Book recommendations please?

[MidnightSun]

Greetings.

I am 14 and I would love to learn about Wicca. I was hoping that I could get some good book recommendations on this subject. It would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

You have to read Scott Cunningham's A Guide to the Solitary Practitioner.
All of his books are great.
To Ride a Silver Broomstick is good also, but I can't remember who it's from.

It's kinda ironic, but I just started a website for people like you. I know so much about Wicca, I really want to share my knowledge with the world.
So if you're interested you can check out my website, I'd be glad to teach you everything I know about The Craft.

I agree about Scott Cunningham's books are a good one to read(any and all of his books).
And 'To ride a Silver Broomstick' is from Silver RavenWolf. Personally I say stay away from her, it seem she leave out certain thing. Which seem way when little teen girl read her they start running around using magic and love spell :areyoucra:no:

I agree Cunningham is a good start.

Starhawk's The Spiral Dance was very influential, and if you're interested in Dianic at all, I cannot recommend Budapest's The Grandmother Of Time highly enough.

Buckland's Guide is good, I highly recommend Scott Cunningham as well.

I don't recommend Silver Ravenwolf however, I've heard it more than once that those who learn Wicca from her have to completely relearn the religion if/when they want to join a coven. On the flip side, I think it's a good idea to read everything you can, and decide for yourself if you like or not

Ronald Hutton's The Triumph of the Moon is a must read on the history of wicca.

Ronald Hutton's The Triumph of the Moon is a must read on the history of wicca.

As is Margot Adler's Drawing Down the Moon.

I'm new to Wicca as well and found Wicca for Beginners by Thea Sabin extreamlly helpful.

Anything by Raymond Buckland is good. I personally learned from Wicca for One - The Path of Solitary Witchcraft by Raymond Buckland and Bucklands Complete Book Of Witchcraft by Raymond Buckland.

The first book is amazing. It's the Buckland equivalent to Scott Cunningham's Wicca, and it is a very good book. Despite minor changes, the rituals detailed within the book are the ones I use.
