Accessing a diverse array of historical and folkloric sources. A.D. Mercer The Wicked Shall Decay gathers together a collection of obscure British magic. Featuring curses, anti-witchcraft spells and hedges against malevolent power.

The arsenal of folk-magical armaments against such powers included charms, spells, rituals, sigils, and magical square. As well as the use of magical herbs and words of power. Many of these practices resembled in method and materiel the very evil they were meant to combat. Embodying in themselves a savour of the sinister and demonic.
Greatly treasured in their day for their efficacy. These rites document a widespread tradition of ‘dark folk magic’ and are of value to the research of both scholar and esoteric practitioner alike.
