Interesting source
I find the idea of rating an historical publication like Alexandr Roberts' A Treatise of Witchcraft difficult, so I have opted not to do so.However, the content itself is very interesting.In his 1620 writing Roberts moves through a series of topics related to witchcraft: he begins by insisting that witches are real (and references historical sources like The Odyssey and the Bible as support), and then outlines exactly why witchcraft is to be abhorred by the Christian community.Roberts speaks of the spiritual salvation of witches (which would ideally come just before their execution), defends the sentencing of witches, and details a specific example of witchcraft that occasioned the writing of his Treatise.The discussion of the contemporary case was intriguing, but I found Roberts' focus on gender roles particularly interesting.Throughout the text he assures his readers that not all witches are women, but he then goes on to explain why women are more susceptible to the Devil, and why the majority of magic practitioners are therefore women.As you can imagine, Roberts references everything from Eve to physical differences to an inclination towards the passionate as reasons why women are more likely to fall into Satan's grasp.

While the ideas presented would be familiar to anyone with even a passing knowledge of witchcraft trials, Roberts' treatise makes for a clear and forward primary source for the discussion of the occult. ... Read more

Product Description
The Knights Templar is a secret society that has existed for many centuries. Few books have been written about them from an insiders point of view. This book was originally released by the Grand Encampment of Knights Templar, United States of America, after seven years of historical research by an assigned committee. The author, Brown, was a member of that committee and their purpose was to provide Templars with an accurate history of their organization. It was for members only and much of the information is not found elsewhere. We've also added, from another source, their Constitution and Abbreviated By-Laws as a service for potential members or for those who desire a better knowledge of the inner workings of the Templars. These two works, combined together, will hopefully shed new light on an interesting and sometimes mysterious organization. ... Read more

Okay
I learned a little from the book, but not much.Many of the stories in here are dated, too.Some of the "happy couples" they mention have split-up, and several people have passed-on.
I wasn't aware this book existed until recently, and that is strange, considering I am a die-hard traditional country music fan.

However, sometimes it was annoying to read about Lorianne's talking about herself.She tried to appear "modest" but was forever going on about compliments people bestowed upon her regarding her looks.This isn't a book about her "beauty"--it's supposed to reveal insights about country music performers.Charlie Chase came across as a much nicer person than Lorianne did.

This book was so-so.I learned a few things I didn't know before, but for the most part, it was re-hashing facts I was already aware of. ... Read more
