Books lists or anything good for learning more things to do with witchcraft or wicca?
I'm not new to witchcraft I just want to learn more
Because I am running out of supplies to learn from
I'm open to any form of witchcraft
Even the bad stuff
I want to learn
Doesn't mean I will do bad things
Knowing can help preventing
I read a good book about....several in fact. I don't remember the names, but they were all written by J.K. Rowling. Maybe do a go ogle search to see if you can find the name of the books.
I would look up anything that deals with Celtic or Druid magic. They are the foundations from the old magic and will give tons of info as they branched out to different cultures dating back to the Irish Celts and the Romans. There are tons of things on line to look at and books from Amazon.
High Magic by Frater
Green Witchcraft by Ann Moira
and anything by Deborah Lipp (she has three books out though I don't know much about the last one she is great)
hi there are some good books i know of..
Norse Magic by DJ Conway
Helrunnar by Jan Fries(book on runes- Scandinavian alphabet)
Book of Charms
Buckland anything by him.
Cunninghams books on magical herbal, incenses etc are great.
Old Herb books like Culpepper are good reference books on herbs,
another great herb book in Complete herbal by David Hoffman!
hope this helps
I suggest DVD?s like Witchcraft Rebirth of the Old Religion by Raymond Buckland (DVD), Discovering Witchcraft by Janet and Stewart Farrar (DVD), Ancient Mysteries Witches by A&E (DVD), Craftwise Volume 1: Candle Magick by Peter Paddon (DVD), Craftwise Volume 2: Cord Magick by Peter Paddon (DVD), Wish on a Spell, Vo. 1 by Deborah Gray (DVD), Practical Magick (DVD), The Craft (DVD).
Try Wicca for Beginners by Thea Sabin and/or The Circle Within by Dianne Sylvan. Both of these books are very good reading and both will give you some deeper insight to the Craft and how it relates to you.
Elements of Witchcraft: Natural Magick for Teens by Ellen Dugan, and Teen Witch by Silver Ravenwolf is also good. But neither is completely accurate in regards to history, but they will help out nonetheless.
Just my thought on the issue, take from it what you wish and leave what you don?t like.
I hope my blurp helps out.
Blessed Be

Ugh, to start off, DO NOT read anything by Silver Ravenwolf. She's the queen of showy, fake Wicca (people just doing it out of bitterness and for attention). Here is what I would recommend:
Triumph of the Moon by Ron Hutton (A very extensive and accurate history of the craft and paganism.SmA must for anyone.)
Anything by Scott Cunningham. He has some great herbal and crystal encyclopedias that I have thumbed through regularly. Lots of legends and old spells you would be surprised to learn. Also his books on elemental Witchcraft are just great. Here are the titles:
Earth, Air, Fire and Water
Earth, Air, Fire and Water: More Techniques of Natural Magic
Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs
Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Crystal, Gem & Metal Magic
A surprising find of mine was Elemental Witch by Tammy Sullivan. I wouldn't recommend devoting your life to one element like the books sort of recommends, but it helps you relate to them and has some good info in it.
The Way Of The Green Witch: Rituals, Spells, And Practices to Bring You Back to Nature
by Arin Murphy-Hiscock
(Lots of simple stuff with some solid information and great ideas. I loved it because it doesn't get preachy or too far out there. It's just solid stuff to bring you closer to the Earth.)
I have a focus on working with the four elements, so these are some of my favorites. They truly made me into the witch I am today. For wider ideas, also go here for a wonderful list with complete reviews. Nearly anything I still need to look at or love comes from this list:
