I read it without any context for its turn-of-the-eighteenth century information, and it blew me away with its strange correspondences, wild numerology, archaic astrology, and twisted suggestions for ritual and spellcraft.Īs a student of Wicca, I looked for links between Barrett's writings and current Wiccan practice, and I do feel there are plenty. ![]() This might be the most bizarre and random book I have ever read. ![]()
