Yes | No“written by a learned occultist Charles Leland back in 1889, includes a lot of translation from old Italian. lots of interesting folklore and stories. eventually influenced modern wiccan & neopaganism to some extent. this is probably available to anyone online via project gutenburg, for free. ”
