Experts in disguise, infiltration, espionage and counterintelligence, the ninja had spiritual values and magical traditions that distinguished them from the soldierlike samurai. Their art of ninjutsu, invisible as well as indispensable, was transmitted in secret schools and relied on only a few books, which were written in code.
Taking the stance that magic and spell-working have always lain at the heart of our desire to improve our situation, this volume offers a brief history of witchcraft before detailing the tools required to perform spells, the properties of different herbs and oils, and the deities to call upon.
