“Old World Witchcraft: Ancient Ways for Modern Days” by Raven Grimassi

"In Old World Witchcraft, noted author Raven Grimassi covers totally new territory in his work and in the world of popular witchcraft books published in the last few decades. This book is actually about "an enchanted worldview", one that has not necessarily been inherited from the beliefs and practices of any particular region and one which is available to us today.

“The Book of the Holy Strega” by Raven Grimassi
