COSMIC DEBRIS: Witchcraft 1970!

Talk about the season of the witch! A gaggle of ads all from a single issue of Fate, Volume 23 - Number 12, December 1970.

MAPS OF THE UNKNOWN: Mu Revealed

Churchward's Mu, or more properly Muror, from Raymond Buckland's Mu Revealed. Buckland published this very dry pastiche as one Tony Earll (which anagrams to "Not Really") with contributions from Professor Reesdon Hurdlop (just a silly name) and Dr. Maud N. Robat - "Robat" being Buckland's "craft name" for magick purposes.

HOW TO BECOME A SENSUOUS WITCH by Abragail and Valaria

If one Love Witch is powerful enough, surely two are even better? Abragrail and Valaria are obvious pseudonyms, though their company The Witches Cauldron may have existed at one time. Dr. Raymond Buckland lends his considerable credibility to an introduction and rituals for money and sexual happiness. Sprinkled throughout are some cute cartoons signed by "Valaria" to take the edge off adding your own urine and blood to dishes meant for your beau.

It's all a bit tongue in cheek, mixing vintage man-crazy "empowerment" with dishes like "Sexy Spam" and "New England Sex Stew" ... and TV Dinners??? I guess it's good for modern Witches to take a night off.
