Description

Far from being a religion defined by rituals of peace, and love and salvation, Christianity has a dark side which historically embraced the imprecatory arts --rituals of cursing and malediction. Beginning with God's curse upon Adam, Eve, the Serpent, and their descendants, the religion of Jesus Christ embraces a rich tradition of cursing and bringing evil upon others, even if unacknowledged. The magic of hate and harm also had a special place amongst the learned clergy, whose traffic with angels and demons is also known through the historical genre of grimoires, the so-called 'Black Books' of European necromancy. Drawing upon the Bible, as well as non-canonical scriptures and folk traditions, Anathema Maranatha examines the rich history of Christian malediction, from curses to blight farmland to magical operations meant to cause a building to collapse, to invoking the Saints against one's enemies.--Publisher "Publisher"

Author Biography:

Martin Duffy lives in Sussex, England and writes on the subjects of folk magic, mythology and the occult. His short works have appeared in the pages of The Cauldron and Clavis Journal. He also contributed an essay to an anthology published by Llewellyn Worldwide, concerning the manner in which occult philosophy informs and permeates the working of practical folk-magic. Mr. Duffy has two published books from Three Hands Press: The Devil's Raiments, and Effigy, a book of image magic. Residing in Chicago with his wife and two children, Johnny Decker Miller is a writer, illustrator, and painter who draws inspiration for his work from folklore, comparative religion, iconography, magic and witchcraft. His written work has been featured in the journal Wyrd from Three Hands Press and the anthology Pillars: The Scalding of Sapientia from Anathema Publishing. As a visual artist, his work has appeared in Clavis journal and the monograph Rites Necromantic by Martin Duffy (Three Hands Press, 2020). He has exhibited widely, creating public artworks for the Lollapalooza music festival and contributing to the set design of television shows such as The Exorcist.
