I know lots of people rave about this book... but my 2nd time through I still think, "Its ok". Sure the spells and charms are cool, but I feel like it needs more.. Like there should have been more stories and lore. But its still interesting

Weird book. By far the most interesting were the beginning and end parts, the middle just consisted of different invocations.

A classic for the Witch's bookshelf. While it's authenticity is under debate, Aradia is an essential neopagan text, and a fascinating read. What I found most interesting about this text is the repeated theme of threatening the god or spirit one is petitioning if they don't grant one's request. Recommended reading for anyone interested in traditional witchcraft or the history of the neopagan movement.

It's a classic, I get it, but feels v Christianized.

Interesting and short examination of Italian witchcraft. I found several of the incantations rather beautiful and some of the mythological interpretations fascinating. I wouldn't say this is a must read, but if one has an interest in the historical preservation of Italian magic and incantations this is a fast and informative read. 3 stars.

A weird read from a modern perspective, but it's kind of a fascinating historical artifact. Made for a really fun discussion.

Wow... this is very interesting, but sooo dark. Like, holy sh*t. Diana was not that evil.
