And now, for a personal request:

I would like to ask everyone not to buy the following books or support these authors in any way because their books are plagiarized --

The Book of Tides: Old Sea Witchcraft by Amber AE McDonald
The Sea Witches' Handbook by Angela McKendrick

Ms McDonald's book is a combination of articles plagiarized word for word from my web site with word for word content from Paul Holman's Sea Witch, plus some other content that looks familiar but I have not had time to source properly.

Ms McKendrick's ebook is a combination of articles plagiarized word for word from my web site with content of presently unknown source. Again, looks familiar but can't source it right now. Most of it is random lists of correspondences which seem irrelevant to the practice of sea magick. I think some of this may be generic magick how-to from the Internet Book of Shadows?

If you have accounts on Goodreads or similar, or if you see someone recommending the books, I would appreciate it if you could pass along the info about these plagiarized texts. I am working on getting the books removed from Amazon, but this may take a while from what I hear about Amazon's speed for IP issues.
