Plato’s Complete Works
Review:
You can learn more about magic and Witchcraft from a handful of Plato's dialogues than you can from a warehouse-full of popular modern books. *Diuvei recommends in particular the Republic, the Symposium, Timaeus & Critias, Phaedo, and the Apology.

Greek Magical Papyri
Review:
The title word “Demotic” isn’t a typo of demonic: That material is Coptic. The illustrated main corpus is a collection of 2nd-century B.C.E. to 5th-century C.E. Egypto-Greco-Roman magical spells, rituals, and invocations from ancient papyrus spellbooks, many of them found in the tomb of a magic man in Thebes. Also known as the Papyri Graecae Magicae, or PGM.
