Long Hidden Friend
''The Long Hidden Friend'', ''The Long Lost Friend'', or ''The Long Secreted Friend'' (among other titles) are English language titles of a book by John George Hohman first known to be published in German in 1820 and titled ''Der lange verborgene Freund''. Hohman was a Pennsylvania Dutch powwower and the book is a collection of folk remedies. Historically, powwowers utilized a corpus of literature, some of which prescribed rituals and incantations. These include the use of Bible verses, Albertus Magnus's ''Egyptian Secrets'', less commonly the ''Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses'', but often Hohman's ''Long Hidden Friend''.Kreibel 2006: 102. For more discussion from Kreibel on this and related books, see Kreibel 2017: 343-347. Hohman's book was especially influential. For example, scholar Don Yoder references to it as "a standard printed corpus of magical charms for the Pennsylvania Germans".

John George Hohman
Johann Georg Hohman (also spelled John George Hohman, and his surname sometimes misspelled as Hoffman) was a German-American printer, book seller and compiler of collections of herbal remedies, magical healings, and charms.
