This book was the first mainstream publication that presented a “do-it-yourself” style manual for the would-be witch or warlock. The book has been described as one of the main motivators of the "occult explosion" of the 1970s.

Starting from first principles, Huson instructs the novice step by step in the arts of circle casting, blessing and banning, the uses of amulets and talismans, philters, divination, necromancy, waxen images, knots, fascination, conjuration, magical familiars, spells to arouse passion or lust, attain vengeance, and of course, counter-spells to exorcise and annul the malice of others.

This is a hardback edition published by G.P.Putnam’s Sons in 1970. The dust jacket has some small scrapes and tears. The Pages are clean and tight. Please see photos for details.
