So, boosts would be nice:

Do you know how you would start researching a weird topic? —

What I want to look into is the relevant history of the occult/magical in the territory that’s modern Italy, and their intersection with pagan/non-Christian religious practices, including folklore, over time (as relevant, but I’m interested how they shifted after Catholicism and into modern times).

@millenomi It's a boringly obvious response, but: I'd ask a friendly librarian. They probably won't know any relevant texts offhand, but I'd be surprised if they couldn't give some solid pointers.

How do you find libraries with good librarians?
