I already have 'The idiots guild to Wicca and Witchcraft', but I need more books ABOUT witchcraft, not a spellbook.

There's a book called "Wicca A guide for the solitairy practioner" by Scott Cunningham. Although I haven't exactly read it, flipping through it, it seems to have a lot of information. Maybe I'll start reading it.

There's also "21 Lessons of Merlyn." Which is actually more about Druidism and the story of King Arthur, but Wicca is base off of druidism anyway. It's a good read.

I'm inclined to disagree with that. I've yet to see any real merit to her works. But that's just me.

If it's spells you're looking for, I'd recommend:

Hocus Pocus : Titania's Book of Spells, Titania Hardie

For a look at the various types, I'd recommend:

The Power of Magic, Derek and Julia Parker

I really wish I had any good titles to suggust, but most of the time I'm too broke to afford books, so I'll spend a few hours at the bookstore reading and memorizing stuff. sweatdrop

I do own a few astrology books, and tommrrow I'll post the title and authour of my favorite astrology book. 3nodding

I deffinately recommend any book by Scott Cunningham. He provides a good solid foundation without any of the bias crap that some authors put into their books. With his words under your belt, you'll pretty much be able to discern the quality from the crap. Always keep in mind though, that these books are tools and guides merely, you have to make up your own mind about things, just like everyone else does. Go where you're comfortable with things. 3nodding

How I do it is I just go to the bookshelf and I get whatever catches my eye.

Well, I have a book called The Enchanted Cat by Ellen Dugan that's really good. It has a few spells inside along with information on things.

just for fun reading stuff, i've read books by Cate Tiernan. they aren't textbook-y things, but they have interesting information. i might not actually try to use it, but i thought it was cool.

I like Scott Cunningham too. There are others, I haven't looked at my book collection in a while. I'll see what I have...

My favorite crystal book is 'The Crystal Bible'.

The Golden Dawn has great info, but it's a little like reading an instruction/tech manual. lol. Very long and complicated for some. I do have "Initiation into Hermetics" by Franz Bardon, which is much easier to follow.

The Inner Temple of Witchcraft and The Outer Temple of Witchcraft by Christopher Penczak are very helpful in understanding magick. There are also meditation cd's by the same name.

Might be off-topic, but there are classes offered online too. My favorite has been www.witchschool.com because of the variety and quality of classes offered. They used to be really cheap and some classes free. However, I'm not sure anymore. I bought a life-time membership a couple of years ago, so I can take any class I want to.

I also enjoy 365 Goddess by Patricia Telesco. It is just really kewl to be able to look up a different goddess for each day and have ways to honor her.

Well, that's what I've got for now. If I think of any others that I really like, I'll post again. biggrin

Yes. Most bookstores will have them alongside the occult and new age books. The Barnes and Nobel that I usually go to has a whole wall of such books. 3nodding
