The Feast of Epiphany, marking the appearance and gift-giving of the Three Wise Men, is replete with folklore and folk magic: from chalking the door with blessings for the coming year, to the festivities and living mysteries of Twelfth Night, King-cake, the culmination of the Twelve Days of Christmas and Misrule, wassailing, and the election of a King and Queen of the Twelfth itself.  

Along with various observances of winter merry-making, there are a huge range of various Magian charms and rituals evidencing both grimoiric and folk magical expressions of the patronage of the Three Holy Kings and the Feast of their Adoration.

Such operations include divination and detection by divining rods, treasure-candles, and dream incubation; as well as magical garters for tireless travel, the purifications and exorcisms of the Smoke Nights, and much more besides.

In this class, Magi devotee and contemporary cunning-man Dr Alexander Cummins presents ongoing research into the folklore and folk magic of the Three Kings, and shares some of his personal folk necromantic material for working with the wise and generous dead magicians who may gather under their aegis.

•        An illustrated lecture of 120-minute duration
•        The accompanying slide-deck

“Necromancer (necromantes) he that practises that wicked Art, a Master of the Black Art, one that seeks to the dead; or consults with Satan in the shape of a dead man. The Hebrews describe him thus; he made himself hungry, and then lodged among the Graves, that the dead might come to him in a dream, and make known to him that which he asked, &c. Others there were that clad themselves with cloathes for that purpose, and spoke certain words, burned Incense, and slept by themselves, that such a dead person might come and talk with them in a dream.”
- Thomas Blount, Glossographia (London, 1661)
