*Please note: The Meaning of Witchcraft and Viridarium Umbris: The Pleasure Garden of Shadows linked below are PDFs.  We do not recommend the most recent republishing of The Meaning of Witchcraft by Weiser as it includes a forward written by a non-initiate and contains a significant amount of misleading information. Viridarium Umbris: The Pleasure Garden of Shadows and Hostile Witnesses: Rescuing the History of Witchcraft from the Writing of Scholars and Churchmen are out of print and difficult to find.
