“I met Roie towards the end of her life in 1977, when she had already become a recluse … She was somewhat frail but still extremely mentally alert with expressive eyes and a hearty laugh. She even invited us to share a LSD trip with her but in the gloomy recesses of her basement flat we shuddered to think of the shadowy beings we might unleash.” (Introduction, p.v).

 A moving biography of the art, life and magical practices of King Cross witch Rosaleen Norton.
