The Compleat Vampyre: The Vampyre Shaman, Werewolves, Witchery & the Dark Mythology of the Undead

by Nigel Jackson

Owing nothing to Bram Stoker and other popular fiction, this book is a unique, detailed and well researched work covering vampyre shamanism and wolf cults in Europe. The European vampyre figure originates in the dim mists of antiquity, with roots extending far back into the tribal cultures of the Slavs, Celts and Teutons. Nigel Jackson is a noted artist in addition to his writing skills and the text is highlighted by his original gothic style illustrations. A fascinating book where religion, myth, magic, legend and fact all come together. 190 pages, illustrated.

okay so it didnt actually give context on the witchery, or the contents of whatsoever dark magicks but it just tackled the history of the languages on where it came from, different beliefs and myths, yada yada. Its good for research though, like a source
