this isa good video i have ordered 10 books from your list and hopefully they will be useful to me as i am fairlly new to wicca for about a 6 months and need more information thanks for the help :) !!!!
HI, I like your vids! Im trying to find fun novels that feature paganism,magick,wicca or faeries, do you or other youtubers know of any light reading/fiction please? Thank you :)
@exotikk1 The Sweep series by Cate Tiernan is pretty good. So is the Circle of Three series by Isobel Bird. And Wings is a fiction book about faeries by Aprilynne Pike. She also has a sequil called Spells.

Personally, I follow the I AM religion, which states that every creature, man, beast, alien, etc... is part of God.
But I have done some reading on the Craft during my searching years. I've found Basil E Crouch to be powerful and moving, though some of his stuff has a dark side to it that probably should be avoided.
If you haven't heard of it, some of his material shows neat flower potions, love rituals, etc... really cool stuff.
Wicca: A guide, the first book shown is Fantastic for the beginner. Scott Cunningham really has a crystal clear writing style that makes it so easy to understand and grasp. Earth, Air, Fire, and Water is a great one too by him
@Slkilby Dont be so cocky, you have your religion, we have ours, you have a problem with that? then go back to your church and pray to your god, pray for forgivness, because belive me, i bet you arent the little angel that you want people to think, stop hiding behind the shadow of your religion and get a backbone, Many thanks, Non christian.
@Slkilby my grandpa was from rural GA and past in 1978, he did witchcraft. stuff w chicken feet, magic dust, built his own coffin. what is some stuff he might have studied at the time? thanks
@Slkilby we're not pushing our religion down your throat so why are you? this is something i don't understand about christians on youtube - why do they go through wiccan videos when they dislike them so much?
You are one of the few that read the complete guide of witchcraft by raymond buckland, I love that book. Though its my only one its the book that helps me with whatever I need, has lots of information! )O( Blessed be.
Burn all those barks please , those books destroyed alot of community's *animals* Write from your own essence , you within is the most important for yourself ,all else outside comes second.... Please remember you dont need anything from outside from yourself... not even food for one can become breatharian , Lovely realize your origin shine , be well!
@AnyaPagan I get told this all the time, just ignore it. Once I did put on too much weight for my body but I wasnt overly fat- still people would bully me and tell me I was fat. Went down to my normal size again (runs in the family to be tall and slim, my dad was called "chicken legs" at school) and still people were telling me im too thin, some people are just bullies and need to look in the mirror at their own insecurities/imperfections before they decide it wise to point the finger and judge.
My copy of Wicca A Guide for the Solitary looks like yours--worn from much reading and use! I love that! Great reviews! I just got Earth Magic by Cunningham, I love it! Thanks for sharing with us.
have you read "The Ultimate BOS for the New Generation Solitary Witch" by Silver Ravenwolf? It is AMAZING! Deffinatley worth reading just a little pricey by my budget. There is also a very inspirational book i read stories out of when need be called "Out of the Broom Closet" I cant remember the auther off the top of my head but talk about inspirational! It makes me feel even more proud to call myself a Pagan.
Nice review. It honestly doesn't matter what "style" of witchcraft anyone does. Anyone who truly knows and understands magic(k) knows you can worship a completely imaginary, cute purple dragon with spots and get the same results. If you use ritual as a tool then some structure does help and most guides will give that, even fluffy bunnies. Just make sure you resonate and feel some passion. It's about intention and will, belief and passion/Love. Most important is to actually DO the Work.
Scott Cunningham makes out as if Wicca is a do it yourself religion which is complete nonsense. I respect neo-Wiccans, but when they make out as if it's a do it yourself religion, then they have just crossed the line. Edian McCoy is a horrible author, she's the one who thought that the potato was an ancient goddess symbol in Ireland even though potatos are not even native to Ireland and they were not around in Ireland back in pagan times. Read stuff by Gerald Gardner if you want serious Wica!
@PaganWarrior100 What do you think Gerald Gardner did when he made up Wicca? It was "do it himself",lol Most of it is Co Masonry and O.T.O. ritual, not even European. But even historically, traditional European Witchcraft was always "do it yourself". Majority were solitary and small communities that honored ancestors and the natural spirits of the area along with some cultural deities sometimes. There were many ways to worship and live. It's inside you, guides only give ideas and structure.
@7The7Green7 Although I agree that Gardner created the religion from a pick and mix from different pagan and occult sources as well as Freemasonry, I personally believe that to be Wica you have to be initiated into a traditional Gardnerian or Alexanderian coven. Gardner created the cult, and made it clear that to be Wica, you had to be initiated. There are other witchcraft traditions, and the neo-paganism that this girl follows is fine, but it's not actually Wicca.
@PaganWarrior100 you use the term Neo-pagans, so i assume you are over 50 to not be considered one yourself. Yes you do need to be initaited into a coven to be a member of a coven, but not to follow the path of wicca. I am sure it will be pointed out a dozen ways how I am wrong, afterall, the "witchier than thou" thing is running rampant in the community at the moment.
@Tinyoak2 I don't really see the point in the term ''neo-pagan''. Pagan is good enough for me. I use the term neo-pagan to describe those whose paths are generally more supported by the neo-pagan movement which seems to promote Paganism as a religion rather than an umbrella term which is what it is. There is so such path as Wicca in my opinion, the Wica are those who practise Gardner's witchcraft religion which he never called Wicca. I make no claims of being ''witchier than thou''.
ok one thing that people dont get the "divine comedy" the inferno" meaning hell in italian is and read closely DONTE'S! INFERNO its no everyones hell its his view! his wildest imagination! on what happens if you commit a certain sin! its not real!!!!! so if you dont wanna be catholic and wanna be pagan go right ahead no one is stopping you! you have one life do whatever you want! the devil is not real he is early christian propaganda that has been used now to scare 3 year old into prying!
For anyone who's interested in reading any of these pagan/wiccan books i know for a fact a few of them are on scribed (dot) com.... very good website for reading ebooks. I rated 5 stars BTW.
i have some scott cunningham books. he is the lead author of my collection. check out my video of my alter and books. i haven't gotten through bucklands complete book of shadows yet or solitary witch by silver ravenwolf
I am new to Wicca and I love your video, it was very helpful. I am thinking of maybe getting some of those books if my fiance has the money because I am unemployed and he is the one who does all the Wiccan book buying for me. I actually have the "Wicca: A guide for the solitary practitioner by Scott Cunningham" and "Living Wicca: A further guide for the solitary practitioner by Scott Cunningham" and quite a few other books my fiance got me for Christmas.
@AnyaPagan I know that it's been forever, but I dislike the woman because she lies not because I think she's ugly. She condems the Catholics then refferences the Divine Comedy? she says that the Church tried to destroy music but I LISTEN TO EARLy music! it doesn't make sense! I could go on but I don't have the space
@safehouse123 I dispise people who lie like her (Currot). Much of what she wrote in Book of Shadows made no sense, or seemingly contradicts itself. Then the one after that, I found utterly useless! It's the one the lass in the vid mentions. She's a poor writer and seems like a smug bitch. I can back this all up just give me time to find those books again.
You know I hear that alot. I have her "Solitary Witch, ultimate book of shadows" book and I foud some things in there that just didn't sound right. It seems like she tries to teach "her way" instead of letting one find their own path. I'm fairly new to Wicca so I'm in no position to say anything. Thanks for the vid though, Blessed Be!
@AnyaPagan im currently working on SRW things...I like it. (The idea of an exam at the end of the second book is neat...im even adding to it) Can you recommend other authors/books?
i liked this video, your my favorite, blessed be )0(
