Fascinating overlaps between symbols of magical and pagan groups, Freemasonry, friendly societies and trades unions at the People’s History Museum, Manchester

Grimoire Devil's pact. Mid 18th century. Switzerland. This was part of a written pact in a copy of the notorious Grand Grimoire. I included an image of the first part of the pact in my book Grimoires (2009). Here's the second part of the pact. Archives d'Etat de Geneve

This is a fascinating snapshot of some of the things that witches and the idea of witchcraft mean to people today. Whatever your views, it’s worth reading if you’re interested in witchcraft in history, historical research and teaching or contemporary politics

Famed fortune-tellers. The most famous living First World War diviner and prophet: Madame de Thèbes (born Annette Savary, d. 1916). Now largely forgotten, she became an international star for "predicting" the war. I tell her story in my "Supernatural War" book. Image from BnF.
