From the back cover:
"The toad has had a colorful and checkered history with its role in magic and folk-lore. It has simultaneously been seen as mid-wife's helper and devil's familiar. At the same time both life giver and life taker. There are toad rituals to protect property and live stock and toad spells to being sickness and calamity. Toads can be used for love charms or they bewitch an enemy with their evil eye and even cause death.
The present work is unique in its comprehensive treatment of the occult history connected to this ambiguous creature. It includes information from many sources that are translated into english for the first timeincluding the entire study by Ernst hentges: 'Die Krote; eine okkultiistisch-kulturgeschichtliche Betractung.'
Also included are sections on the complex nature of toad symbolism in both Eastern and Western Alchemy, as welll as thorough-going theoretical and practical treatments of the arcane art of toad magic."
