What are some good books?

Hi yall! I just bought Scott Cunnigham's book Wicca; A guide for the solitary practitioner. Just was wondering if there were any other books yall would recommend a beginner?

for Wicca? there's some good books by Raymond Buckland that could be of use [Bucklands Complete book of Witchcraft, and Wicca for Life]

If you dont want a bokk that focuses on deity try Grimoire for the Apprentice wizard by Oberon Zell
Mastering Witchcraft by Paul Huson
Natural Magick Pamella Ball
Good luck.

Wicca for Beginners by Thea Sabin

If you're looking for books specifically on Wicca then the titles suggested by Hedgewitch don't apply. It's not that they aren't reasonably good books, but they aren't books about Wicca.
I would second the recommendation for Thea Sabin's book, Wicca. Or you might try Wicca: a Year and a Day by Timothy Roderick.

^^^Wicca: a year and a day, is an awesome book! Definitely a must read

- Drawing Down the Moon by Margot Adler
- The Circle Within: Creating a Wiccan Spiritual Tradition by Dianne Sylvan
- Wicca For One: The Path Of Solitary Witchcraft by Raymond Buckland
- Solitary Wicca For Life: Complete Guide to Mastering the Craft on Your Own by Arin Murphy-Hiscock
- 21st Century Wicca: A Young Witch's Guide to Living the Magical Life by Jennifer Hunter (One of my favorite books)
- When, Why ... If by Robin Wood

Oh no, not Silver Ravenwolf. Frankly her books are full of poor information and just plain fluff. In addition, she has repeatedly misled others about her own initiatory lineage. I would not personally ever recommend any of her books. There is an excellent article about why she is not respected by the Wiccan community at http://wicca.cnbeyer.com/continuing-anger-over-silver-ravenwolf/

(Sorry for the late response) I learnt about Wicca from Soraya Book of Spells. There's not much information about the belief itself, however it does have many basics and many good spells. I found it a very good way to start my tudies.
