“The Golden Legend: Readings on the Saints” by Jacobus de Voragine

"Depicting the lives of the saints in an array of factual and fictional stories, The Golden Legend was perhaps the most widely read book, after the Bible, during the late Middle Ages. It was compiled around 1260 by Jacobus de Voragine, a scholarly friar and later archbishop of Genoa, whose purpose was to captivate, encourage, and edify the faithful, while preserving a vast store of information pertaining to the legends and traditions of the church. In this translation, the first in English of the complete text, William Granger Ryan captures the immediacy of this rich work, which offers an important guide for readers interested in medieval art and literature and, more generally, in popular...>>

“The Scarlet Wand: Sex Magic For Gay Males” by Raji Dorotez

"The Scarlet Wand, originally published in 1993, and revised for the first time in 1998, was well-received and enjoyed a modest success. Copies who have survived the test of time are now being sold for much more than the original $10 it first sold for. But its author, now pushing 70, has increasingly felt it didn't say enough and wasn't the complete legacy he wished to leave behind, so he has revised it for a second time. It has been expanded from its orginal 86 pages to 266. Much more could be said, but the author had to stop somewhere. This book is not a collection of spells, curses, and philtres. It is much more....>>
