  • Aradia or the Gospel of the Witches (79 pages) Charles Leland. After years of trying Charles Leland met a practicing Italian witch by the name of Maddelena, who transmitted to him the teachings of Italian witchcraft. The words (stories) have become Aradia or the Gospel of the Witches. This manuscript, reportedly handed down in an oral tradition, was later translated and published in the late 1800's. While it is true that Maddelena's involvement with Leland cannot be proven, the fact remains that even with an uncertain origin, Aradia is one of the most important manuscripts available to the Pagan community. It most definitely presents such a powerful message that even today its words are found repeatedly in various literatures. It is the foundation for one of the most powerful and well-known documents in modern Pagan lore, The Charge of the Goddess.

  • God of the Witches (116 pages) Margaret Murray. This celebrated study of witchcraft in Europe traces the worship of the pre-Christian and prehistoric Horned God from paleolithic times to the medieval period. Murray, the first to turn a scholarly eye on the mysteries of witchcraft, enables us to see its existence in the Middle Ages not as an isolated and terrifying phenomenon, but as the survival of a religion nearly as old as humankind itself, whose devotees held passionately to a view of life threatened by an alien creed. The findings she sets forth, once thought of as provocative and implausible, are now regarded as irrefutable by folklorists and scholars in related fields. Exploring the rites and ceremonies associated with witchcraft, Murray establishes the concept of the "dying god"--the priest-king who was ritually killed to ensure the country and its people a continuity of fertility and strength. In this light, she considers such figures as Thomas a Becket, Joan of Arc, and Gilles de Rais as spiritual leaders whose deaths were ritually imposed. Truly a classic work of anthropology, and written in a clear, accessible style that anyone can enjoy, The God of the Witches forces us to reevaluate our thoughts about an ancient and vital religion.

  • The Witch-Cult in Western Europe (182 pages) Margaret Murray. This is an intensive study of the witch cult in Great Britain. The author uses French and Flemish sources to obtain a clearer understanding of the ritual and beliefs, as the witch cult appears to be the same throughout western Europe. The sources from which the information used within are the judicial records and contemporary chroniclers. In the case of the chroniclers, the author studied their facts, not their opinions.

  • The Golden Bough (547 pages) Sir James Frazer. Frazer's The Golden Bough is one of the great books of our culture written by one of the great scholars of our time. To read it is to share in the adventure of mankind's cultural odyssey, and to undergo an enlargement in one's own sympathy and understanding for one's fellow beings....It is a book to be read and re-read.

  • Mastering Witchcraft (188 pages) Paul Huson. This book is a practical how to guide for those who are interested in witchcraft as a practice. Do not confuse this with Crowley or related authors either. You will not find the popular "k" spelling for magic here either. Aliester Crowley created the "ick" spelling for magic, the author of this book Paul Huson has no such delusions. This book is for those who are serious about witchcraft as a practical, hands on, practice.

  • A Witch Alone: Thirteen Moons to Master Natural Magic (139 pages) Marian Green. Written for serious practitioners, Marian Green's Witch Alone: Thirteen Moons to Master Natural Magic guides those who wish to learn the "old religion" without the aid of a coven. Densely written in a serious tone, Witch Alone is nonetheless an inspiring and poetic read. Exercises at the end of each chapter are designed to take a full 28 nights to accomplish, and are designed to progressively lead one down the path to success. Worshippers of the goddess and those interested in exploring the deeper aspects of their own souls will find this tome deeply informative, but for the neo-pagan committed to learning solitary witchcraft, Witch Alone is a must-read.

  • Witchcraft for All (109 pages) Louise Huebner

  • Malleus Maleficarum (729 pages) by Heinrich Kramer and James Sprenger. The Malleus Maleficarum ("The Hammer of Witches", “Witch Hammer”, or the "Hexenhammer") is arguably the most important treatise on prosecuting witches to have come out of the witch hysteria of the Renaissance. It is a comprehensive witch-hunter’s handbook first published in Germany in 1487 that grew into dozens of editions spread throughout Europe and had a profound impact on witch trials on the Continent for about 200 years. This work is notorious for its use in the witch hunt hysteria which peaked in the mid-16th through mid-17th centuries.

  • Daemonologie (45 pages) The "Demonologie" of James VI was an important text in the history of Scottish and English Witch trials. James developed something of an obsession with Witches and of hunting them following a plot by the Berwick Witches to shipwreck him when on his way home from Denmark. Following this attempt James wrote the Demonologie and gave his support and whole-hearted approval to the attempt to try and execute Witches within Scotland. After he became King of England in 1603 James' book was then anglicised and reprinted in England.

  • The Essential Skills of Magick (12 pages) Benjamin Rowe

  • The Book of Halloween by Ruth Edna Kelley (78 pages) This book is intended to give the reader an account of the origin and history of Hallowe’en, how it absorbed some customs belonging to other days in the year,—such as May Day, Midsummer, and Christmas. The context is illustrated by selections from ancient and modern poetry and prose, related to Hallowe’en ideas.

  • A Practical Guide to Witchcraft and Magic Spells: Take Advantage of Natural Forces of Life (283 pages) Cassandra Eason

  • The Witch's Spellcraft @500cr (130 pages) Many spells using oils, candles, dolls, seals and incense.

  • Alexandrian Book of Shadows (102 pages) Compiled by Sekhet Sophia

  • Gardnerian Book of Shadows (74 pages) version compiled by Aidan A. Kelly. This is the text of the Gardnerian Book of Shadows. In one sense, this is the central sacred text of the Wicca religion. However, it is important to point out that there is no 'official' Book of Shadows. Typically each coven has a hand-written copy of a Book of Shadows, sometimes in cypher or code, which reflects its own practices and knowledge. This particular text is derived from a file posted on the Internet in the early 90s, and quotes previously published material which was known to be in use by Gardner and his group.

  • The Darkside of the Moon - A Complete Course in Magic and Witchcraft (119 pages) @500cr Rare text that gives a variety of insights into creation of Thralls, secrets of Gypsy Sorcerers, dark Necromantic practices, potent magic and much more!

  • Witchcraft: A Concise Guide by Isaac Bonewits @200cr (216 pages) You will seldom find a more terse, cogent, and readable work on contemporary Wicca and an essential reading for Pagans.

  • Raymond Bucklands - Complete Book Of Witchcraft @300cr (261 pages) This 1986 classic is not only an excellent introduction to the Wiccan religion and earth-based religions in general, it's also a workbook that can take the serious student to the equivalent level of third-degree Gardnerian. Though Raymond Buckland was a student of the late great Gerald Gardner, this manual does not adhere to a specific branch or denomination of witchcraft, but rather seeks to teach the elements and philosophies common to all, whether Celtic, Saxon, Finnish, or what have you. Buckland is credited with bringing the "old religion" to the U.S., and covens and solitary witches practicing the craft in the U.S. today have him to thank for getting it out of the closet. While Buckland's Complete Book of Witchcraft is a must-have for any serious Wiccan practitioner, it is full of down-to-earth spiritual wisdom, which makes it a wonderful addition to the library of any broadminded seeker on the path toward the One.

  • The Mystical World Of Ancient Witchcraft (107 pages) Exactly what the power (the Magick energy) is inside of you, and how you can tap into it to cast spells for almost any of your desires… The importance of your sacred space… and exactly how to create your external sacred space so that you are fully protected when you do your Magick work (and you’ll also find out how to get your sacred space to actually allow your Magick energy to “build up” so that when you release it in your spell it is even more powerful) and more.

  • Alex Sanders - The King of the Witches (155 pages) This Book is a cornerstone of Wiccan Literature. It is easy to read in biography form and explains a number of complex phenomena that were then taking place within wicca during the early generation of this past century. As it tells the story of his life, the book explores intricate balances of life and death, good and evil and of course the tender standing of wicca to the only just repealed laws forbidding the public practice of any sort of witch craft. It includes fascinating accounts of coven meetings and eary structure, sets the standard for known practise and is a must-read, along with Gerald Gardener's "Witchcraft Today". The emergance of hereditary witchcraft into mainstream society was institutionalised by the leadership of these men and their contribution of not only the newly unvieled shadows of craft, but also mystic lore of past ages and knowledge of ancient secrets and grimoires all has come to form what we recognise today as modern wicca

Curse Tablets and Binding Spells from the Ancient World

by John G. Gager

 

Paperback: 296 pages

Publisher: Oxford University Press; New Ed edition (August 1, 1999)

Product Dimensions: 8.2 x 5.5 x 0.7 inches

Shipping Weight: 13.9 ounces.

In the ancient Greco-Roman world, it was common practice to curse or bind an enemy or rival by writing an incantation on a tablet and dedicating it to a god or spirit. These curses or binding spells, commonly called defixiones were intended to bring other people under the power and control of those who commissioned them.

More than a thousand such texts, written between the 5th Century B.C.E. and the 5th Century C.E., have been discovered from North Africa to England, and from Syria to Spain. Extending into every aspect of ancient life--athletic and theatrical competitions, judicial proceedings, love affairs, business rivalries, and the recovery of stolen property--they shed light on a new dimension of classical study previously inaccessible. Here, for the first time, these texts have been translated into English with a substantial translator's introduction revealing the cultural, social, and historical context for the texts. This book will interest historians, classicists, scholars of religion, and those concerned with ancient magic.

Ancient Christian Magic

by Marvin W. Meyer, Richard Smith

Paperback: 432 pages

Publisher: Princeton University Press (March 15, 1999)

Product Dimensions: 9.2 x 6.2 x 1.2 inches

This thought-provoking collection of magical texts from ancient Egypt shows the exotic rituals, esoteric healing practices, and incantatory and supernatural dimensions that flowered in early Christianity. These remarkable Christian magical texts include curses, spells of protection from "headless powers" and evil spirits, spells invoking thunderous powers, descriptions of fire baptism, and even recipes from a magical "cookbook." Virtually all the texts are by Coptic Christians, and they date from about the 1st-12th centuries of the common era, with the majority from late antiquity. By placing these rarely seen texts in historical context and discussing their significance, the authors explore the place of healing, prayer, miracles, and magic in the early Christian experience, and expand our understanding of Christianity and Gnosticism as a vital folk religion.

Greek and Roman Necromancy

by Daniel Ogden


For specialists, this is a treasure trove of the ancient evidence on necromancy and its related modern scholarship.

In classical antiquity, there was much interest in necromancy--the consultation of the dead for divination. People could seek knowledge from the dead by sleeping on tombs, visiting oracles, and attempting to reanimate corpses and skulls. Ranging over many of the lands in which Greek and Roman civilizations flourished, including Egypt, from the Greek archaic period through the late Roman empire, this book is the first comprehensive survey of the subject ever published in any language.


Daniel Ogden surveys the places, performers, and techniques of necromancy as well as the reasons for turning to it. He investigates the cave-based sites of oracles of the dead at Heracleia Pontica and Tainaron, as well as the oracles at the Acheron and Avernus, which probably consisted of lakeside precincts. He argues that the Acheron oracle has been long misidentified, and considers in detail the traditions attached to each site. Readers meet the personnel--real or imagined--of ancient necromancy: ghosts, zombies, the earliest vampires, evocators, sorcerers, shamans, Persian magi, Chaldaeans, Egyptians, Roman emperors, and witches from Circe to Medea. Ogden explains the technologies used to evocate or reanimate the dead and to compel them to disgorge their secrets. He concludes by examining ancient beliefs about ghosts and their wisdom--beliefs that underpinned and justified the practice of necromancy.

The first of its kind and filled with information, this volume will be of central importance to those interested in the rapidly expanding, inherently fascinating, and intellectually exciting subjects of ghosts and magic in antiquity.
