Call of the Horned Piper is Nigel Aldcroft Jackson’s influential exploration of traditional witchcraft, folklore and the Old Religion of Britain and Europe. It examines the symbolism and mythology surrounding the Horned God, the Wild Hunt, witch-flight, sabbat traditions, spirit roads, folk magic and the mythic landscape of European witchcraft.

The work moves from historical and symbolic material into practical traditional-craft material, including the sacred cycle, magical tools, incantations, spells and pathworking. Illustrated with Jackson’s own distinctive artwork, it became an important early text in the modern traditional witchcraft revival and remains sought after in its original Capall Bann edition.
