This evening a literary ‘jam’ of original poetry and creative writing took place at Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge, inspired by The Cambridge Book of Magic, a 16th-century manuscript of ritual magic I edited and translated back in 2015. A couple of years ago I reflected on the surprising impact of The Cambridge Book of Magic, but I had not imagined it might become a source of literary inspiration. Sadly I was not able to attend the event, but I look forward to seeing some of the writing inspired by the manuscript.
