  A Spectre Haunting

  China Miéville

  In 1848, THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO was published by two émigrés from Germany. Marx and Engels' apocalyptic vision of an insatiable system that penetrates every corner of the world reduces every relationship to that of profit, and burst asunder the old forms of production and of politics. It is still a recognisable picture of our world – the vampiric energy of the system being once again highly contentious. 
   
  The Manifesto is a text that shows no sign of fading into antiquarian obscurity. Its ideas animate in different ways the work of writers like Yanis Varoufakis, Adam Tooze, Naomi Klein and the journalist Owen Jones. 
   
  China Mieville is not a writer who has been hemmed in by conventional notions of expertise or genre, and this is a strikingly imaginative take on Marx and what his most haunting book has to say to us today.

  A long-treasured but forgotten classic of folk healing, with an introduction and commentary by the author of Backwoods Witchcraft and Doctoring the Devil. 
   
   
   
  Ossman & Steel's Guide to Health or Household Instructor (its original title) is a collection of spells, remedies, and charms. The book draws from the old Pennsylvania Dutch and German powwow healing practices that in turn helped shape Appalachian folk healing, conjure, root work, and many folk healing traditions in America. Jake Richards, author of Backwoods Witchcraft and Doctoring the Devil, puts these remedies in context, with practical advice for modern-day "backwoods" healers interested in using them today. 
   
   
   
  The first part contains spells and charms for healing wounds, sties, broken bones, maladies, and illnesses of all sorts. The second part includes other folk remedies using ingredients based on sympathetic reasoning, including sulfuric acid, gunpowder, or other substances for swelling, toothache, headache, and so on. These remedies are presented here for historic interest, to help better understand how folk medicine evolved in America. It is Jake Richards's hope that reintroducing this work will reestablish its position as a useful household helper in the library of every witch or country healer.

  Medieval Medicine - Practices...

  Medieval medicine was deeply rooted in the knowledge and traditions inherited from antiquity. The healing practices of this era were shaped by ancient medical texts, religious doctrine, and the widespread belief in the humoral theory. These influences created a medical system that blended scientific understanding with spiritual and superstitious elements, guiding both diagnosis and treatment. 
  Ancient medical texts played a crucial role in shaping medieval medical thought. The works of Greek and Roman physicians, particularly Hippocrates and Galen, were preserved and studied throughout the Middle Ages. Their teachings on anatomy, physiology, and disease informed medical practice for centuries. Galen’s theories, in particular, dominated medieval medicine, as they were seen as authoritative explanations of bodily functions and imbalances. Additionally, medical knowledge from the Islamic world, especially from scholars such as Avicenna and Al-Razi, was translated into Latin and integrated into European medical education. These texts provided new insights and expanded the understanding of disease and treatment methods. 
  Religion was a dominant force in medieval medical practices. The Christian Church played a central role in both medical care and the dissemination of medical knowledge. Many hospitals were founded and operated by religious institutions, and healing was often associated with divine intervention. Monks and priests studied medical texts, offering treatments based on both practical remedies and spiritual practices. Prayers, relics, and pilgrimages to sacred sites were commonly sought as cures for illnesses. Saints were believed to have healing powers, and their relics were used in healing rituals. Despite the reliance on faith-based healing, religious institutions also preserved and transmitted valuable medical knowledge, ensuring that ancient texts survived and continued to influence medieval medical practices.
