Pishoguery is an Irish evil magic technique that involves the construction of the piseog or pishogue (see previously).
- Pishoguery is founded on the idea that there is a finite quantity of wealth on Earth, therefore if one person gets it, it must ultimately come at the cost of another.
- Malicious magic was mistaken with ancient rites.
- May Day's early morning dew was traditionally collected and sprinkled over crops and animals for plenty and luck.
- Because of its ties to banned Paganism, this procedure was ultimately carried out in secret. Surreptitious conduct drew suspicion, and people were accused of stealing luck.
- Pishoguery was the response: what began as defensive magic aimed at balancing and redirecting wealth energy devolved into destructive, malevolent magic.
