Master Nalgah

Crows are smart birds and I rather like them.

Master Nalgah is named for the dæmon Nalgah mentioned in Reginald Scot’s The Discoverie of Witchcraft 1665.

‘Nal-gah appearing to those that are devoted to the knowledge of Magick; teaching them how to exercise Infernal Witchcraft without danger, and in despight to the Devils: he must be sought by hours, minutes, constellations, privacy and blood, &c. He hath a bow bent in his hand, and a Crown of Gold upon his head.’
