Is it now considered rude to call somebody out of the blue?

How do you decide whether to text or call?

A 400-year-old English translation of Agrippa's Three Books of Occult Philosophy is on display to the public for the first time as part of the State Library and Archives exhibition All the Fires Come Alive.

Jane Stewart from the State Library and Thea Connell from the State Archives explain to Breakfast's Ryk Goddard that Agrippa was a believer in magic and a defender of the role of witches as healers in the community.

On display at the State Library and Archives of Tasmania is a wealth of occult artefacts from colonial days, including a 400-year-old book containing healing spells, cures and mysticism bequeathed by the Allport family.
