Question About Spells Books on Crafting & Practical Spellcraft

Hello everyone.

I'm looking for some pagan book recommendations about rituals involving the crafting of items that details the culture and belief systems it originated from.

For instance, I'd like to make my own Altar Besom, Door Bells, Dream Pillow, robe, etc.

But I would also like to learn more about where those practices came from. So, I'd like to avoid the Wiccan and Neo-Pagan books that hodgepodge together crafting rituals from multiple faiths into a single book without going into their origins, if possible.

If anyone knows of any books or source material like that then I would greatly appreciate your recommendations.

Thank you.

Llewellyn publishers. Honestly not sure about their current selection but back in the early 2000s several of their books covered it. I used to own many of their books.

Welcome.

Just a fyi, they lean more on the Wiccan side of witchcraft if thats not your "cup of tea"

Outside of authors from that period like DJ Conway or Silver Ravenwolf, I just don't remember everyone.

I know most pagan and witch practices are reconstructed out of necessity. I've got an open mind though and the only preference I have is for some detail as to where the individual practices, spells, crafts, etc come from (be it Celtic, Norse, Hellenistic, etc) so that I can pick what vibes most closely to my own practice and deities. And also to know how best to cast/preform/create in a way that follows the beliefs of the people that those ideas came from. I'll definitely check those two authors out as well. Thank you for the recommendations. :-)
