Black Aliss listed all the ones I could think of, with the exception that all of Aleister Crowleys books would be considered antiques by now. Good luck finding a first addition though. All the OTO members snagged up those ones!

You're probably going to have trouble finding anything pre-Gardner, because stuff on witchcraft was rarely--if ever--published, and most witches kept their own books and didn't share them, besides possibly with a few other witches and/or any children they might be passing the books on to.

Why does it have to be antique? I doubt you would find any. Witches keep most of their spells safely locked away in their Book of Shadows. Anyway, you should write your own spells. They are more powerful if they come from YOUR heart not somebody elses!

They are right, my son, you'll be very lucky if you can find any pre-Gardnerian books and those you DO NOT want to mess with. Leave them alone. Don't play with magic (no, I choose not to spell it with a k) unless you know what you're doing. Magic is all intent -- what you really put into it. Be very careful. Blessings, my child.

Given the fact that witch's lean toward not revealing what they are, why do you think anyone would know?
