The Magicis Materiae of Witches, Cunning Folk, Druids, and Conjurors

The practice of love magic in its various forms—from aphrodisi- acs and amulets to philtres and potions—dates back to prehistoric times. Archaeological and textual evidence reveals the use of love magic in the ancient civilizations of Babylon, Greece, and Rome, throughout Hindu and Islamic cultures, and among the alche- mists and occultists of medieval Europe.

Practicing Druid, Jon G. Hughes, explores the history of love magic. With a focus on the magical and Druidic cultures of the British Islands, he teaches readers how to carry on this tradition. This practical instruction manual presents how to use Magicis Materiae of active botanicals, minerals, magic soil, and animal products. The author explains how to identify these materials and work with them to create love philtres, and he shares the incanta- tions and spells that accompany their use.
Hughes also explores how to harvest materials and prepare a wide range of potions in the form of electuaries, tinctures, elixirs, oils, and ointments. He describes the appropriate rites and rituals of love and sex magic, including the arcane Rite of Ritual Unction. The author also shares methods that you can use to protect your- self against love spells and how to counteract their magical effects. Love Philtres is a practical guide to one of the most ancient and widely used magical practices in the world. It systematically explores the devices and potions that occultists can create and use to find and keep love.
