Hand of Glory (French “Main de Glorie” or “Mandrogore”): (1) The Hand of Glory is likely related to legends concerning the mandrake plant.[1] The earliest mention of it is in texts from the early 18th century. According to the Albertus Parvus Lucii Libellus, the Hand of Glory is the severed hand of a gibbeted criminal. This is cured in a long involved process and a candle set between its fingers. It was variously described as giving protection against burglars or as rendering all who saw it immobile. Waite suggests that originally the Hand of Glory was a serpent, not a hand at all.[2] Belief in it persisted as late as 1831 in Ireland. It was a charm that was lit by a thief to ensure that the occupants of the house that he was burglarizing would sleep soundly. Its preparation is described in Secrets Merveilleux de la Magie Naturelle et Cabalistique du Petit Albert (Cologne, 1722) translated by both Grillot DeGivry and Edgar Arthur Waite: “Take the right hand of a felon who is hanging from a gibbet beside a highway; wrap it in part of a funeral pall and so wrapped squeeze it well [to get out all the blood]. then put it into an earthenware vessel with zimat, nitre, salt, and long peppers, the whole well powdered. Leave it in this vessel for a fortnight, then take it out and expose it to full sunlight during the dog-days until it become quite dry. If the sun is not strong enough put it in an oven heated with fern and vervain. Next make it a kind of candle with the fat of a gibbeted felon, virgin wax, sesame, and ponie, and use the Hand of Glory as a candlestick to hold this candle when lighted.”[3] An example of such a Hand of Glory can be found in the Whitby Museum in North Yorkshire. The legend lives on in Hollywood B movies such as The Wicker Man.

Handfasting (Deriv. Middle English "handfasten" or "handfesten" (circa 1200 CE). There is a similar Icelandic word: "handfesta" ("hond" (hand) and "festa" (to fasten or pledge)): This archaic word for marriage is now a modern term for weddings in Neo-Pagan religions such as Wicca, Odinism and Ásatrú.

Figure 21 Planets assigned to the Hexagram

Hexagon: A six sided geometric figure (See fig. 18). In the magical system of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn: A figure associated with Tiphareth (q.v.).

Hexagram: (1) Six pointed star, also known as the Star of David and the Magen David. Some texts refer to the hexagram as Solomon's Seal, while others assign this name to the pentagram (five pointed star) instead. The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn referred to it as the Signet Star or the Flaming Hexagram. Usually it is drawn as two equilateral triangles superimposed over one another, one pointing up and one pointing down (see fig. 19), but Crowley, Regardie and others also use a unicursal form, that is easier to draw or trace in one motion (see fig. 20).

Each point of the hexagram is assigned a planet (see fig. 21): The top point to Saturn, the top right point to Jupiter, the lower right point to Venus, the bottom point to the moon, the lower left point to Mercury and the upper left point to Mars. Many traditions trace the sign of the hexagram in the air during ritual. As a general rule, one traces clockwise from the angle whose element you are invoking, and counter-clockwise if you are banishing. In Occidental Ceremonial Magic the hexagram is often separated into four forms:

Hocus Pocus (Variously claimed to be derived from the Latin "hoc est corpus meum" or “hoc ext corpus” (“this is the body”), a phrase used by a Catholic priest in the ritual of the Mass when the bread is believed to become mystically transformed into Christ's body. Actually it is derived from a phoney Latin phrase, “hax pax max Deus adimax”, used by traveling conjurers to impress their audiences. The word hoax is probably a shortened version of hocus pocus.[6]): (1) A phrase used by medieval conjurers in their work. (2) There is a lot of misinformation about this phrase in circulation. For example: (a) On the Demonbusters web site the Madraks tell us that the two most common “spells or charm works having magical import and which are familiar to everyone are: Abracadabra and Hocus-pocus.”[7] They tell us that “The term hocus-pocus is generally used by magicians during sleight-of-hand tricks, or in conjuring and incantations.

Hodening (var. Hoodening): An ancient British Samhain (q.v.) and Yule (q.v.) tradition. On October 31 A man would bear a horse's skull (or wooden horse's head) on a pole. The jaws of the horse's head were often wired and made to snap open and shut. Some of these horse skulls had candles inside them to cast an eerie light. The man bearing the skull covered himself with a stable blanket or sheet. This "Hooden Horse" would go from house to house accompanied by "soulers" who sang traditional seasonal songs.[8] The horse is, as mentioned elsewhere in this book, a symbol of Celtic Goddesses like Epona and Rhiannon. Often the soulers were children, who would sing their ancient souling-songs from door to door in return for gifts or food. In some places special cakes called "Soul cakes", "Saumas cakes", "Soulmas cakes", "Dole cakes" or "Dirge Lwaves" were traditionally handed out to soulers. A traditional Shropshire souler's song goes like this:

"Soul! Soul! for a soul-cake!

I pray you, good missis, a soul-cake!

An apple, a pear, a plum or a cherry,

Or any good thing to make us all merry.

One for Peter, two for Paul

Three for Them who made us all.

Up with the kettle and down with the pan.

Give us good alms, and we'll be gone".[9]

Another, from Staffordshire, goes like this:

"Soul Day! Soul Day!

We've been praying for the souls departed;

So pray, good people, give us a cake,

For we are all poor people, well known to you before,

So give us a cake for charity's sake,

And our blessing we'll leave at your door".[10]
