A sourcebook of authentic folklore about Welsh witches, charmers, wisefolk,conjurers, necromancers and other magical practitioners. This semi-encyclopedic field guide to the witches, charmers, wisefolk, conjurors, necromancers and other magical practitioners that exist in the folklore of Wales and the Borders traverses the glorious countryside of Wales through its magical inhabitants. With over 100 entries focussed on individual stories or figures, the work seeks to introduce historical figures and legendary characters that remain relatively unknown outside of Wales. Meet the famous Dr Joseph Harries of Cwrt-y-Cadno as he conjures his spirits; or run from the yellow-faced Y Hen Gwrach who dwells in the bogland before she blows disease into your face. Listen to the legend of the Llandonna witches and their landing on Anglesey, and walk the bridge where the devil was outsmarted by a cunning magician.
