Saw this in a group I'm in and felt SEEN. Quick one on tools of the trade. You do NOT need lots of (or indeed any) fancy "special" equipment to practice your Craft. My crowded altar and burgeoning cupboards might indicate otherwise, but I'm part-Magpie, love thrifting / charity shops, have access to lots of pretties via local metaphysical witchy shops like @thepurplespell (and very generous and thoughtful friends), and have been at this since my teens so of course mine is a bit "extra". And that's fine! But. If I don't have a "special" tool, I'll absolutely use the "mundane" equivalent and consecrate it for purpose. Which might include using a mop to fly with rather than a broomstick - they're very nearly doing the same job, and a Witch is practical wherever possible!

Detail from 'Witches', a chapter contained within 'The Monster Book of Witches, Vampires, Spooks (and Monsters)', written and illustrated by Colin and Jacqui Hawkins. This is a compendium of several different books, first gathered like this and published by HarperCollins Publishers Ltd in 1997 for Colour Library Direct. I've had Vampires and Witches separately but time saw them vanish, so I was delighted to find this in a charity bookshop today! This particular illustration is part of the High Jinks page and is related to Candlemas, which feels very seasonally appropriate. --- Cross-shared via FB: The 80s Book Witch (@80sBookWitch), links in bio.

Detail from 'The Skull: A Tyrolean Folktale', written and illustrated by Jon Klassen, first published by Walker in 2023. I stumbled across this bestseller randomly (whilst it was heavily reduced to the same price as a cup of coffee, so took a punt on it) and the Amazon summary describes it perfectly: "...a deliciously macabre treat for folktale fans" Perfect for 4 to 9 year olds who like things a bit creepy, gothic, with a bit of an Edgar Allan Poe vibe - but equally incredibly sweet! --- Cross-shared via FB: The 80s Book Witch (@80sBookWitch), links in bio.

Detail from The Mirrorstone, by Michael Palin, illustrated by Alan Lee with art design by Richard Seymour, with Alan Lee, Wendy Froud and Ray Evangelista doing the modelling for the holograms. Originally published by Jonathan Cape Ltd in 1986. This one is aimed at 2 - 6 year olds but had I had this back in the day, reflective surfaces would have bothered me even more than they already did! It is, however, apparently one of those books with a bit of a cult following. Although engaging, I do think the story lacks a bit of pace, but the illustrations (which let's face it is my focus) are glorious. --- Cross-shared via FB: @80sBookWitch / The 80s Book Witch, links in bio.

So as promised, I've done a round-up of my #EricKincaid collection of Magic / Mystery / Make-believe / Enchantment / Witches / Wizards / Giants / Trolls / Ogres / Goblins books over on FB (link in bio). You'll see they're separated into contents, as a few share the same stories and tales. The illustrations are the same, and gorgeous throughout. As some volumes are more expensive than others, this will hopefully help if you're interested in seeing some of the glorious pictures throughout!

Ending on a heart-rending powerful image, which I've cropped... this is a very hard one to share. But I feel it's not one to shy away from. It demands we acknowledge it, and what it represents.

Before I move on to some #EricKincaid work, there's time for a final shot or so from the book I've recently been sharing... and not JUST because of the glorious illustrations and calligraphy.

Very sad to hear of the passing of Eric Kincaid. I'll be focussing on some of Eric's work over the next few days. Text from his public Facebook post: From Peter Hayton It is with the greatest sadness that I have to announce, on behalf of his wife Angie Kincaid, that Eric Kincaid passed away peacefully at home with her by his side, as he wanted, on Friday 18th August. Eric became famous for his wonderful children's book illustrations, some of the titles were Alice in Wonderland, The Jungle Book, and Peter Pan, to name just three, but there were many more famous titles illustrated in the 40+ years that he painted them. A lot of his work can be seen on his website http://www.erickincaid.com/ I'm sure you will join me in sending condolences to his loving wife Angie, daughter Fi and all his family. You will be so sadly missed Eric, by so many people that you touched with your wonderful art over the years. Rest well in the stars dear friend, you deserve it. 🙏💔 --- Cross-shared via: FB: The 80s Book Witch (@80sBookWitch) Instagram: @80sbookwitch links in bio --- #The80sBookWitch #80sBookWitch #FairyTale #FairyStory #FairyStories #ChildrensBooks #ChildrensIllustration #1970sVintage #1970s #1980sVintage #1980s #1990sVintage #1990s #VintageBooks #VintageIllustration #VintageChildrensIllustration #ChildrensVintageIllustration ~ #EricKincaid #IllustratorEricKincaid #BrimaxBooks #BrimaxBooksLTD #OctopusBooks #OctopusPublishing

Right, don't say I didn't warn you! #Baphomet from the section on Theories of Witchcraft, as featured in 'Witches', by Erica Jong, illustrated by Joseph A. Smith (some covers list him as Jos. A Smith), first published by Bell & Hyman Limited (USA) in 1981, my (huge!) paperback version printed in 2004. This section succinctly covers what the Catholic Church (during the Witch Trials) seemed to believe (devils, demons, the Devil / Satan, hell) Vs Feminist Historians (women were scapegoats) and much more besides. Baphomet himself is far too large a topic for me to go into here, but he (and variations on the Devil / Satan / #BlackPhillip) features a few times in the illustrations.

Let's talk BOOKS, specifically Witchcraft books that I'd recommend as sensible starting points. This 80s-tastic photo is from the cover sleeve of Good Magic by Marina Medici, specifically the hard back edition. This little gem is a brilliant primer (though it's not perfect - I certainly don't think it's necessary to take a ritual shower before every spell or wear natural fabrics when performing magic, though I will take extra steps if I feel a spell needs something a little 'more'). It covers a lot of ground, is mostly not 'fluff', and is an entire standalone system. If you're after a good, reasonably priced, starter book or indeed just want to see what else might appeal to you, you can't go far wrong with this wee beaut. There are two versions out there, but I absolutely love the photography in the 1988 one, and you can pick up copies for less than £10 online. --- #TheTipsyWitch #TipsyWitchWorkshops #WitchesOfInstagram #Witchstagram ~ #The80sBookWitch #80sBookWitch ~ #WitchCraft #WitchCraftBooks #WitchBooks #WitchyBooks #1980sVintage #VintageBooks #Bookstagram #MarinaMedici #GoodMagic #MacmillanLondon --- Cross-posted via FB - @thetipsyw1tch / The Tipsy Witch & @80sbookwitch / The 80s Book Witch Insta - @the.tipsy.witch & @80sbookwitch
