| "Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore..." -- Edgar Allen Poe, The Raven |

Pause your cursor over each book to the right to see its title. Then click it to see the full text in a new window. I am often asked about the "many quaint and curious volumes of forgotten lore" I have used as resources for crafting my various articles. It is with great pleasure that I have assembled the small full-text reference library you see to the right. Rest assured I own a hard copy of each of these classic texts and have read or consulted them many times. But you need not run out and purchase a copy yourself. You have only to click on a book on the shelves to the right to see the entire text! How is this possible? Each of these classic books is in the public domain, either because the authors have permitted it, or because they are old enough to be beyond copyright restrictions. There are great riches here, from primary sources of the modern Witchcraft revival, to the pioneering work of the 19th century folklorists. Enough to keep you reading a long while. And I reserve the right to occasionally take a book off the shelf and replace it with another, as E-texts become available. Enjoy! |
