Other Wiccan books:
| Richard Grimassi: "The Wiccan mysteries: Ancient origins and teachings," Llewellyn Publ., (1997). Review/order this book According to Amazon.com: "Raven Grimassi traces the origins of rites and practices peculiar to the craft and uncovers their inner meanings." |
| Judy Harrow, "Wicca covens: How to start and organize your own," Citadel Press, (1999). Review/order this book This book has been given high ratings by reviewers. However, its title may be confusing. It deals mainly with resolving conflicts within existing covens, not describing how to start a coven from scratch. "Covencraft" (see below) may be a better guide to help form a new coven. |
| Ellen Hopman & Lawrence Bond, "People of the Earth: The New Pagans speak out," Inner Traditions Intl Ltd,(1996) Review/order this book This book contains interviews of dozens of Pagans, from Margot Adler to Oberon Zell. It informs the reader of the tremendous diversity within Neopaganism |
| Evelyn Heinemann, "Witches: A psychoanalytic exploration of the killing of women," Free Association Books, (1999). Review/order this book This is a book on the burning times. The author argues that Freud and others were seriously mistaken in their understanding of killing of women in the 16th and 17th century. She "asserts that the witch phenomenon is an example of the potential for destructiveness by the human imagination and shows the necessity of understanding unconscious processes in social phenomena today." The first chapter is available online. |
| Ronald Hutton, "The Triumph of the Moon," Oxford University Press, (2000). Review/order this book This book describes the precursors to Neopaganism in the 19th century which led to modern Wicca in the UK. Thoroughly researched; not cheap. |
| Amber K, "Covencraft: Witchcraft for three or more," Llewellyn Publ., (1998). Review/order this book A "...complete guidebook for anyone who desires to practice Witchcraft in a caring, challenging, well-organized spiritual support group..." |
