A Popular History of Witchcraft by Montague Summers, published in 1937, is a comprehensive guide to the practices and history of witchcraft, particularly in western Europe.

Wise as serpents & gentle as dove! Love Fr. Montague Summers, thanks for the book recommendation, I didn’t know there was an in print version of his work available. Happy up coming Triduuem of The Dead!🕯 The tradition in my old hometown is so beautiful, including a procession to the cemetery & the lighting of candles for each grave, with prayers said for the dead. Unfortunately there will be no procession this year due to the v!rus situation, it is sure a sight to behold. Edit: How horrific & sad, the situation in Louisiana! I pray the parish can somehow recover.🙏
I would be careful with Summers. His orders are doubtful on validity and if it’s licit or not. He was also involved in early organizations about the “summer of love” sexual movements. He is a lot like those false Catholics more interested in aesthetics than the faith and I’m unsure if he was genuine or it was one big LARP(basically guy playing fantasy) I could be false, I would like to be. But there’s a lot of talk on what I said.
