title: The Black Toad: West Country Witchcraft and Magic
author:  Gemma Gary 
description: "For all those who are interested in learning about the Old Path as it is taught and practiced today by West Country witches this book of practical magic and sorcery will be a revelation. As the late Cecil Williamson, founder of the witchcraft museum in Boscastle, North Cornwall and a modern cunning man himself, said and Gemma Gary's excellent book proves - "It still goes on today."

  A	MESSAGE	FROM	CHICKEN	HOUSE
  e’re	all	a	bit	hopeless	sometimes,	aren’t	we?	But	Arianwyn	has	worse
  luck	than	most!	After	she	flunks	her	witch’s	assessment,	she’s	declared	a
  lowly	apprentice	and	posted	to	an	out-of-the-way	town.	Now,	Arianwyn
  must	rely	on	her	talent	and	personality	to	pull	her	through.	But	what	if	it’s	not	just
  about	the	odd	spell	going	wrong	–	what	happens	if	there’s	a	really	bad	dark	magic
  threat	on	its	way?	Arianwyn’s	got	some	great	new	friends	–	despite	the	arrival	of	an
  old	rival	–	and	there’s	this	nice	boy	from	the	Civil	Witchcraft	Authority	to	help.	It’s
  going	to	be	all	right	.	.	.	isn’t	it?	James	Nicol,	please	write	another	brilliant	story	–
  NOW!
