“Anglo-Saxon Rune Lore: A Brief Guide to the Anglo-Saxon Runes” by Herne Wyldwood

Magick Matters

"Much has been written about the runes of the Elder Futhark but there seems to be very little on the lore of the Anglo-Saxon runes despite their huge contribution to what we know about all other rune sets. This book has been written to help bring awareness of the heritage and lore of the Anglo-Saxon runes and discuss their use in modern divination and Pagan practice. It is the author's hope that this book inspires a love of the runes and that it helps cultivate a resurgence of interest and practice of the ancient skill of rune magic and help rekindle interest in the Anglo-Saxon culture."...>>

“The Original Folk and Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm: The Complete First Edition” by Brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, translated by Jack Zipes

Magick Matters

"The Original Folk and Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm: The Complete First Edition is a complete and uncensored edition of Grimms’ fairy tales. The 2014 collection was translated into English from the original first edition for the very first time by a professor at the University of Minnesota, Jack Zipes, and features all 156 stories unedited and unchanged. The illustrations are presented in a striking and stark papercut style by visual artist Andrea Dezsö.

“The Ignatius Bible: Revised Standard Version – Burgundy – Second Catholic Edition” by Ignatius Press

Magick Matters

"A completely new design and typeset edition of the popular Ignatius Revised Standard Version-Catholic Edition Bible, with minor revisions to some of the archaic language used in the first edition. This revised version is a contemporary English translation without dumbing-down the text. This second edition of the RSV doesn't put the biblical text through a filter to make it acceptable to current tastes and prejudices, and it retains the beauty of the RSV language that has made it such a joy to read and reflect on the Word of God." No PDF format file since converting a ~3000 pages document is unpractical....>>
