Looking Inside Witch Bottles

Looking Inside Witch Bottles is written as an introduction to Witch Bottle Analysis - the comprehensive publication of Dr Alan Massey's scientific analysis of the contents of witch bottles. Hair, fingernails, bent brass pins, and iron nails are some of the items added to a bottle of urine that is then sealed and usually buried upside down, often in a fireplace or doorway, as a way of turning a spell back upon a witch to release the victim from her spell.Dr Massey used a combination of scientific equipment to measure and analyse the contents of numerous witch bottles discovered in Great Britain. The results are fascinating.Looking Inside Witch Bottles casts a tantalising glimpse into each of Dr Massey's studies and uses samples of his text to embellish this condensed version.Welcome to the world of Witch Bottles.
