Traditional Witchcraft (58 books)

Listopia > Traditional Witchcraft

Fiction and non-fiction books of relevance to practitioners of pre-modern traditional witchcraft. Themes include but are not limited to spirit pacting, dark fairy lore, soul flight, sabbatic rites, bioregional animism, wortcunning, and the like. Please refrain from adding texts that relate primarily to neo-paganism, New Age spirituality, Ceremonial Magic, or Wicca, as those are already well represented in other Goodreads Lists.
