Title: The Devil’s Plantation ~ East Anglian Lore, Witchcraft & Folk-Magic
Author: Nigel G. Pearson
Publisher: Troy Books
Edition: Paperback
Description: Taking its name from the lost ‘black book’ of a famed Cambridgeshire witch, as well as plots of land sacrificed unto the spirits and the Old One himself, Nigel Pearson’s ‘The Devil’s Plantation’ guides the reader through the traditional witchcraft, old magic and folklore of East Anglia.
This is an ancient landscape, and a melding pot for the beliefs, culture and magic of the various peoples who have inhabited it over its long history. And yet, until very recently, East Anglia has been a land ‘set apart’ and isolated amidst impassable marshes, Fens and uncleared Forests.
Thus East Anglia is a landscape in which ‘the good folk’, land drakes, land wights, meremaids, giants, spectral hounds, saintly miracles, wort Cunning, toad lore, folk magic and indeed witchcraft have been nurtured and continue to play a part in the lives of the people of what has aptly been named ‘Witch Country’.
Been after this book for a while. I was born in East Anglia & still live here. It’s a beautiful part of the world steeped in witchy history which I have a huge interest in. Most places I tried it’s out of stock so when I saw it here I was so excited (still am) & snapped it up!! I’ll definitely return & purchase more from your wonderful store. Also arrived in less than a week too!!
