About This Item
A GENUINE HARDCOVER EDITION WITH THE ORIGINAL DUST JACKET IN VERY FINE CONDITION
WITCHCRAFT, HAUNTINGS, MAGIC CIRCLES, PIXIES, HISTORY OF WITCHES, CHARMS & MUCH MORE
This book traces the lore and legends of witchcraft and the supernatural in Dartmoor, which is one of the most legendary sights in history. Dartmoor is a magical place with a history just as magical. For anyone who wants to read into the world of some of the origins of Witchcraft lore and legends, this is one heck of a book.
"For centuries, Dartmoor folklore and legends have encompassed tales of pixies, ghosts, witchcraft, weird happenings, and a host of deep-seated beliefs. These have been passed down through the generations via fireside stories, books, and local traditions, all of which have contributed to keeping the tales alive today.
There can be no question that Dartmoor and its landscape have helped ignite people's beliefs and imaginations. From the thick mists that suddenly appear and roll across the moor to the dark, bottomless mires and the craggy granite tors, each lends an air of mystery and magic, ripe for associated legends and tales.
Today, we have a wealth of tales that relate to the various strange events that took place somewhere in the Dartmoor landscape. No matter whether it's a deep bottomless pool or a sleepy moorland hamlet there will be a story to be told.
The really fascinating thing is that, due to Dartmoor's unspoiled landscape, it is possible to visit many of the places connected with the various tales and see them as they were when their events unfolded.
