“Anthology of Black Humour” by Andre Breton

Magick Matters

"This is the first publication in English of the anthology that contains Breton’s definitive statement on l’humour noir, one of the seminal concepts of Surrealism, and his provocative assessments of the writers he most admired.

“The Meaning of Witchcraft” by Gerald Gardner (kindle ebook version)

Magick Matters

"Thought to be the father of modern witchcraft, Gerald Gardner published The Meaning of Witchcraft in 1959, not long after laws punishing witches were repealed.
