Couple of Book Titles, Looking For Opinions

[pt_tangles]

I may end up cross posting this later, but for now, I want the opinions of my Flist. I was browsing Amazon today (I am getting ready for an order ... have to sort out some issues with my account first), and I came across a 'List' called 'Books for Hedgewitches'. It looked interesting (I recognized a lot of the books on it as good ones), but there were also a few books that I didnt' recall hearing of before, and I wanted to know if any of you folks had read them (and what you thought).

Plants of the Gods: Their Sacred, Healing, and Hallucinogenic Powers by Richard Evans Schultes, Albert Hofmann and Christian Rā Tsch

Ecstasies: Deciphering the Witches' Sabbath by Carlo Ginzburg

Cunning Folk And Familiar Spirits: Shamanistic Visionary Traditions In Early Modern British Witchcraft And Magic by Emma Wilby

Thoughts?

Cunning Folk And Familiar Spirits: Shamanistic Visionary Traditions In Early Modern British Witchcraft And Magic by Emma Wilby While I'v enot read this one, I've gotten very high recommendations about reading this one.

Never read any of them, but I think Carlo Ginzburg is the one who wrote quite a bit about the Benadanti (sp?) in Italy, if you're familiar with that. So he's been around a long time.
