“Folk Religion of the Pennsylvania Dutch: Witchcraft, Faith Healing and Related Practices” by Richard L.T. Orth (incomplete)

Magick Matters

"For almost three centuries, the "Pennsylvania Dutch"—descended from German immigrants—have practiced white magic, known in their dialect as Braucherei (from the German "brauchen," to use) or Powwowing.

Practitioners draw on folklore and tradition dating to the turn of the 19th century, when healers like Mountain Mary—canonized as a saint for her powers--arrived in the New World. The author, a member of the Pennsylvania Dutch community, describes in detail the practices, culture and history of faith healers and witches. " ⚠️...>>

“Pan: The Great God’s Modern Return” by Paul Robichaud

Magick Matters

"From ancient myth to contemporary art and literature, a beguiling look at the many incarnations of the mischievous—and culturally immortal—god Pan. Pan—he of the cloven hoof and lustful grin, beckoning through the trees. From classical myth to modern literature, film, and music, the god Pan has long fascinated and terrified the western imagination. “Panic” is the name given to the peculiar feeling we experience in his presence. Still, the ways in which Pan has been imagined have varied wildly—fitting for a god whose very name the ancients confused with the Greek word meaning “all.” Part-goat, part-man, Pan bridges the divide between the human and animal worlds. In exquisite prose, Paul Robichaud explores how Pan...>>
