List of Useful Books

Basic introductions to witchcraft in general:

• The Life and Times of a Modern Witch, by Janet and Stewart Farrar; Phoenix Publishing, 1987.
  This is a more detailed, and in many ways better introduction than The Truth About Witchcraft Today, but it is now (sadly) out of print.
• The Pagan Path, by Janet and Stewart Farrar and Gavin Bone; Phoenix Publishing, 1995.
  This is oriented towards paganism in general, rather than Wicca, but contains a lot of good material.
• The Spiral Dance (Twentieth Anniversary Edition), by Starhawk; Harper San Francisco, 1979, 1989, 1999.
  This is the best, and most popular, introduction to Wicca and Goddess religion available today. It should be in every witch's library. (Note: As you read it, be sure to go read every footnote; the body of the book is the 1979 version, and the footnotes bring it up to 1999.)
• The Truth About Witchcraft Today, by Scott Cunningham; Llewellyn Publications, 1992.
  This is shorter, less formal, and more easily read by those who might be a little scared by the whole topic of witchcraft than The Life and Times of a Modern Witch.
