Description
Christianity has a darker side, one that is often overlooked in discussions of its rituals and practices. This side of the faith involves the use of cursing and malediction, with roots in the Bible and extending into non-canonical scriptures and folk traditions. The history of Christian malediction is complex and multifaceted, encompassing a range of magical operations from curses to blight on farmland. The practice of invoking the Saints against enemies is also part of this tradition, which has been documented in historical texts known as grimoires or 'Black Books' of European necromancy. This book examines the rich history of Christian malediction, exploring its development and significance over time.
