{"product_id":"witches-ointment-soft-cover-book","title":"Witches' Ointment Soft Cover Book","description":"\u003cp\u003eBefore the witch trials rewrote the narrative, there were the ointments. Flying salves, psychoactive preparations, rituals so old they predate Christianity's stranglehold on the Western imagination. Thomas Hatsis is one of the sharpest researchers working in the history of witchcraft and entheogenic medicine, and this book is the real thing, not the watered-down pagan lifestyle content that floods the shelves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWitches' Ointment digs into primary sources to reconstruct what these preparations actually were, who made them, and how the church and state criminalized folk magical practice into something unrecognisable. It sits comfortably alongside the serious end of occult scholarship, the kind of dark history that connects gothic subculture, folk horror, and genuine academic rigour without condescending to either crowd. Essential reading for anyone whose bookshelves run heavy on the macabre and the marginal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSoftcover. By Thomas Hatsis.
