Aradia, or the Gospel of the Witches, by Charles Godfrey Leland

Introduction by A. J. Drew.

Today, a great amount of debate exists over whether Aradia was an authentic representation of Italian Witchcraft at the time Leland published the manuscript. Some go so far as to argue that Maddelena never really existed. While it is true that Maddelena"s involvement with Leland cannot be proven, the fact remains that even with its uncertain origin, Aradia is one of the most important manuscripts available to the Pagan community. Even if it does not reflect the ideology of a hidden tradition of Italian Witchcraft, it most definitely presents such a powerful message that, even today its words are repeatedly found throughout Pagan literature. In fact, it is the foundation for one of the most powerful and well known documents in modern pagan lore, " The Charges Of The Goddess ". Paperback. 160 pgs.

High Magic's Aid, by Gerald Gardner

Writing under the nom-de-plume Scire, Gerald B. Gardner published this fictional work in 1946.

The Witch's Formulary and Spellbook, by Tarostar

Modern American practice of the Occult Arts has borrowed heavily from the Craft?s sister religion, which has come to be called Voodoo.

The religious aspects of Voodoo, as practiced in the islands of the West Indies, was filtered out & only the magic & sorcery of its metaphysical side were kept. The spells of the Old New Orleans Tradition have, therefore, become almost standard American "derigeur" & are widely sold through most occult supply shops in this country. This book describes the spells -- which are compiled from various occult writings, regional superstition, & other sources -- & the materials used in these spells. Paperback, 96 pages.
