used as a source of curative blood, for instance.

However, this is the first book to consider the demand for the blood of the executed, the desire for human fat,...>>
