Book References

by LucasApollo

Summary:

A list of works I've been reading and referencing for my series

Notes:

No one asked for this lmao.

But I wanted to show the reading and research I've been doing for specifically the magical, political, and economic worldbuilding and the historical paralleling in this series. Some may or may not eventually be relevant to the story.

It has helped me deepen my magical practice and separate modern pagan/witchcraft misinformation from actual historical knowledge, which has been really neat.

This is just the books and most interesting websites; if I added every website reference, this list would be four or five times longer. The list of books I would like to read as well is several times longer still, but I'll be adding them to the list as I read them.

Notes:

This is in Harvard Style, but it doesn't look much different than when I used APA back in school lol

Have you read any of these books? Do you have any other books you would recommend reading? The next author I'm going to read is Cicero, I think.
