Cloth Wicca
Fellow Wiccans and Pagans, what books concerning your religion display a bad grasp of history?
Hello all:
Fellow Wiccans and Pagans, what books concerning your religion display a bad grasp of history?
I'm just rereading "The Great Cosmic Mother: rediscovering the religion of the Earth" by Monica Sjöö and Barbara Mor, which proposes to be a general overview of "ancient matriarchies", and I'm struck all over again by the rampant wackiness of it all AND the appalling grasp of history it displays. I consider myself a feminist, and find that particular book to be interesting primarily as a portrait of the obsession some feminists have with TEH EBIL PATRIARCHY, to the point where they make up history whole-cloth to support their theories.
I've certainly seen other books concerning Wicca that have a horrible grasp of history in general. What books have you read that made you go, ":-P, well, I'll never recommend THAT one..."?
Thanks to everyone who takes the time to respond.
"TEH EBIL PATRIARCHY" lmao, that's hilarious. 
Well, I'd have to say Ravenwolf's "Solitary Witch: The Ultimate Book of Shadows for the New Generation" and Grimassi's "Italian Witchcraft: The Old Religion of Southern Europe" (I feel like I always mention this book whenever a question like this is asked 
) for sure. I've heard Edain McCoy is really bad history-wise, I have one of her books ("Sabbats") and knowing how bad her history has been before, I take everything she says with a very large grain of salt.
