Magic In Modern London - Page of the Day - The Lucky Card

Edward Lovett's book Magic In Modern London 1925 contains a host of fascinating anecdotes he collected in the early part of the 20th Century, mainly between the wars. I will put a page from the book up on the blog now and then so you can get a flavour of the interesting folk tales, folk healing and superstitions that were prevalent in the UK during this time. This piece shows the dangers of poo pooing the nurse's instructions.

Return of the Natives

The Museum of Witchcraft has ably been holding the fort for me while I've been travelling for the past 6 months but I am now back and will, once again, be selling copies of Red Thread Books on the site. Magic In Modern London by Edward Lovett is available now by clicking this link -  Magic In Modern London .

The Witches' herbal is doing extremely well and I will be reprinting it in an A5 format within the next couple of weeks. the current version is available on the Museum of Witchcraft site. Follow this link to access their site - Museum of Witchcraft Shop .

I will be showing pages of Magic in Moder London in this blog in the next few days.

It sold well on the day and is proving to be very popular already. I have printed 200 hardback copies to start with but may do more. My new website should be up and running tomorrow. You will be able to purchase the Edward Lovett book at the Museum of Withcraft online shop shortly. I will let you know when it is on the site.
