I read a lot of books on witchcraft and history, but this book really stands out. If you love historical perspectives on witchcraft, or you just plain love history with an interesting view, this book is definitely for you!

I wasn’t quite expecting this much insight into the topic, but the author really delves into the topic. Using the historical references and material that came before him, he expands upon it and delivers an extremely riveting deep dive view that you will find most interesting.

It's not very common to find books about traditional witchcraft so I was really happy to start this one, and I loved it as it covers all the topics that are important to build a modern but still traditional path.

A fascinating and well-researched book on the life and work of an enigmatic man and his legacy. Very readable and beginner-friendly when you're new to these topics.
