Books

I would have to disagree on the "Nocturnal Witchcraft" recommendation. That book is merely an attempt to dress up Witchcraft in a way to appeal to the Goth culture. There are many better books out there than that.

The first book I always recommend is What is Occultism by Dion Fortune. Then, for the wiccan path Spells and How They Work by Janet and Stewart Farrar. Wicca: A Year and a Day by Tim Roderick would be next. Even if you are not interested in ceremonial magic or qabalah, Modern Magick by Don Kraig has some excellent information on becoming acquainted with the elements, practical magical work and the like. Just my suggestions for starting off.

Thank you everyone!

and here is the folder of books in it's entirety, the link can also be found on my profile.

The best book i could think of is Wicca a guidefor the solitary practitioner by Scott Cunningham. I have that book and it is very good! It's even got the writers book of Shadows!

Scot's book isn't bad; however, he says one thing that is incorrect over and over again. He is the one who started the misconception that " Wicca is anything you want it to be ." That just plain isn't true. Wicca has some very specific beliefs and practices and if you don't perform those then what you are doing may be a fine spiritual path for you, but it isn't Wicca.

On the other hand his books on herbalism, kitchen magic, and working with crystals are a good foundation for practice.

Anything by Tylluan Penry is quite good, I learned much from her and her youtube series

Hadn't heard her name before. Some of her books do look interesting even if not about Wicca.
