Recent Additions to the Library

We've been busy cataloging and shelving a lot of new donations to the MPRC library. Here are three of the recent highlights. We'll be letting you know of others in the coming weeks.

Ritual Magic by E.M. Butler
First published in 1949 by Cambridge University Press, this book explores ritual magic from the pre-Christian era right up to the turn of the last century, including the careers of some notable magicians. It is well referenced and quotes extensive from original documents.

Italian Witchcraft by Raven Grimassi
Written by a long-time and well-known teacher and practitioner of the Craft, Italian Witchcraft explores the roots of Italian Pagan traditionand how it survives today. It includes rites, rituals, correspondences and spells. Some of the historical information is footnoted and there is bibliography.

Principles of Druidry by Emma Restall Orr
This is a nice quick introduction to a spiritual path that more and more people are exploring. In it Emma Restall Orr, who is Joint Chief of the British Druid Order, gives a little bit of histroy and lays the foundation of how Druidry is practiced today.

If you'd like to take a look at these books, or any others in the library, they are available for onsite consulation whenever the MPRC is open.
