Great Mother, The
Necronomicon
Review:
Marketed as real but utterly fake, the Necronomicon ("Book of Dead Names") existed only in H.P. Lovecraft's horror fiction, and even there only by allusion to its eldritch-sounding title. But if you're a Lovecraft fan like *Diuvei, you'll want to have it on your bookshelf just for its own sake — and to observe who does or doesn't recognize it for what it is.

Long Lost Friend
Review:
A goodly scholarly treatment and reprinting of the most famous American book on spells and herbal remedies — the authentic, early 19th-century Pennsylvania Dutch grimoire The Long Lost Friend. Edited with added spells from alternative versions by anthropologist Daniel Harms, and a foreword by Esoteric Archives curator Joseph H. Peterson.

Etruscan Roman Remains
Review:
A facsimile copy of the folklorist’s authentic 1892 masterwork revealing the beliefs, customs, deities, formulas, recipes, rites, and spells practiced and prized by 19th-century Witches in Tuscany. Written by the President of the Gypsy-Lore Society, this classic is the only book to list names of pesky daimons that plague lonely men and women, etc.

Buckland’s Complete Book of Witchcraft
Review:
The famous "blue book" features illustrated, authentically traditional magic authored by the first Gardner-trained Third Degree Witch to publish such material in America. However it cannot, as promised, impart the reader “the equivalent of Third Degree.”

Witches Bible
Review:
Illustrated with nude photographs, this book features modern British Alexandrian magic with an Irish emphasis; objectionable because: Its title is ungrammatical and contains an Xtian term, the term “complete” is arrogant, and the authors broke vows by including Gardnerian material forbidden to be printed.
