Magic and Witchcraft in the Dark Ages

...looks at explanations of the black arts as they existed during early medieval centuries in Western Europe.

Here you'll find Mysteries previously reserved for initiates and unavailable to others. . . . a ground-breaking work of modern religious scholarship that explores the origins and development of the various Mystery Traditions. Raven Grimassi is the Editor of Raven's Call magazine, a journal dedicated to the preservation of pre-Christian European religion. Trained in the Family Tradition of Old Italy, he is also an initiate of the Pictish-Gaelic Tradition, Gardnerian Wicca, and Britonic Witchcraft. Raven has been involved as both a student and teacher of the Old Religion for the past twenty-five years.

To think that this was the textbook for the Inquisition, and was written because of a papal bull, makes it all the more heinous."
