d'Este Sorita; Rankine David
Wicca Magickal Beginnings - A Study of the Possible Origins of the Rituals and Practices Found in This Modern Tradition of Pagan Witchcraft and Magick
London: Avalonia 2008. SIGNED and INSCRIBED by Author d'Este. 2d edition is Acceptable w corner creases scuffs.Ow sound unmarked. "In this book the authors explore the possible beginnings of the tradition by examining the practices in the context of magickal and spiritual thought spanning thousands of years. Through setting aside the endless debates about initiatory lineages they look beyond the personalities of the people and instead focus on what they consider to be at the heart of the tradition - the practices. Evidence from many previously uncredited and unconsidered sources is examined. This clearly shows how all the significant component parts of Wiccan ritual and practice have roots reaching back in some instances thousands of years before its public emergence at the hands of Gerald Gardner in 1950's England."--publisher.

WITCHCRAFT. Del Rio Martin Antoine SJ. 1551 1608 S. J.
Disquisitionum Magicarum Libri Sex Quibus Continentur Accurata Curiosarum Artium et vanarum superstitionum confutatio utilis Theologis Jurisconsultis Medicis Philologis. Autore Martino Del-Rio Societ. Iesu Presbyt. LL. Licent. et Theol. Doct. olim in Academia Graetcensi et Salmanticensi publico S. Script. Professore. Prodit Opus ultimis curis longe accuratius ac castigatius. Superiorum Permissu et Licentia.
Cologne: 1679. NINTH EDITION 1st 1599. Quarto:. A nice copy in contemporary vellum over wooden boards with clasps staining to fore-edge of upper board a few stains on rear board front joint just starting. Text with a small wormhole to outer margin never touching the text. A few light marginal spots occasional light browning or foxing but still an unusually nice copy of a book almost always found browned. Engraved title page. The Jesuit jurist MartÃn del Rio’s “Disquisitionum Magicarum Libri Sex†Six Books of Disquisitions on Witches was written about 1596 and first published in 1599. The book had enormous impact and was consulted and cited for over a century. Much in the book is understandably frightening. Vague guidance is given for determining if a person has made a pact with the devil and the methods recommended for extracting confessions from accused sorcerers and witches are horrifying. Even children who are not to be racked are nevertheless to be frightened into confession by being stripped naked chained and led to the rack. “Its six sections discussed the following topics: 1. Magic in general and the distinctions between natural and artificial magic; alchemy. 2. Diabolical magic; witches at the Sabbat; incubus demons; real and false apparitions. 3. Maleficia and how accomplished. How and why God allows men to be tormented by evil spirits. 4. Prophecy divination when heresy when merely superstition ordeals Del Rio is somewhat dubious of the value of the ‘bain des sorciers’ or ‘swimming’. 5. Instructions to judges: indications and proofs of witchcraft follow practices for heresy but judges are allowed some latitude. 6. Function of the confessor; natural coral onyx and supernatural exorcism amulets means to oppose maleficia. “Under a veil of moderation-he permitted legal counsel for witches and he rejected lycanthropy -Del Rio revived the theories and procedures of the ‘Malleus Maleficarum’ with credulity and blind intolerance. For example Del Rio told ‘another quite well-founded story’. ‘In the year 1587 a soldier on guard shot into a dark cloud and lo a woman fell to his feet. Now what do those say who deny that witches ride to meetings They will say that they do not believe it; let them remain incredulous because they will not believe eyewitnesses of whom I could adduce many’. “By 1600 the venom of witch hunters was directed against the witch lovers who questioned the theories and practice of the witch trials. Said Del Rio: ‘Judges are bound under pain of mortal sin to condemn witches to death who have confessed their crimes; anyone who pronounces against the death sentence is reasonably suspected of secret complicity; no one is to urge the judges to desist from the prosecution; nay it is an indicium of witchcraft to defend witches or to affirm that witch stories which are told as certain are mere deceptions or illusionsâ€. Like Bodin Del Rio was acceptable to Protestant witch hunters because of his friendship with Justus Lipsius of Leyden. Consequently he became well known in England.†Robins Encyclopedia of Witchcraft and Demonology p. 121-123 For a discussion of Del Rio’s work and its influence in the age of early scientific inquiry see Waddell “Jesuit Science and the End of Nature’s Secrets†p. 32 ff.

Oxford Clarendon Press. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1985. First Edition. Hardcover. 0198140347 . Dustjacket has very minor shelfwear and rubbing. ; The Catalogue of Women is an Ancient Greek poem. Ancient writers sometimes attributed it to Hesiod although the poem contains a few references to events and things after Hesiod's time that could suggest that they were later added or that the epic is of a completely different author. Since Hesiod is known to us only as the author of the Works and Days and the Theogony which may not have the same date or author the distinction here is unclear. Since the dating of the poem is one of the most problematic issues surrounding it the poem's author remains anonymous. ; 193 pages . Oxford Clarendon Press hardcover

HUMAN SACRIFICE IN ANCIENT GREECE
Routledge. Very Good in Near Fine dust jacket. 1991. Hardcover. 0415034833 . Faint foxing to top of textblock. Scholar's bookplate to inner cover G. P. Goold. Very light shelfwear to DJ. ; Numerous ancient texts describe human sacrifices and other forms of ritual killing: in 480 BC Themistocles sacrifices three Persian captives to Dionysus; human scapegoats called pharmakoi are expelled yearly from Greek cities and according to some authors they are killed; Locrin girls are hunted down and slain by the Trojans; on Mt Lykaion children are sacrificed and consumed by the worshippers; and many other texts report human sacrifices performed regularly in the cult of the gods or during emergencies such as war and plague. Archaeologists have frequently proposed human sacrifice as an explanation for their discoveries: from Minoan Crete children's bones with knife-cut marks the skeleton of a youth lying on a platform with a bronze blade resting on his chest skeletons sometimes bound in the dromoi of Mycenaean and Cypriot chamber tombs; and dual man-woman burials where it is suggested that the woman was slain or took her own life at the man's funeral. If the archaeologists' interpretations and the claims in the ancient sources are accepted they present a bloody and violent picture of the religious life of the ancient Greeks from the Bronze Age well into historical times. But the author expresses caution. In many cases alternative if less sensational explanations of the archaeological are possible; and it can often be shown that human sacrifices in the literary texts are mythical or that late authors confused mythical details with actual practices. Whether the evidence is accepted or not this study offers a fascinating glimpse into the religious thought of the ancient Greeks and into changing modern conceptions of their religious behaviour.; 8.8 X 5.7 X 1.3 inches; 316 pages .

Burkert Walter & John Raffan translator
GREEK RELIGION
Harvard University Press. Very Good. 2000. Softcover. 0674362810 . Faint crease to front wrap. Else very minor shelfwear. ; 512 pages; In this book Walter Burkert the most eminent living historian of ancient Greek religion has produced the standard work for our time on that subject. First published in German in 1977 it has now been translated into English with the assistance of the author himself. A clearly structured and readable survey for students and scholars it will be welcomed as the best modern account of any polytheistic religious system. Burkert draws on archaeological discoveries insights from other disciplines and inscriptions in Linear B to reconstruct the practices and beliefs of the Minoan-Mycenaean age. The major part of his book is devoted to the archaic and classical epochs. He describes the various rituals of sacrifice and libation and explains Greek beliefs about purification. He investigates the inspiration behind the great temples at Olympia Delphi Delos and the Acropolis - discussing the priesthood sanctuary and oracles. Considerable attention is given to the individual gods the position of the heroes and beliefs about the afterlife. The different festivals are used to illuminate the place of religion in the society of the city-state. The mystery cults at Eleusis and among the followers of Bacchus and Orpheus are also set in that context. The book concludes with an assessment of the great classical philosophers' attitudes to religion. Insofar as possible Burkert lets the evidence -- from literature and legend vase paintings and archaeology -- speak for itself; he elucidates the controversies surrounding its interpretation without glossing over the enigmas that remain. Throughout the notes updated for the English-language edition afford a wealth of further references as the text builds up its coherent picture of what is known of the religion of ancient Greece. .
