Summary
Details

Disguised as a concise, chapbook-length pocket guide, The Old Black Cat offers the modern practitioner more than meets the eye. Drawing from authentic British and American folklore recorded in the 1800s, The Old Black Cat outlines methods of rekindling the magical rituals preserved in age-old superstitions, including developing one's own rites for compass casting, cleansing, divination, celebratory rites for specific festivals and days, and spells for various goals.

Most importantly, The Old Black Cat serves as a practical, handy index of over 400 British and American magical superstitions pertaining to various useful facets of folk-magical practice: birth months and days of the week, love and relationships, family and home, wealth and success, travel and safety, plants and animals, as well as dealings with spirits, the dead, and defense against malevolent magics.
