The following black book is comprised of old ways and nouveau practices. The old ways do not come from late 20th century re-constructionist witchcraft and druidry, however. They instead come from a long-surviving, aural magick tradition which is still being practised by a few extended pagan families within certain rural locals of the British Isles, areas where the original inhabitants Ñnow termed Celts but originally termed Britons by the Romans Ñ were forced into hiding or exile during the Roman invasion of Britain circa 43 AD.
