Literary Necromancer: Witches and Witchcaft
Some histories are written. Others have to be conjured back into life.
For more than twenty years, Melissa Seims has followed the trails left behind by the witches, magicians, and occultists of the past — through forgotten archives, private letters, old photographs, magical artefacts, and the memories of those who knew them.
In Literary Necromancer: Witches and Witchcraft, Melissa Seims brings together a remarkable collection of investigations into the hidden history of modern Witchcraft and magic. Gerald Gardner, Doreen Valiente, Alex Sanders, Charles Clark, and the mysterious Coven of Atho appear alongside lesser-known figures whose stories had almost slipped from view.
Along the way lie Witch Wars, lost Books of Shadows, magical swords, secret covens, disputed histories, curious artefacts, and more than a few unexpected rabbit holes.
Written with the eye of a researcher and the insight of a practising witch and occultist, these histories are concerned not with preserving legends, but with asking what the surviving evidence can actually tell us.
This is literary necromancing: calling the forgotten back into the light and allowing them to tell their stories once more.

Literary Necromancer: Magicians and Temples
Behind closed doors and between black and white pillars, generations of magicians sought to understand the hidden architecture of the Universe.
In Literary Necromancer: Magicians and Temples, Melissa Seims ventures into the rich and often overlooked history of Britain’s magical traditions.
Drawing upon more than twenty years of research — and her own experience as a practising occultist — she explores the people, rituals, symbols and extraordinary spaces through which Western magic was preserved, transformed and passed on.
From the Golden Dawn and the mysteries of Rosicrucianism to alchemy, initiation, and the intersections between ceremonial magic and modern Witchcraft, these essays follow a web of influence stretching across generations. Along the way we encounter Doreen Valiente, Gerald Gardner, Margaret Bruce, Thomas Henry Pattinson, and the unforgettable John Upton, as well as near-forgotten magicians whose traces survive in letters, notebooks, ritual objects and long-hidden archives.
The journey eventually leads north to the rediscovery of artefacts from Bradford’s Victorian Golden Dawn Temple Horus No. 5, the remarkable temples of the August Order of Light, and a magical inheritance that remained quietly in private hands for more than a century.
Part occult history, part personal journey and part historical resurrection, this is literary necromancing: following the light left behind by magicians, and opening the doors on their near-forgotten temples.

Simple Nature Labyrinths: Holistic Patterns for Healing the Earth
Unlock the ancient magic of labyrinths—and discover how to create sacred patterns in nature for healing, transformation and spiritual exploration.
For more than four thousand years, labyrinths have called to something deep within us. Far more than beautiful designs, they can become gateways into altered states of consciousness, sacred spaces for ritual and powerful tools for personal and spiritual transformation.
In Simple Nature Labyrinths, you will learn how to make labyrinths in natural landscapes and awaken their potential through walking, visualisation, intention and imagination. The Earth is alive, and we can develop a relationship with the living landscape around us through labyrinths. They provide a meeting place between the physical and spiritual worlds—a way to create sacred space and send healing back to the land.
And you don't need a garden, a field or even a physical labyrinth. Thorn's unique approach introduces non-physical labyrinths, which can be created and experienced
