Declined Request Rites Necromantic - Martin Duffy

[w1tchbitch]

Does anyone have a scan of this book? a friend of mine asked me...

Necromancy, the magical art of calling the dead, emerges from many ancient traditions of sorcery. A vile and repugnant magic to the civilised, the dead have been invoked to gain magical power, and to wrest divinatory knowledge from their shadowy realm. Human remains have often been to employed to summon the shades of the dead, whether via fetish, music, or philter, linking corpse and skeleton to ancestral reservoirs of power. The use of cranii, longbones, teeth and other human remains have played a part of this tradition. Rites Necromantic examines these practices from the lens of the witch-tradition, from medieval Sabbats to early modern malefactors, to the post magical revival witchcraft of the twentieth century and beyond. Also examined are the locales of such magic: graveyards, ruins, deserts, and other spirit-haunted places shunned by humanity.

Book Request Rule No. 5: "The request must reasonably be able to be fulfilled (don't ask for super rare books that are not digitized and obviously no one has access to them)". The book is only available from a small fringe published and not from a major outlet like amazon, so it's doubtful whether it will ever surface. When a request is declined, it doesn't mean that it's prohibited from being fulfilled (we've had such miracles before, and Duffy's "The Devil's Raiments" can be found on annas-archive.org, after all), it's just a message to our book sleuths that looking for it is pretty pointless (who may see it as a challenge and search the net for it despite of that).
