Book excerpt: Ritual Purification, Exorcism & Defensive Magic contains information critical to understanding and practicing traditional folk magic as well as its ceremonial sibling. Rooted in the most foundational aspects of esoteric perceptions - the Doctrine of Correspondences and Contagion - and the symbolic and ritual practices that spring from it, this book will provide readers with not only an insight into a living tradition but also the means to practice it. Ritual Purification, Exorcism & Defensive Magic is the edited and refined transcripts from a seminar presented by Mark Stavish, in which he publically discussed for the first time little known aspects of traditional Pennsylvania German folk magic, also known as pow-wow or braucherei. These topics include: making of prayer cloths, so-called 'witch bottles, ' tattoos and body markings from the view of the invisible domain, dealing with ghosts and demons, creation of 'Letters from Heaven, ' magical barriers, and the role of esoteric tradition and connecting to the spiritual hierarchy of traditions.
