"Witches' Potions and Spells"
Kathryn Paulsen
Language: English.
Contains 33 pages of the book Witches' Potions and Spells by Kathryn Paulsen in PDF format.
"For centuries witches have brewed potions and cast spells to work their magic: enchanting lovers, curing disease, harming enemies, even becoming invisible and flying. Here is a wide selection of their recipes drawn from the lore of witches throughout the world.
Only experienced witches should attempt to perform any of these enchantments. Even the most innocent-sounding potion could be very dangerous to a beginner in magic! And if the spell is not worked correctly in every detail, it is sure to backfire! So pseudo-witches, please beware!"

"Mastering Witchcraft"
Paul Hudson
Language: English.
Contains 185 pages of the book Mastering Witchcraft by Paul Huson in PDF format.
"Among those who understand the darkness which is no darkness to them anymore are those that tread the way of witchcraft. They of their own accord have walked beyond the ring of firelight and learned the paths in the wilderness beyond.
Now that Aquarius is upon us, the gates have swung back revealing as never before the secret workings of those who practise the Black Arts. No more are we constrained by common law to hide our doings; the stake and the noose are things of the past, and we may once more choose our own gods, bright or dark. The day of the pale Galilean is passing, and the restrictions imposed by his devotees are losing their thrall upon the public mind, leaving people free once more to return to the old teachings of joy and knowledge of arts once forbidden."

Contains the novel The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde in 276 pages, including an introduction by Anthony Burgess. Cover different than pictured.
"On its publication in 1891, The Picture of Dorian Gray was widely condemned for its immorality as, of course, was its author. Oscar Wilde, as the preface to this work relates, was an aesthete no a moralist. And yet, The Picture of Dorian Gray, Wilde's only novel, would seem to be a highly moral tale, depicting the spiritual and physical decay of a young man wholly devoted to aestheticism."
