Overview

These extracts from the diaries of Frances Mary Nottingham (Age 733/4) open a window onto four years of sustained magical work between 2006-2010. They offer a clear, unembellished account of day-to-day practice, written without expectation of publication by a female magician exploring tarot, geomancy, astrology, pathworking the Tree of Life, as well as the conjuration of Elemental, Planetary, Enochian, and Goetic spirits. They show the work as it was done - methodical, grounded, and rooted in the techniques used within many Western esoteric traditions today. Published after her death, the volume includes an introduction by her husband, Gary St Michael Nottingham, who outlines the context of their shared practice, alongside short reflections from those who knew and worked with her. For practitioners seeking real examples rather than theory, these extracts provide a practical window into how sustained magical work unfolds over time - the decisions made, the methods chosen, and the results observed. They stand as a valuable working document for anyone interested in the lived craft of ritual magic, especially those who value primary sources and the often under-represented voices of women in the occult. Frances Mary Nottingham was a British magical practitioner whose work drew on astrology, Kabbalah, and the ceremonial traditions of the Western Esoteric current. Trained in classical astrology and influenced by figures such as William Lilly, she combined meticulous study with regular practical work. She worked closely with her husband, Gary St Michael Nottingham, participating in ritual, pathworking, and spirit conjuration within their shared temple space. A skilled watercolourist as well as a committed student of the Arte, she continued her practice until the onset of the illness that led to her death in 2024. Her diaries stand as a clear record of her working methods and interests.
