NEW BOOKS Click to Enlarge THE DEVIL’S RAIMENTS :  HABILIMENTS OF THE WITCHES’ CRAFT By Martin Duffy Monograph No. 2 – May 2012 C lad in the black robe, or daubed in black unguent as a consecration of wisdom, we are one with the hidden and secret realm of Night, and when so enveloped become the fertile void wherein we may receive the inspiration of the Muse or Genius. In occult literature, the Vestments of the Art Magical are poorly understood, principally because few save the body of initiates behold them.  The robe, mask, hood, mantle, garter, and veil, constituting the exterior arrayments of the witch, trace their pedigree to a number of magical sources, each constituting a mystery of form and function.  Click to Enlarge These mystical underpinnings often possess a deeper arcanum, being both emblematic of specified witch-powers and serving a hidden ritual purpose.
