The Summoning Issue, containing an editorial introduction and the following articles…
Hell is Other Readers: Christine Ferguson recounts stories of mysterious books and arcane manuscripts to reflect on the anxieties they embody.
The Devil’s Prayer Book: In Ireland, card decks became known as The Devil’s Prayer Book, and a simple game could be an act of summoning. Victoria Anne Pearson tells tales of leisurely gatherings joined by cloven-footed strangers.
Spinster Satanism: The tale of a quirky spinster who finds emancipation through Satan became a bestseller in the 1920s, arousing fears of a witchcraft revival. Per Faxneld examines the enduring legacy of Sylvia Townsend Warner’s Lolly Willowes.
Gallery / Technologies of the Séance Room: Efram Sera-Shriar presents some of the most fascinating occult stories hiding behind seemingly mundane objects in the collections of the Museums of Science.
The House of the Great Beast: The infamous Scottish home of Aleister Crowley had a sinister legacy even before the Great Beast’s tenure there. John Reppion unearths the secrets of Boleskin House, from necromancers to a ghostly severed head.
The Land Between God and the Devil: Katherine Weikert discusses early Medieval fears of barrows as liminal places, where criminals were executed and witches gathered to summon the Devil.
Conjuring the Cunning Man: Verity Holloway on the life and afterlife of George Pickingill, the Essex farm labourer who went from taming sheep and curing warts to being hailed as a touchstone of modern witchcraft.
Dr Dee’s Ottoman Adventure: His supposed dealings with the Devil soiled his reputation in Britain, but Dr John Dee, argues Matthew Melvin-Koushki, would have thrived at the Ottoman Court.
Remember, Remember: Francis Young on the many masks of Guy Fawkes and how the 5th of November became a ritual performance infused with different meanings.

92-page perfectbound pamphlet with black-and-white and tinted illustrations and photographs throughout. With design by Nathaniel Winter-Hébert and a cover by Courtney Brooke.
