What reading level is The Philosophy of Witchcraft book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This disposition in the Jews to idol worship strengthened their belief in the prophetic powers of their divining women, and partly accounts for the act of Saul, after despairing of obtaining information, through the medium of the prophets, respecting his ap- proaching fate.
As we have already remarked, the Pythoness or witch of the Hebrews, was believed to have the power of hold- ing intercourse with the dead, through the medium of her familiar spirit. That any human being should have the power... of raising the dead, or of entering into conversation with them, either personally, or by means of a familiar spirit, seems at once so absurd, as not to be for a moment admitted. If nothing short of a diseased state of mental feeling, could admit the palpable absurdity of departed spirits revisiting or interfering with the concerns of the life from whence they have been removed ; how much more must decided symptoms of insanity be admitted to exist in the individual who can believe that the mummery of spells and enchantments may set aside the immutable laws of death and dissolution, and again encase the dis- embodied spirit in the likeness of corporeal form, when that form has long since yielded to the destroying and re- producing laws of nature.
