What are these creatures hanging from the building or swinging on the needles? They are the gargoyles, mysterious figures that prevent evil or fears away. This book transports you to its strange world through bestiaries, itinerant zoos, grotesques, chimeras of the past, cities and medieval guilds. Gargoyles shows him stone faces, mercies, Janus heads, corbels, Sheila-na-gigs, hagodays and other members of the gargoyle family. They also delve into the history of their crafts, their reason for being and their legends. For modern magicians, Gargoyles explores the role of gargoyles in magical practice: their use in elementary correspondences, magical stone, protection, defense, egregors, talismans, animal associations, rites and spells. It also includes a "field manual" of the gargoyles, ancient and modern, that can be seen and admired today.
