Hello Rose, Do you know any good Witchcraft books that a beginner can
start out with? I already have Scott Cunningham’s a guide for the solitary practitioner. I’ve
searched all over the internet for a good one but, have yet to find one. Please write me back
whenever you have the time. Kevin
Hello there my dear,
What are the best books concerning the Wiccan religion? Well, that is quite a subjective question
to say the least. This is partially because it is a matter of personal taste and partially because
what might be best for one person might not be best for another. For example, someone just starting
out in the practice might require a volume written to one level of comprehension, whereas for a
polished practitioner, the same book may seem a bit simple and repetitive given what they may
already know and thus be bringing to the table.
For the most part though, the people who are asking after what the best books are tend to be those
that are relatively new to the faith and thus are still looking to find their footing and who are
making sure that Wicca is a proper fit for them – both spiritually and intellectually.
So, for the most part I would recommend the books of Silver RavenWolf. She is published by
Llewellyn and her books are generally written in a very friendly, accessible manner that serves to
explain the various facets of the religion in very digestible terms and concepts.
This is not to say that her works are not well thought out or informative either… just that they
are written in such a way that most beginners can easily engage with the material.
I would very strongly suggest, “To Ride a Silver Broomstick” to anyone who is looking to find out
more about what it means to really be a witch….
