Akabur Witch Trainer is an adult game developed by Akabur and inspired by the popular Harry Potter series. In this game, players take on the role of a wizard who is tasked with training and corrupting a group of young witches. The main **idea** behind the game centers around the exploration of sexuality and power dynamics. Players are able to interact with various characters and make choices that affect the game's storyline. Through a combination of dialogue and gameplay, the player can influence the development and training of the witches. The game features explicit adult content, including sexual scenes and nudity, which is a **key aspect** of its overall theme.
This particular copy was acquired in 1932 by John Crichton-Stuart, 4th Marquess of Bute (1881-1947), and it was number 83 in a Maggs Bros. sale entitled ‘Curiouser and Curiouser: A Catalogue of Strange Books and Curious Titles’. The 4th Marquess of Bute is well-known for his numerous building restoration projects, but he was also an avid bibliophile with an interest in early modern history. The Discoverie of Witchcraft is just one of 25,000 volumes and pamphlets held by the Bute Library at Mount Stuart, which dates from 1477 to the present day.
Almond grapples with Scot s long and intricate text, traces its sources, and highlights the ways Scot picked apart the tenets of European demonology while essentially creating his own Protestant philosophy of spirits, devils, and witches. A common legend says that when James took the English throne as King James I in 1603, he called for all copies of The Discoverie of Witchcraft to be destroyed, but there is no contemporary evidence supporting this statement.
The game features explicit adult content, including sexual scenes and nudity, which is a **key aspect** of its overall theme. The art style is reminiscent of the original Harry Potter series, but with a more adult-oriented approach. Akabur Witch Trainer also explores the darker and more morally ambiguous aspects of power and control.
Sourcebook: Scot's Discoverie of Witchcraft Course Series
A three-part course series exploring the magical source text, Reginald Scot’s infamous Discoverie of Witchcraft (1584). This series consists of three two-hour-long class recordings, as well as a full scan of the Discoverie source text, and information on further course recordings available from Dr Cummins upon request.
Add To CartReginald Scot's Discoverie of Witchcraft – exposé or grimoire? Despite being written in an effort to discredit belief in magic as merely superstitious, Reginald Scot's Discoverie of Witchcraft became an incredibly popular text with the very people Scot was trying to warn his readership about: magical practitioners!
The book became a staple in the modest libraries of folk magicians, and recent scholarship has demonstrated that this tome was in fact popularly received as 'a treasure trove of magical information, providing spells, Catholic prayers, exorcisms, charms, talismans, and rituals on how to communicate with angels, demons, and the spirits of the dead'. One historian has even gone so far as to suggest that Scot produced what amounted to the first grimoire printed in the English language, and while he did so to prove the worthlessness of its contents he unwittingly ended up democratizing ritual magic rather than undermining it.' It is for these reasons that Dr. Alexander Cummins takes us through this source of traditional early modern English cunning-craft, tracing those interrelations of text and tradition.
For certainly Scot's Discoverie was used as a spell-book by cunning-folk in England, and made the journey across the ocean to serve the same needs in early British colonies in the Americas. The charms and amulets described in its pages are still found inside walls and under floors of old buildings, highlighting the practical ends to which this tome's contents were put.
In this course we explore some of these operations: from detailed workings to short spoken and written charms, and from treatises on the nature, behaviour and best working practices of spirits - whether ghosts, fairies, angels, elementals, or devils - to conjuration rites of said spirits. It also explores some of the dominant early modern ideas and counter-arguments concerning witches, witchcraft, familiar spirits, sorcery, demonic pacts, and the ministrations and ministers of the Devil himself.
Those interested in the history and practice of "black magic" should consider study of this incredibly influential early modern text crucial: not only for its contents, which detail a variety of rituals for summoning and dispatching the shades of the dead to do one's bidding, but also as itself a nigromantic work which turned many readers into practitioners despite its own warnings and the author's intention.
The course is supported by close reading of scans of the 1584 and 1665 editions of Scot's Discoverie, along with other contextualising documents - including both historian's accounts and other contemporaneous primary sources – full scans are provided to the inquiring student.
This three-part course series breaks down into the following two-hour-long classes:
Session 1: Reception, Contexts, & Uses
In which we go over fundamental informations concerning the biography of Scot himself, as well as the historical contexts of the Discoverie’s theology, magic, and witchcraft.
Session 2: A Complete Guided Tour
In which we take a detailed roadtrip through the sixteen books of the Discoverie, as well examining the appended Discourse Concerning the Nature & Substance of Devils and Spirits of the 1665 expanded edition of the source text.
Session 3: Spellcraft
In which are discussed the practical materials found in the Discoverie and their applications: from consecrations, to work with wands, dirts, circles, demonology, and some of the more mysterious protocols of spirit conjuration.
By purchasing this class, you agree that you understand that no part of the material dictated or provided throughout the duration of the course may be reproduced, distributed, or used in any other form (neither electronic nor mechanic, including photocopies and recordings), without the direct and written consent of the instructor, Dr Alexander Cummins.
The **gameplay** revolves around manipulating the witches to bend to the player's will, making choices that can potentially corrupt or redeem them. Though the game has garnered a dedicated fanbase and positive reviews for its engaging storyline and character development, it has also faced criticism for its explicit content and portrayal of women. Overall, Akabur Witch Trainer offers a unique and mature take on the Harry Potter universe. It delves into themes of power, control, and sexuality, providing players with an immersive and provocative gaming experience..

- Jessica - 1 star - I found "Akabur witch trainer" to be extremely overhyped and disappointing. The story seemed shallow and predictable, with predictable character arcs and lackluster dialogue. The artwork was mediocre at best, with many of the characters looking awkwardly proportioned and poorly drawn.

- Mark - 2 stars - While "Akabur witch trainer" had an interesting premise, I felt that the execution fell flat. The game lacked depth and development in terms of both story and characters. There were many missed opportunities to explore the unique world and delve into the motivations of the protagonist. The gameplay consisted mainly of repetitive tasks and dialogue choices that hardly made a difference. The art style, although decent, didn't compensate for the lackluster storyline. I was left feeling underwhelmed and unsatisfied with the overall experience.
- Sarah - 1 star - "Akabur witch trainer" was a waste of time and money. The storyline was incredibly shallow and had no substance. It felt like a cheap attempt to cash in on the popularity of similar games. The characters were one-dimensional and uninteresting, making it hard to invest in their narrative arcs. The visuals were uninspiring, with lackluster backgrounds and poorly designed characters.
