The Italian history and stories are interesting. Unfortunately, Grimassi uses almost no archaeological/scholarly evidence, mashes together witchcraft (a practice) & Wicca (a religion), and his thesis seeks to refute a claim I've never heard (that witchcraft started only with Wicca). The book also repeats sections word for word in different chapters. His passion for his Italian heritage shines, but his scholarship lacks authority. ( )

This book is awful.

I'm willing to give the author the benefit of the doubt. I'm willing to believe that he just doesn't see the logical fallacies he's presenting as facts, and that he just doesn't actually know how to do good historical research, nor how to compile good research into a sensible book.

Frankly, the pseudoacademic nonsense in this book would get a high-school student in trouble.

Raven clearly wants to prove that his 'tradition' of Italian Witchcraft is an unbroken line back to ancient times. But the historical research he cites doesn't support the idea, for all that he insists it does. I'd have had more respect for him citing channeled knowledge, then torturing the historical record into giving false support.

I tried to read this, more than once. I tried. I hoped that, among the chaff, there might be some information worth having. I can't find it by about 1/2 way through the book. I give up. I can find much better ways to use my time. ( )
