Buy The Book of Secrets - The Words and Gestures That Heal from our esoteric shop
The result of a long investigation conducted by sociologist Dominique Camus, The Book of Secrets - The Words and Gestures That Heal explores the world of healers, fire cutters, and holders of healing prayers. The author examines the practices attributed to them, accounts of relief associated with these traditions, and the mechanisms of transmission surrounding this popular knowledge. The book is therefore a particularly interesting document on a still very vibrant aspect of French rural and family practices.
An Investigation into Healers and Their Practices
Dominique Camus revisits the abilities traditionally attributed to healers, particularly the relief of pain and soothing of burns, shingles, or fever. He compares testimonies, practitioners' accounts, and transmission traditions in order to better understand the origins of these practices and the place they occupy in popular culture. The book also examines the gestures, words, and conditions under which this knowledge is supposed to be passed from one person to another.
Healing Prayers and Transmitted Secrets
The book also brings together numerous healing prayers classified by ailment, collected throughout the author's research. They allow readers to discover in concrete terms the formulas used in these traditions and to study their structure, vocabulary, and symbolic function. This book is intended for people interested in healers, folk traditions, Christian magic, and spiritual healing practices, offering both a documentary and practical approach.
Dominique Camus is a French ethnologist, sociologist, and historian, recognized for his in-depth research on popular beliefs and magical practices in France.

For over forty years, Dominique Camus has dedicated himself to the study of tales, legends, and magical-religious practices in contemporary France. He is the author of around forty works dealing with folklore, healers, seers, and witchcraft.
Here, we don’t judge.
No matter where you come from, what you believe in, or what you’re looking for: you belong here. You can be a beginner, curious, a casual practitioner, or a daily witch. What matters is sincere intention.
We believe in all forms of magic.
High magic and its rigorous rituals deserve as much respect as spells passed down in the countryside. We read grimoires, respect rites, listen to old stories. Everything practiced with faith deserves serious and curious attention.
We welcome all traditions.
We don’t put one path above another. We talk hoodoo, kabbalah, Christian prayers, elemental magic, folk rituals, Celtic symbols. What matters is respect. Not the label.
