Kali: The Feminine Force
AuthorAjit Mookerjee

If you know absolutely nothing about female deities in Hinduism, this might be useful to read.

European Witch Trials: Their Foundations In Popular And Learned Culture, 1300 1500
AuthorRichard Kieckhefer
ISBN0520029674
I really thought Kieckhefer's methodology was questionable, and his intense desire to classify the types of witchcraft and types of sources into clean categories was just plain troubling. I think retrospective distinctions like that are potentially useful tools for modern conceptualizations,...
