Of Chalk & Flint

Of Chalk and flint is a book that looks at Traditional and Modern Norfolk Witchcraft and magic.

This book covers the landscape, flora, fauna, culture and history of Norfolk and it’s nameless tradition of magic and witchcraft. Within these pages you’ll find herbs and creatures, Fair Ones and merfolk. You’ll find spells, rituals and seasonal devotions. Retellings of of stories that shape the traditions are also present here, as well as the modern traditions that work directly with the land, giving you a complete look at the world of Norfolk magic.

You’ll find indepth information here about some of the English fair folk- the ferrishers of East Anglia- often left out in the wider study because of the fascination with the more ‘Celtic’ or literary fairy stories.

You’ll see the tools of the working witch- the scythe, shears and sieve. The cauldron, hoe, sickle and pitchfork. Tools of the witch that work closely with the land, that are so often left out in favour of Wiccan tools.

All of the information within this book is also shown alongside comparative practices from other locational traditions of witchcraft, so that we can get a wider understanding of where some of these myths, operational magic rites and understandings come from.

Why we love it

This chunky book is full of all manner of fascinating cultural magic traditions. This has been a book on the Bramble & Bone’s bookshelf for a long time. Part of the Bramble & Bone tradition comes from East Anglia, so it’s always nice to see tidbits of your own tradition find their way into a book- especially when it’s been so carefully and respectfully written. This book comes highly recommended for anybody wishing to engage in the Magic of Norfolk and the wider British Craft.
