What are some texts related to "witchcraft theory" that you like?

This and other collections edited by Brian P. Levack are good. Stuart Clark's "Inversion, Misrule and the Meaning of Witchcraft" and larger book Thinking With Demons are also good. The latter also interprets witchcraft theory and demonology through a Foucaultian lens. The cultural anthropologist Willem de Blécourt's work is also good.

Also definitely read Arno Borst's "The Origin of the Witch-Craze in the Alps" in Witchcraft in Continental Europe

Witchcraft, Oracles, and Magic Among the Azande by Evans-Pritchard is pretty good albeit old.

>interprets witchcraft theory and demonology through a Foucaultian lens
This sounds good. I better check it out.

Damn I wish this site was more active.

I liked this book on jinns in India. Not sure if it falls under witchraft but its an interesting read if your interested in esoteric stuff. There is a short version here

Liber Null and Psychonaut, a modern approach to magick. Basically THE manual for chaos magick, which teaches a non dogmatic results oriented school of thought.
