#german magic

by Moss Matthey

Join Moss Matthey a gay Germanic witch, as he recounts his uplifting journey from the confines of a fundamentalist Christian cult to an empowering Pagan coven.

Weaving his lived experiences with a gentle introduction to Witchcraft, Moss explores what differentiates Paganism from cults and high-control religions, inviting you to shed oppressive spiritual experiences and find support.

Through his story of self-searching and religious liberation, Moss teaches that spiritual pursuits should be freeing and presents Paganism as one such path.

He invites you to dip your toe in the waters of Witchcraft with a sampling of exercises and journal prompts inspired by Welsh and German traditions.

A celebration of culture, authenticity, and spiritual recovery, this book will inspire you to question restrictive ideologies and develop a healthy practice of your own.

I am so incredibly proud of them, and I wish them nothing but success in their future.

“put a pair of scissors under your pillow, open with the points to the head of the bed; no one can harm you or bewitch you”

This is a German superstition/magical practice recorded by Harry Middleton Hyatt in his 1965 book Folklore From Adams County, Illinois.

Hyatt says: 

I was bewitched years ago, and someone told me about putting the scissors under my pillow, open with the points to the head, and I have been doing this every night for years. I never go to sleep without the scissors under my pillow, and I have never been bewitched since that time.
