Books

There are thousands of Wicca books out there. Hundreds on any topic you can think of. I'm not going to spout all about my own personal collection. That's what I'll do when I make my own YouTube channel. :D 

There are many topics to delve into:
  • Divination books
  • History of Wicca
  • Traditions of Wicca
  • Herb books
  • Oils and incense books
  • Recipe books
  • Books full of spells and incantations
  • Book of Shadows
  • Candle books
  • Magick books, forbidden and not
  • Craft books
  • Decoration books
  • Books on Astrology
  • How to books
And so many more topics I haven't even broken into yet.

When starting out, I'd suggest getting 1 book. An intro to Wicca book. Simple, to the point, all about the basics. Then once you've officially decided, check some books out from the library on a range of topics. When you figure out what you're drawn to, or interested in, look for the best books you can find, or the top rated, or whatever you feel like you need. Sometimes when you buy things just because you want it, you strike out big time. Other times, you hit the ball out of the park.

I normally do a ton of research. I look up every book I can find on a subject and figure out the highest rated, or most informative, and get that one, or ones. Sometimes when I go to the store to get a certain book, I get the feeling, or pull, to buy a completely different one. If that happens, I go with it. Always. I suggest you do the same. If you get a pull towards something, that means it wants to be yours, or it is yours. 

There are some good authors and some bad ones. I'm not going to tell you who you have to read, and who you shouldn't-but a few of the highest rated authors, or the most published, I'm including.
  • Edain MCoy
  • Scott Cunningham
  • Raymond Buckland
  • Judy Hall
  • Lesley Bremness
  • Gerald Gardner
  • Silver Ravenwolf
I'm not saying I read them, or I don't. I'm not saying I personally recommend them, or I don't recommend them. They're just the highest rated overall.
