Book excerpt: This book is annotated with a rare biographical sketch of the author, written by Elizabeth Robins Pennell. Mr. Leland has been very industrious in collecting himself the strange lore of "what is really the practical religion of all peasants and poor people, that is, their magical ceremonies and medicine; " and he also sets forth in an interesting manner very much material derived from authorities little known to the common English reader. Fortune-telling,witch-doctoring, love-philtering, and other kinds of sorcery are very fully illustrated; the volume is, indeed, quite a cyclopedia in its way.

HOKKANI BASO LELLIN DUDIKABIN, OR THE GREAT SECRET CHILDREN'S RHYMES AND INCANTATIONS TEN LITTLE INDIAN BOYS AND TEN LITTLE ACORN GIRLS OF MARCELLUS BURDI- GALENSIS. HERE is a meaningless rhyme very common among children. It is repeated while "counting off" --or "out" --those who are taking part in a game, and allotting to each a place. There are many versions of it, but the following is exactly word for word what I learned when a boy in Philadelphia: -- Ekkeri (or ickery), akkery, u-kcry an, Fillisi', follasy, Nicholas John, Queebee - quabee -- Irishman (or, Irish Mary), Stingle 'em--stangle 'em--buck! With a very little alteration This chapter is reproduced, but with much addition, from one in my work entitled "The Gypsies," published in Boston, 1881, by Houghton and Mifflin. London: Trubner Sc Co. The addition will be the most interesting portion to the folk-lorist. in sounds, and not more than children make of these verses in different places, this may be read as follows: -- Ek-keri (yekori) akairi, you kair an, Fillissin, follasy, Nakelas jan Kivi, kavi--Irishman, Stini, stani--buck! This is, of course, nonsense, but it is Romany or gypsy nonsense, and it may be thus translated very accurately: -- First--here--you begin! Castle, gloves. You don't play! Go on! Kivi--a kettle. How are you? Stdni, buck. The common version of the rhyme begins with-- "One--ery--two--ery, ickery an." But one-ery is an exact translation of ek-keri; ek, or yek, meaning one in gypsy. (Ek-orus, or yek-korus, means once). And it is remarkable that in-- "Hickory dickory dock, The rat ran up the clock, The clock struck one, And down he run, Hickory dickory dock." We have hickory, or ek-keri, again followed by a significant one. It may be observed that while my firs...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This scholarly and classic work by folklorist and linguist Charles Godfrey Leland (author of Aradia: Gospel of the Witches) which not only illustrates examples of Gypsy witchcraft in the 19th Century, it also explores the far flung roots of Gypsy culture and folk lore, as it has been incorporated into the very fabric of European and Western culture. Leland not only explores the roots of Gypsy magic and divination in its primal source of India, he also compares the myths and magic of the "Romany" to the myths and magic of cultures as far flung as the Native Americans and the Siberian Eskimo, to illustrate the primal nature and common human thread of magical thought and practice.

Book excerpt: While researching regional folklore in Tuscany during the late 19th Century, an American folklorist recieves a hand written document, the "Vangel", by a mysterious woman named Maddelena. Purportedly the last remains of an ancient Roman witchcraft religion, this forms the basis of "Aradia". Though the authenticity of "Aradia" has always been questioned, it has undoubtedly helped form the basis for neo-Pagan religion today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CHAPTER I.THE ORIGIN OF WITCHCRAFT, SHAMANISM, AND SORCERY.--VINDICTIVE ANDMISCHIEVOUS MAGIC.As their peculiar perfume is the chief association with spices, so sorcery is allied in every memory to gypsies. And as it has notescaped many poets that there is something more strangely sweetand mysterious in the scent of cloves than in that of flowers, sothe attribute of inherited magic power adds to the romance of thesepicturesque wanderers. Both the spices and the Romany come from thefar East--the fatherland of divination and enchantment. The latterhave been traced with tolerable accuracy, if we admit their affinitywith the Indian Dom and Domar, back to the threshold of history, orwell-nigh into prehistoric times, and in all ages they, or their women, have been engaged, as if by elvish instinct, in selling enchantments, peddling prophecies and palmistry, and dealing with the devil generallyin a small retail way. As it was of old so it is to-day-- Ki shan i Romani Adoi san' i chov'hani. Wherever gypsies go, There the witches are, we know.It is no great problem in ethnology or anthropology as to how gypsiesbecame fortune-tellers. We may find a very curious illustration ofit in the wren. This is apparently as humble, modest, prosaic littlefowl as exists, and as far from mystery and wickedness as an oldhen. But the ornithologists of the olden time, and the myth-makers, and the gypsies who lurked and lived in the forest, knew better. Theysaw how this bright-eyed, strange little creature in her elvish wayslipped in and out of hollow trees and wood shade into sunlight, and anon was gone, no man knew whither, and so they knew that it wasan uncanny creature, and told wonderful tales of its deeds in humanform, and to-day it is called by gypsies in Germany, as in England, the witch-bird, or more briefly, chorihani, "the witch." Just so thegypsies themselves, with their glittering Indian eyes, slipping likethe wren in and out of the shadow of the Unknown, and anon away andinvisible, won for themselves the name which now they wear. WhereverShamanism, or the sorcery which is based on exorcising or commandingspirits, exists, its professors from leading strange lives, or fromsolitude or wandering, become strange and wild-looking. When men havethis appearance people associate with it mysterious power. This isthe case in Tartary, Africa, among the Eskimo, Lapps, or Red Indians, with all of whom the sorcerer, voodoo or medaolin, has the eye ofthe "fascinator," glittering and cold as that of a serpent. So thegypsies, from the mere fact of being wanderers and out-of-doorslivers in wild places, became wild-looking, and when asked if theydid not associate with the devils who dwell in the desert places, admitted the soft impeachment, and being further questioned as towhether their friends the devils, fairies, elves, and goblins had nottaught them how to tell the future, they pleaded guilty, and findingthat it paid well, went to work in their small way to improve their"science," and particularly their pecuniary resources. It was an easycalling; it required no property or properties, neither capital norcapitol, shiners nor shrines, wherein to work the oracle. And as Ibelieve that a company of children left entirely to themselves wouldform and grow up with a language which in a very few years wouldbe spoken fluently, [2] so I am certain that the shades of night, and fear, pain, and lightning and mystery would produce in the sametime conceptions of dreaded beings, resulting first in demonology andthen in the fancied art of driving devils away. For out of my ownchildish experiences and memories I retain with absolute accuracymaterial enough to declare that without any aid from other peoplethe youthful mind forms for itself strange and seemingly supernaturalphenomena.

Book excerpt: A RARE -- CENTURIES OLD -- COLLECTION OF CUSTOMS, USAGES AND CEREMONIES OF GYPSY CLANS IN MATTERS OF WITCHCRAFT, LOVE POTIONS, SPELL CASTING AND FORTUNE TELLING Many believe the gypsies to be a mysterious race who possess supernatural powers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past few years the most serious part of the author's study and reflection has been devoted to the subjects discussed in this book. These, briefly stated, are as follows: Firstly, that all mental or cerebral faculties can by direct scientific treatment be influenced to what would have once been regarded as miraculous action, and which is even yet very little known or considered. Secondly, in development of this theory, and as confirmed by much practical and personal experience, that the Will can by very easy processes of training, or by aid of Auto-Suggestion, be strengthened to any extent, and states of mind soon induced, which can be made by practice habitual.
Book Synopsis The God of the Witches by : Margaret Alice Murray
Download or read book The God of the Witches written by Margaret Alice Murray and published by . This book was released on 1970 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This celebrated study of witchcraft in Europe traces the worship of the pre-Christian and prehistoric Horned God from paleolithic times to the medieval period. Murray, the first to turn a scholarly eye on the mysteries of witchcraft, enables us to see its existence in the Middle Ages not as an isolated and terrifying phenomenon, but as the survival of a religion nearly as old as humankind itself, whose devotees held passionately to a view of life threatened by an alien creed. The findings she sets forth, once thought of as provocative and implausible, are now regarded as irrefutable by folklorists and scholars in related fields. Exploring the rites and ceremonies associated with witchcraft, Murray establishes the concept of the "dying god"--the priest-king who was ritually killed to ensure the country and its people a continuity of fertility and strength. In this light, she considers such figures as Thomas a Becket, Joan of Arc, and Gilles de Rais as spiritual leaders whose deaths were ritually imposed. Truly a classic work of anthropology, and written in a clear, accessible style that anyone can enjoy, The God of the Witches forces us to reevaluate our thoughts about an ancient and vital religion.
