3 books I just bought

[Jeremiah767]

Well, activity in the forum seems to be down so I decided to make a thread about these 3 books I ordered yesterday. They look promising, looking for any feedback at all about em, I'd like to know if they were worth my investment from people with more experience in the matter

Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner

-Scott Cunningham

Living Wicca: A Further Guide for the Solitary Practitioner

-Scott Cunningham

I already know Thea Sabin to be a good author but I'm not so sure on the second one. I'm also open to any suggestions for good books on the subject.

Scott Cunningham is one of the best authors you can find when it comes to this subject and info on things like (modern) Witchcraft.

Check out Wicca for One: The Path of Solitary Witchcraft by Raymond Buckland. Many of his books are good.

Both of the titles by Cunningham and the Buckland are wonderful introductions for the solitary practitioner. Also, if you don't have "Uncle Bucky's Big Blue Book"
("Buckland's Complete Book of Witchcraft") yet, you will. Of all the books on my shelves about Wicca, those four are, by far, the most influential. Not that I subscribe wholly to any of the particular dogma presented therein (there is some, inevitably) but I have found the philosophies, techniques, and rituals to be a wonderful starting place for finding my own eclectic path.

I have heard a lot of great stuff about Scott Cunningham. I have three of his books now but haven't had time to get into them yet. Thea Sabin's book is great and it was the first Wiccan book I read. It seemed like it was written just for me. You have made good choices.

thanks, I am very excited about these, more so then with most books as I'm not the biggest reader. I only read things of interest to me, religious, political, pertaining to things like astrophysics, or law(yeah, I'm getting a bachelor's degree in criminal justice through online schooling) but this definitely I look forward to. It has been entirely too long since the last time I tried to get involved with a religion, but that's what being in the military will do to you(not that I regret it).

Exactly what it says on the tin. Very good light reading.

I was thinking about this post today and there is one thing I figured I should add about Thea's book. For a beginner it comes in handy as a reference guide as well as a "get to know" book. For things like grounding and energy work, drawing a circle, basic spellcasting, and communication with the Deities it has great "plain English" instructions. I could see myself wearing my copy out and having to replace it several times.

I just picked up another Scott Cunningham book yesterday, by far my favorite pagan-y author

They both just arrived, took long enough, but is understandable considering how far they had to ship it lol
