Before there was Cunningham and Drawing Down the Moon, there were books on witchcraft and magick. Some of these were pretty good and still worth reading, others, not so much. Our panelists will discuss and recommend (or issue cautionary remarks) about books by authors like Helena Blavatsky _Isis Unveiled_ (1877), James George Frazer _The Golden Bough_ (1890), Charles Leland _Aradia_ (1899, Margaret Murray _Witchcult in Western Europe_ (1921), Manly P. Hall _Secret Teachings of All Ages_ (1928), Robert Graves _The White Goddess_ (1948), Max Freedom Long _Secret Science Behind Miracles_ 1948, and others like Edgar Cayce, Charles Fort, Éliphas Lévi, Emanuel Swedenborg, Rudolf Steiner, Aleister Crowley, & early magickal lodges, many of which informed early practitioners. Which of these old books should be read by people coming into the community.
