Summary: History, philosophy, and occult studies blend together
Review: A Razor For A Goat: A Discussion Of Certain Problems In The History Of Witchcraft And Diabolism by Elliot Rose examines witchcraft in western European culture from the ninth to the eighteenth centuries. History, philosophy, and occult studies blend together in this marvelously detailed and scholarly analysis that descriptively presents critical events with a flash of wry humor. Questions as to whether some forms of witchcraft should be classified as surviving pagan cults, or linked to aspects of heretical Christen sects or beliefs are especially thought provoking. A Razor For A Goat is a welcome and enthusiastically recommended contribution to World History and Occult Studies academic library collections and scholarly reading lists.
