Fabulous magick books

Post by wiccachicken »

I tend not to buy many magick books as I like coming up with my own ideas but there are a few that I have read that have been very useful and influential....such as:

The Book of Wicca, Lucy Summers
The Power of Spellcraft, Arin Murphy Hiscock
and several Scott Cunningham books...

I especially love the Power of Spellcraft...it encourages to be your own person and do things your own way!

Anyone like to add some fantastic books that they've read???

Blessed be

many people said that Christopher Penczak's books are a good read, it focuses more about the practice.

Simple Wicca by Michele Morgan and The Real Witches Year by Kate West have both helped me out a ton. I also like anything by Silver Ravenwolf.

I have always found Cunninngham's Giude for the solitary practioner, and father guide for the solitary practitioner to be very useful.

They are really great books. And I own the first one, The Inner Temple of Witchcraft, and I love it. It gives such great advice and great insight. If you ever get a chance to read them, I think you should.

Also, Raymond Buckland writes really well. His book on Solitary Wicca really introduced me to the concept of practicing alone.

I would reccomend anything by Scott Cunningham, he is simply amazing and doesn't dance around things, he goes straight to the point.

"Spiral Dance" by Starhawk was reccomended to me by a witch who's been one her whole life, I have yet to read it but if she reccomended it, it's most likely really good. She also reccomended "Magcial Rites from the Crystal Well" by Ed Fitch. Again I have not read it yet, but will soon.

Blessed Be,

Oh yes, Scott Cunningham is absolutely one of the best. I love his books.

To Ride a Silver Broomstick by Silver Ravenwolf also helped me a lot.

One of my favorite books of all time is Robin Wood's "When, Why, ...If"
It's a book on Wiccan Ethics. It is flexible enough that even if you don't want to be wiccan or don't even like the law of three, you should *still* read the book. It's basically a workbook on finding your *own* ethics and morality.

IMNSHO, it should be on everyone's bookshelf.
