	Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner by Scott Cunningham Rating: 4.5 / 5 Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner is the essential primer from one of the best known authors on Wicca. Focusing on the importance of individualism in your spiritual path, Cunningham explains the very basics of Sabbats (holy days), ceremonies, altars, and other nuts and bolts of Wicca that a solitary practitioner may have trouble finding elsewhere. While Wicca shouldn't be your sole point of reference when considering Wicca as your way of life, it is one of the best starting points.
	Living Wicca: A Further Guide for the Solitary Practitioner<> by Scott Cunningham Rating: 4.5 / 5 Living Wicca is the perfect companion to Cunningham's Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner, containing the same concise and comprehendible style that makes the first book so enjoyable. With Living Wicca, Cunningham goes beyond the mechanics of the faith and emphasizes the importance of making Wicca a part of your everyday life. Focusing on the solitary practitioner, Cunningham encourages you to make your own path within the Wiccan tradition, and offers simple suggestions, from recycling to visiting the park, that heighten your spiritual awareness of the mundane world.
	A Witches' Bible: The Complete Witches Handbook by Janet and Stewart Farrar Rating: 4 / 5 Everything you need to know is here! The Sabbats; Casting & Banishing the Magic Circle; The Complete Book of Shadows; The Great Rite; Initiation Rites; Consecration Rites; Spells; Witches' Tools; Witchcraft & Sex; Running a Coven; Clairvoyance; Astral Projection.  This collection includes two books in one volume, Eight Sabbats for Witches and The Witches' Way and is the most comprehensive and revealing work on the principles, rituals and beliefs of modern witchcraft.
	The Spiral Dance: A Rebirth of the Ancient Religion of the Great Goddess by Starhawk Rating: 4 / 5 The original book that brought Goddess worship to the public eye has marked its 20th anniversary, yet it still remains an integral part of the Wiccan canon. The Spiral Dance leans heavily toward the feminist aspects of Wicca, but Starhawk's comments on the new edition make it clear that she is aware of the growing male presence in witchcraft. However, this edition is not some watered down, politically correct revision of the original. Very little is changed aside from the addition of Starhawk's observations on how the book has weathered its first decade, and what few changes she would make if she were writing it today. Readers interested in learning more about contemporary witchcraft, whether considering Wicca as a way of life or simply desiring to understand this earth-based religion, will find a wealth of information in The Spiral Dance, and will notice that it becomes one of the most frequently consulted books in their Wicca libraries.
	Buckland's Complete Book of Witchcraft by Raymond Buckland Rating: 3.5 / 5 This 1986 classic is not only an excellent introduction to the Wiccan religion and earth-based religions in general, it's also a workbook that can take the serious student to the equivalent level of third-degree Gardnerian. Though Raymond Buckland was a student of the late great Gerald Gardner, this manual does not adhere to a specific branch or denomination of witchcraft, but rather seeks to teach the elements and philosophies common to all, whether Celtic, Saxon, Finnish, or what have you. Buckland is credited with bringing the "old religion" to the U.S., and covens and solitary witches practicing the craft in the U.S. today have him to thank for getting it out of the closet. While Buckland's Complete Book of Witchcraft is a must-have for any serious Wiccan practitioner, it is full of down-to-earth spiritual wisdom, which makes it a wonderful addition to the library of any broadminded seeker on the path toward the One.
	Witchcraft: A beginner's guide by Teresa Moorey Rating: 5 / 5 Far from the medieval superstition or fairy story, witchcraft is real, alive and growing in today's world.  It is a religion of Nature-worship that exalts the Feminine, encourages individuality and delights in celebration - and yes, it is also about magic, for magic itself is a natural force. If you are attracted to the magical and mystical, if you have ever been alone in the countryside yet felt that you were not alone - or if you are simply curious about natural forces, this is the book for you.
	The Craft: A Witch's Book of Shadows by Dorothy Morrison, Raymond Buckley Rating: 4.5 / 5 The first thing Dorothy Morrison hopes to establish in The Craft is what the Craft is not. She explains what the Craft is, which is offerred in Morrison's typically warm, humorous, and concise style throughout this all-inclusive handbook.  Expect a highly detailed account of spells, wand skills, sample blessings, altar setups, invocations, and examples of how to use a cup, pentacle, cauldron, and athame.  Morrison closes with a Craft calendar, listing celebrations and rituals for every month and season of the year.
