This Wicca Resources list includes all the books, audio, and video resources listed elsewhere on the Wicca Spirituality website.
Plus I've included other excellent sources that aren't yet mentioned on the site, but will be at some point because they are worth the attention.
For ease of reference, these sources are listed first by category, then by author, then by title. Books, audio recordings, and video/DVD are grouped along with the books.
Sharing her stories of ecological social action with rituals and chants for remaking the world, Starhawk's Dreaming the Dark is the dream for this century. She offers a vision for more than the Earth's survival. . . but for growth and well-being of us all.
If you are serious about practicing Wicca, this is indispensable. It's a workbook, not just a reference book.
Based on the fairy tale of the 12 Wild Swans, it leads you through three different levels of Wiccan experience: understanding the basics, healing your inner self, and priestessing the world.
Wonderful as a basis for ritual. You or your Circle can go through one chapter, one level a month. Teaches important Wiccan skills, as well.
Zee again offers how-to rituals and more, with her special style. I wouldn't necessarily take all of Zee's advice and historical opinions as fact, but her poetic soul really does speak to the Goddess in me.
Generally I disagree with giving out "spell-recipes" that you would follow word-for-word, but for beginner Wiccans this can be a good starting point.
The spells are effective, at any rate, and when "The Goddess Speaks," Zee catches Her intent beautifully.
This book has been the classic introduction to Wicca for a whole generation of solitary Witches.
Cunningham's unadorned style and clear instructions on the very basics of the Witchcraft are as useful today as when the book was written.
Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner offers simple rituals that a novice will have no difficulty following. It also includes an Author's Book of Shadows, to get you started....
In the Shadow of the Shaman has so many important tools, and goes into such depth on each, that it is one of my most used Wiccan resources.
In fact, I personally found this book to be so incredibly useful, my copy is literally stuffed with page markers, written notes, and a very thorough homemade index.
It's based in Shamanism, so it can have minor variations from traditional Wiccan practice, but since Wicca is a Shamanistic religion itself, that doesn't cause any real difficulties.
This book is especially valuable to me because it covers a lot of things that other Wiccan books don't.
Part of what is so helpful about In the Shadow of the Shaman are the almost 2-dozen charts Wolfe offers, cross-referencing the elements with animals and plants, and much more.
This is one of the most powerful resources I've ever found on manifesting what you want in your life, and keeping away what you don't want.
It gives you 22 amazing tools that can turn your life around. And it explains a little-understand aspect to manifesting magick that other books miss.
Pardon me for gushing, but I have had this experience for myself, several times, through the lessons in this book. And it can happen immediately! It feels so wonderful and so empowering to be able to take control of your life experiences.
A must-read for every Wiccan, if not every human.
Read this book. Even carry it around with you, if reading it is too much. Read a little every morning before you get up and every night before you go to bed, even if only one sentence. Read it every time you start to feel negative emotions start to build. Do the exercises— they will change your life!
If you're interested in choosing a Wiccan name for yourself, your child, your pet, your business, or whatever else, The Complete Book of Magical Names is a fabulous resource.
The Complete Book of Magical Names leaves other baby name books in the dust. Not only does it specialize in names of interest to pagans, but the explanations are richer, more detailed. McFarland also offers suggestions for the type of personality that the names will suit.
At last a book that explains the heroic journey that women undertake!
The hero's journey is an archetypal process that every male goes through on the path to maturity. Until fairly recently, it's been assumed that women, if we go through such a process at all, would have the same basic experience.
It's probably of little surprise that this is not the case.
Murdock's book is a wonderful guide through the feminine journey of self-discovery.
As Bolen has done for women with Goddesses in Everywoman, she offers the same gift to men in this companion volume.
Since you have aspects of both the Divine Feminine and the Divine Masculine, both these books are wonderful at helping you uncover the positive aspects of the gender duality with yourself.
Because they help you personalize these deities within yourself, they're particularly good introductions to the deities for Wiccans.
Joseph Campbell
Joseph Campbell is one of my favourite authors in spiritual matters. I recommend all his books. I've never met one I didn't happily devour!
A New Abridgement from the Second and Third Editions (Oxford World's Classics)
This is a classic reference book for mythology and religion, as well as Wicca.
At the time (1922), it was a groundbreaking expose on ancient religion, paganism, and the rise of Christianity. Consequently it was heavily censored in its early editions.
This edition thankfully presents all the original material, including in-depth examination of the myths of Sacrificial Kings.
Much easier to read, and more confined to factual reality than Graves, The Golden Bough is a vital addition to any Wiccan library.
"A New Earth" -- how could this not be an excellent book for Wiccans?
Aren't we all dreaming of and working for the day when the Earth is reborn? When humanity sees the Earth -- and each other -- with new eyes, with love and respect?
While Tolle doesn't elaborate on this New Earth, he effectively illustrates how to get there.
This book is one of my "bibles." It stays beside my bed, and I read from it (or one of my other bibles) every night and morning.
I can't recommend it highly enough. It will change your life, and free you from the suffering that surrounds you.
An intriguing read, telling the story of when Gopi Krishna's Kundalini energy rose spontaneously. He details the effects of this widely-misunderstood phenomenon.
An excellent warning book for those tempted to shortcut spiritual growth and raise Kundalini energy improperly prepared!
As spiritual practice becomes a household concern, awakening in daily life rather than on mountaintops, Work as a Spiritual Practice is a critical component.
I found this book helped me with my spiritual-work.
Power vs. Force explores the nature of true power, which is always of the spirit.
As Hawkins demonstrates, force is only on the material level, and so is constantly needing to be justified and backed up with rhetoric. Power, on the other hand, never needs justification
So much of Wicca is based on Power. That's why this is a highly recommended book.
In fact, not just for Wiccans, but for everyone for hopes for a day when the world lives in peace.
This has been one of the most uplifting books I've ever read. Hawkins quantifies the power inherent in various energy fields, or emotions. And then goes on to show how much more powerful a single individual operating from Love is, compared to a thousand people operating from Fear.
It gave me hope for the future. And put into perspective what each person's work in the world is, at this point in time.
A marvelous how-to book with lots of stories about telepathically communicating with animals -- your own, your friends', and wild animals too.
The exercises are realistic and easy to do, and really help develop this skill.
I highly recommend this book as a practical way to develop a very important skill for Wiccans, and a fun and useful tool for anyone who has animals in their lives.
Absolutely fascinating! I got this book for my birthday last year and sat out on my lawn for 4 days reading it. I couldn't put it down!
What I love most about Sheldrake is his insistence that to categorically deny the "paranormal" only because it doesn't fit with our current scientific dogma . . . is completely unscientific.
He doesn't get carried away with unsubstantiated claims, though. He puts forward, with disarming simplicity, the results he has found. Then he asks for further research.
The Sense of Being Stared At includes some material from his earlier book, Dogs That Know When Their Owners Are Coming Home, but it was so exciting that I had to read both books anyway!
I know that I love a lot of books, and I tend to enthuse more than I probably should.
Nevertheless, this is truly one of the books that reshaped my mind.
Dunne examines the nature of consciousness, dreams, and time with intriguing results.
For instance, he discovered - and studied - the phenomenon of dreaming forward in time. In other words, dreaming of events that haven't yet happened, but will.
One of the questions he asks is... Is this something everyone naturally does?
A heavy read, as you might expect when one of the foremost yogis and one of the foremost quantum physicists get together to talk spirituality, science, consciousness, and time.
I read it in small bites. But they were delicious bites.
This herbal is focused more on the medicinal properties of herbs than the magickal properties. But if you're looking for that sort of thing, it's a strong reference book.
I love the Medicine Cards. They are a form of divination, not based on the traditional Tarot (with suits and Major Arcana), but based on the Native American wisdom of animal spirits.
I've always found them insightful and thought-provoking.
This was the first "Tarot" deck that I used, and I still use it decades later.
(See the box below for more of my favourite Tarot decks.)
This is the book that, more than any other but Power vs. Force, has given me a certainty of hope for the future.
One of the most important concepts, in my opinion, is "emotional contagion." A fascinating study, which fits completely with my own experience of energy fields.
This sensitivity is an asset, but only once you've learned to protect yourself. Most of us are unaware of how much we take on other people's emotional and physical issues. And those of us who are aware are seldom skilled in keeping their energy boundaries clear and strong.
This disc and book provide invaluable tools. It will make an amazing difference in your life.
A fabulous Wiccan "Utopian" novel that becomes more relevant with each year. Explores the ultimate question for our times . . .
How do we overcome a system of violence, without becoming violent ourselves?
There are some painful scenes, but unlike most entertainment these days, it is not gratuitous nor overly disturbing. I'm highly sensitive to such things - as my spouse will attest! - and still find this one of the most inspiring novels I've ever read. And re-read. And re-re-read....
The pre-quil to The Fifth Sacred Thing, Walking to Mercury tells the story that led to that inspired community.
You are likely to find it a story you can relate closely to. I saw myself reflected in its pages, even though many of the events and details differed. This makes the book a jewel that I keep re-reading . . . Being a priestess in this world, I am fairly starved for reflections of my reality.
A fabulous re-telling of ancient Goddess tales from around the world. Shows a rich appreciation of the Divine as Feminine, and tells the stories from Her perspective for a change.
Beautifully-told. Inspired. A delight for all ages.
Forms a wonderful basis for community rituals. We have used many of these stories as the context and content of ritual and sacred drama.
• Answers to hard questions about the faith from children and non-Wiccan family and friends. Blessings and spells for daily problems. • Tips on celebrating the Sabbats through camping and other outdoor activities. • Projects to do together, such as making brooms, banners, calendars, and coloring books.
The ideas, suggestions, and activities collected here bring children into rituals that celebrate seasonal cycles and help reclaim the spiritual roots of today's modern holidays. -- Feminist Bookstore News
Explains from a child's perspective who Pagans are, what they do, and how and why they do it. Paganism is presented as honouring nature and celebrate the four seasons: no Hollywood version of Pagan or witchcraft weirdness is found in this book. Successfully designed for a child's attention span.
