  Cursed Britain unveils the enduring power of witchcraft, curses, and black magic in modern times. Few topics are so secretive or controversial. Yet, whether in the 1800s or the early 2000s, when disasters struck or personal misfortunes mounted, many Britons found themselves believing in things they had previously dismissed—dark supernatural forces.Historian Thomas Waters here explores the lives of cursed or bewitched people, along with the witches and witch-busters who helped and harmed them. Waters takes us on a fascinating journey from Scottish islands to the folklore-rich West Country, from the immense territories of the British Empire to metropolitan London. We learn why magic caters to deep-seated human needs but see how it can also be abused and discover how witchcraft survives by evolving and changing. Along the way, we examine an array of remarkable beliefs and rituals, from traditional folk magic to diverse spiritualities originating in Africa and Asia.This is a tale of cynical quacks and sincere magical healers, depressed people and furious vigilantes, innocent victims and rogues who claimed to possess evil abilities. Their spellbinding stories raise important questions about the state's role in regulating radical spiritualities, the fragility of secularism, and the true nature of magic.

  Despite the fact that most owners of small and medium size businesses work hard in their businesses, failure rates remain as high as 80% within the first 5 years. Something must be wrong! In Put Your Business on Autopilot in 12 Months or Less, Greg Roworth suggests that most businesses are actually built on a fatal flaw?—the harder you work, the harder it is to succeed in your small business. Put Your Business on Autopilot in 12 Months or Less shows business owners a new way to view their business. Based on 30 years practical experience, the 7 step system Roworth reveals shows business owners how to avoid the normal traps that reduce the typical business owner's life to one of slavery to the business, and how to create the business of their dreams—one that works for the owners, rather than the other way around.

  “An unusual combination of illustrated guidebook and in-depth narrative” on the hidden treasures of these islands just north of Scotland (Scots Magazine).   An archipelago twenty miles north of mainland Scotland, Orkney for many centuries had a culture more Scandinavian than Scottish. Strong westerly winds account for both its scarcity of trees and its tradition of well-constructed stone structures, and as a result, the islands boast a large number of exceptionally well-preserved remains which help us form a detailed picture of Orcadian life through the ages.   Sites and remains to be explored include settlements from the Stone Age, stone circles and burials from the Bronze Age, Iron Age brochs, Viking castles, the magnificent cathedral of St. Magnus in Kirkwall, Renaissance palaces, a Martello tower from the Napoleonic Wars, and numerous remains from the Second World War. In this updated edition of her bestselling book, Caroline Wickham-Jones, who has worked extensively on Orcadian sites for many years, introduces the history of the islands—and provides a detailed survey of the principal places and sites of historic interest.
