Witches, Druids, and Sin Eaters The Common Magic of the Cunning Folk of the Welsh Marches By Jon G Hughes

Druid Jon G. Hughes and witchcraft researcher Sophie Gallagher describe the rituals, beliefs and rites of the Welsh Marches, the borderlands between Wales and England. They explore figures such as sin eaters, who took on the sins of the recently dead, as well as eye biters and spirit hunters.

The book draws on extracts from texts in the archives of the National Museum of Wales and includes photographs of related artifacts. A closing grimoire collects spells and magical workings with instructions, presented as folk tradition rather than proven effects.
