Seeing as everyone in here happens to hate everything any author has ever put out ( with good reason on most.) I just want to know what some of your prefered readings on wicca would be? Cause honestly, I've had the same problem with a lot of authors where I feel like I haven't actially learned anything. So any help would be great.
Deborah Lipp tops my list. She's much more modern than a lot of the recommended Wiccan authors - easier for some folks to read and grasp than some of the classics. She is a 3rd degree Gardnerian, so her explanations don't break her oaths - but they also make working sense. I've enjoyed her works thus far, and gave them to my own student.
I do still recommend the classic authors: Doreen Valiente is a great author, the Farrars are good, and it's worth looking up the works of Gardner .
Really...just read critically. Avoid people who revise history to their own liking, or try to make everything part of one big overarching "paganism".
So long as you understand no published book is going to have actual Wicca in it, you're gold.
