"The Devil, His Origin, Greatness, and Decadence" is a wonderfully well written mid 19th century tract of rationalism. Originally by Reville, this edition is translated into English, and originally contained notes which have been mostly omitted to retain the original intent of the document. It documents the history of Satan from his humble disembodied origins to his medieval physical form and his eventual fall during the enlightenment, as well as the burning times, inquisition, and various pogroms of the era. It is one of the better works detailing the life and times of Satan himself.

"Magic Plants" is an interesting historical look (written in 1700 no less) at past ages and the usage of herbs within a spiritual context.

It is a dense, if biased work, which generally rebuffs the concept of incantation as relevant, and relegates what is claimed to be relevant generally to the demonic, setting aside only biblical accounts of the use of incantation and praising them as the work of the...

Magnus Jensen's "Everybody's Astrology" is a sure sign of its era of manufacture; one part astrological apologism, one part distrust of the rise of non-traditional (especially psychological) science, and one part utopian admonition to engage in the study of the stars and planets, this booklet is a decent primer to the basic tenets of astrology. It additionally lends itself to use by those interested in studying more about the topic from the occult perspective, listing a half dozen other related works some of which are explicitly applauded for their rigor.
