I am often asked about the "many quaint and curious volumes of forgotten lore" I have used as resources for crafting my various articles. It is with great pleasure that I have assembled the small full-text reference library you see to the right. Rest assured I own a hard copy of each of these classic texts and have read or consulted them many times. But you need not run out and purchase a copy yourself. You have only to click on a book on the shelves to the right to see the entire text! How is this possible? Each of these classic books is in the public domain, either because the authors have permitted it, or because they are old enough to be beyond copyright restrictions. There are great riches here, from primary sources of the modern Witchcraft revival, to the pioneering work of the 19th century folklorists. Enough to keep you reading a long while. And I reserve the right to occasionally take a book off the shelf and replace it with another, as E-texts become available. Enjoy! I want to mention a special debt of gratitude to the web site that hosts the majority of these texts: The Internet Sacred Text Archive. Once you're done looking at my picks from their bounty, you may want to explore the site further for yourself.
