The Magical Practices of the Pennsylvania Dutch Discover the magic behind the enchanting Hex Symbols In Pennsylvania Dutch country, among the Old Order Amish and the strict Mennoni te congregations who live their lives parallel to modern society, there remains the remnants of one of the oldest European magical practices found in America: Hex, or Hex und Speilwerk. In Hex and Spellwork, third generation Hexenmeister Karl Herr teaches the actual practices and examines the history of the Swiss-German traditions from which Hex und Speilwerk are derived. Hex work echoes the magical arts that reach back to the earliest beginnings of human civilization. Evoked to assist people in health and earthly prosperity and to achieve what they legitimately desire in life, or to counteract the negative spell of a witch, hex is positive magic, never used for evil. Hex work is firmly founded in the Christian religion, with a liberal dose of Swiss-German folk superstition. Paperback: 144 pages Dimensions: 8.5 x 0.25 x 5.5 inches Show more
