Troy Books

An independent bookseller in the UK specializing in "operative magic, ceremonial occultism, witchcraft, regional folklore and custom and freemasonry." The website is really well done. A lot of harder to find witchcraft authors for us in the States. Shipping is fair as well and not a terrible amount of time. I bought Black Dog Folklore by Mark Norman.

They also have an esoterica shoppe.

... Read moreAs an avid reader and collector of esoteric literature, I found Troy Books to be a hidden gem that caters to enthusiasts like myself who seek deeper knowledge in obscure magical and folkloric traditions. Their specialization in operative magic and ceremonial occultism sets them apart from mainstream bookstores, providing access to works that are often hard to come by—especially in the United States. When I purchased "Black Dog Folklore" by Mark Norman from their collection, I appreciated not only the depth of knowledge it shared but also the quality of the book's production, which aligns with Troy Books' commitment to both unlimited paperbacks and exquisite limited edition bindings. This attention to craftsmanship adds an extra layer of value for collectors and scholars alike. Additionally, their esoterica shop complements the reading experience by offering related items that help deepen one’s engagement with these ancient and sometimes arcane practices. I found their website intuitive and informative, making browsing a pleasure as I explored various topics within witchcraft, freemasonry, and regional customs. Shipping times and costs were reasonable, which makes Troy Books a great resource for enthusiasts across the Atlantic. For anyone interested in specialized occult and folklore literature, whether academic or personal study, this independent publisher provides a trustworthy and rich source of rare material that can greatly enhance your library and understanding of these fascinating fields.
