Here are the books that I own on the Occult, Witchcraft, Herbalism, and other related topics. All titles that are followed by an asterisk* are books I haven’t read or that I am presently reading. I could recommend almost all of these books for one reason or another, even some of the ones I haven’t read. I have read more than what is listed here, and while some of those books were good and I learned from them, they weren’t good enough for me to want to keep.
For a basic list of recommended reading on Neopaganism in order of basic to advanced, I have an amazon list here. These are books that I either have read, or that have been recommended to me by trusted sources. If you have a question about why I think a book is good, go ahead and email me and I will try to answer your question.
I have them linked to amazon.com not because I think you should buy them, but so that you can read any reviews and get a sense of the book if you wish. I did the same for the tarot cards with aeclectic.net.
Bulfinch’s Mythology comes in various formats, including multiple “books” in one volume, so you could get the fables and Arthurian legends together. Eight Sabbats for Witches and The Witches’ Way can also be bought in one volume entitled A Witches Bible.
