The Horned God of Wytches Horns and antlers have long been associated with power, divinity and mystically enlightened states. Zan Fraser traces the evidence of reverence for horned animals from the Paleolithic and Neolithic eras in Europe into the pagan period, Middle Ages and Renaissance. From cave paintings to Cernunnos and Herne, to Oberon, Puck, and Robin Goodfellow, Fraser explores the pervasive cultural images of horned ones and the theory that the demonized Horned God became the medieval Christian Devil. The Horned God of Wytches is the companion to Fraser's The Goddess of Wytches. His other books, The Burning Times, A Briefe Historie of Wytches and A Briefe Historie of Magi, round out an in-depth exploration of how our popular thought about these magical, mystical and mysterious figures evolved through the centuries. |

A Briefe Historie of Magi Zan Fraser "Magike is mightie and foretelleth great matters.” From Magi of the Ancient World to such notables as Agrippa, Dee, Faust, and Prospero. From the influence on popular culture and drama of the late Elizabethan Era’s Hermetic movement to the most famous instance of Witches in the world—and the most infamous of those who explored the Mystical Arts—the dark legend of Macbeth. A review of the Magician in Western Culture, this volume is the counterpoint to Fraser’s A Briefe Historie of Wytches. Anyone who has ever been interested in the Witches in Shakespeare's Scottish Play—A Briefe Historie of Magi is for you. “Think that for you too nothing is impossible; deem that you too are immortal and that you are able to grasp all things in your thought.”—The Hermetica. |

The Goddess of Wytches Zan Fraser "Evidence originating from one end of Europe to the other, in the course of one thousand years, has led us to identify the features of a primarily female ecstatic religion, dominated by a nocturnal goddess with many names. In this figure we have recognized a hybrid, belated descendant of the Celtic divinities." —Carlo Ginzburg Throughout the literature of the Middle Ages, references are made to mysterious folk-traditions, concerning night-travels and pagan goddesses. These accounts are so uniform, so cross-referential, so widely dispersed over region and time, they cannot possibly be accidental or anomalous. They must indicate a wide-spread, well-fixed mythology. The origins of this belief-system clearly lie in a pre-Christian, pagan world-view. A great goddess sits at the head of this immense nexus of beliefs. She is given a bewildering number of names, but remains essentially the same wherever she is found. This goddess is a combination of the old mother-goddesses of Europe, who were not forgotten by fickle worshippers after the introduction of Christianity, but who continued to be remembered and worshipped by the women of Europe for centuries after, and who, in return, continued to participate in her followers’ lives. This book examines the Goddess, from Her native European origins through Her various medieval permutations. Chapters include: The Night-Flying Goddess; The Goddess in the Northern Realms; The Faery Queen. |

The Burning Times: The Fifteenth Century The fifteenth century of the Age of Pisces was a troubled era. The fourteenth century was decimated by the Black Plague. The old feudal traditions were breaking up. The church reasserted its monopolistic authority, and power struggles broke out between the papacy and the monarchs of Europe. People turned toward things of the spirit to sustain them—sometimes to private, visionary mysticism, sometimes to charismatic preachers. The pageantry and brutality of the fifteenth century played out against a backdrop of pagan night-goddesses, elves, faeryes, spirits, charms, spells, wizards and magic. And more than anything else, the events of the fifteenth century were influenced by—and directly affected—the fortunes of those known as witches. This is the story of the first century of the three-hundred-year Burning Times of witches. Topics include: the formation of the satanic witch model; various medieval examples of the magic circle; the publication of the witch-hunters' manual, the Malleus Maleficarum; and St. Joan of Arc and the influence of lingering paganism upon the rural Christianity of her day. The book ends on a note of dark forboding as the sixteenth century dawns with the escalation of witch-hunting. |

Quicksilver Moon Quicksilver Moon coven has an enemy in Brother Mudge — And a formidable ally in vampire Isolde Bell. Can her ancient magic defeat his modern-day evil? Brother Mudge cleared his throat, stepped forward, and took the microphone from Rev. Edwards. “My friends in the Lord,” he began, his voice sincere and conversational, “Our culture war is beginning here today.” He humbly acknowledged the applause. “And because of my studies I have come to know the idolaters. I know who they are! They are Satan’s foul spawn, his false daughters. The whores and faithless wives, the greedy and carnal daughters, the lustful women. They’re the liars, the liberals, the lesbians, the leftist loonies. They’re the witches. ‘Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.’ So it is written, so I believe, and so I act. Amen, amen, amen.” The vampire has awakened from her daily sleep. Isolde Bell has learned that Mudge and his followers are gathered outside the house of her friend, Loretta, and that their intention is to burn the women of Quicksilver Moon. So he would be the new Inquisitor, would he? He would be the new Witch-finder General? The old magicians once said that the blood of a sacrificial victim is most pleasing to the gods. No, no, no. It’s the most polluted tool, the most blasphemous. Brother Mudge — the zealot Judge — stunk of blood and terror and fire. He reeked of lust and hubris. Sin trailed behind him wherever he moved, and I easily tracked him through the dying day. Visit the author’s website |

Mystics on the Road to Vanishing Point Two young men must deal with their respective pasts before they can get on with their respective futures. “It’s fate. It’s magic. It’s life, in all of its wonderful tragedy, in all of its horrible comedy. It’s better than a book or a movie, because it’s real. For the most part, books and movies only try to show one aspect of life, as if life was always horrible, or life was always a comedy. Life is everything, funny, and terrifying, and ever-changing. And when the doors start opening, that means that changes are coming. Good or bad, I don’t know, but they’re coming and even sitting around and refusing to move won’t stop them.” Visit the author’s website |
