I'm an eclectic assortment of power and pride. I don't need rules or labels. Though if there was one I would lay claim to every time, it is as simple as it is misunderstood. I am a witch.

Rima was employed in the Goncalves Library, a small and impoverished specialist archive in twenty-first century Seville, Spain, which houses an eclectic collection of books and manuscripts. There are hidden treasures a the Goncalves, including a dusty discovery that Rima unearthed, an English commonplace book from the late sixteenth century. Rima was forced out of her job there and found employment at the Congregation's library on the Isola della Stella, in Venice, after the previous librarian and secretary (traditionally always a human) died of a heart attack.

Britain provides an example of the often paradoxical nature of pagan revival. The actually existing witchcraft of the British Isles in the early modern period bears little resemblance either to ancient Celtic or Saxon polytheism, nor to Wicca, which arises in 20th century Britain as a synthesis of pagan ritual seen through the lens of 19th and early 20th century scholarship, along with the occult tradition and elements of Tantric Hinduism from colonial informants. Actually existing British witchcraft, known especially in the form of so-called ‘cunning men’ (and women), was instead inseparable from folk Christianity. To the degree that other Gods featured in its practices, ‘Classical’, that is, Graeco-Roman paganism, was rather more accessible to its literate practitioners than any surviving elements of Celtic or Saxon traditions. The ‘Classical’ Gods, however, were firmly identified by such practitioners with the planets, and Their agency tightly constrained through this determinism. The ‘spirits’ per se known to such witches and magicians, highly eclectic in origin, and accorded more agency, were in turn engaged not through theistic worship, but through pacts.
