2.5/5⭐ The Italian history & stories are interesting. Unfortunately, Grimassi uses almost no archaeological/scholarly evidence, mashes together witchcraft (a practice) & Wicca (a religion), & his thesis seeks to refute a claim I've never heard (that witchcraft started Wicca). The book also repeats sections in different chapters. His passion for his Italian heritage shines, but his scholarship lacks authority. #bookspinbingo #bookspin (March)
