What reading level is Gypsy Sorcery And Fortune Telling: Illustrated By Numerous Incantations ... book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

The egg, as a cosmogenic symbol, and indicating the origin of all things, finds a place in the mythologies of many races. These are indicated with much erudition by Friedrich, " Symbolik der Natur," p. 686.
In Lower Alsatia it is believed that if a man will take an Easter egg into the church and look about him, if there be any witches in the congregation he may know them by their having in their hands pieces of pork instead of prayer-books, and milk-pails on their heads for bonnets (Wolf, " Deu...tsche Mahrchen und Sagen," p, 270). There is also an ancient belief that an egg built into a new building will protect it against evil and witchcraft. Such eggs were found in old houses in Altenhagen and Iserlohen, while in the East there is a proverb, " the egg of the chamber " (" Hamasa " of Abu Temman, v. RCckert, Stuttgart, 1846), which seems to point to the same practice.
The Romans expressed a disaster by saying, " Ovum ruptum est " ("The egg is smashed"). Among other egg-proverbs I find the following: — His eggs are all omelettes {French) ; i.e., broken up.
