“Faiths of Man: A Cyclopædia of Religions” by James George Roche Forlong

"The subject of this work is the evolution or natural growth of religious beliefs throughout the world, from the lowest to the highest forms.

“How To Use The Powers of Darkness: A Book Of Shadows” by Gary Brodsky

"Centuries ago, men understood and controlled forces of unbelievable power. Today little is known about the uses of such dark enchantments. In fact, most of what survives, such as astrology, crystals, and tarot cards, is so watered-down that it's practically meaningless.
