Title/Description Author Price

Ancient Ways: Reclaiming Pagan Tradition
Pauline Campanelli $11.96
Contains crafts, recipies and decorating ideas for the Pagan sabbats.

Animal Magick: The Art of Recognizing
& Working With Familiars
D.J. Conway $11.16
I haven't read this one. The Amazon.com Reader Reviews of it seem complimentary. Conway's other stuff I've read has been pretty good, if a bit on the fluffy, happy-shiny side.

21st Century Wicca: A Young Witch's Guide
to Living the Magical Life
Jennifer Hunter $10.36
Official synopsis: Written by a young witch in her mid-twenties, this book provides a refreshingly modern approach to Wicca craft and practice. Chapters cover spells, sabbats, initiations, psychic abilities, everyday magic, the effects of Wicca on relationships with others, being a teenage witch, and much more. A series of exercises designed to both teach and accustom the reader to the ways of witchcraft is also included.
Ariadne's Thread: A Workbook of Goddess Magic Shekhinah Mountainwater $13.56
I haven't read this one. From the Amazon.com Reader Reviews, it sounds massively Dianic. Dianic is most assuredly not my path, but if you have leanings in that direction, this is probably a good book for you.

West Country Wicca: A Journal of the Old Religion Rhiannon Ryall $8.95
The author relates how she was introduced to the Craft in Cornwall, pre-Gardner. Has great recipies and a wonderful insight into what the religion that survived in rural England was really like before Gerald Gardner and the Neo-Pagan Renaissance.
A Book of Pagan Rituals Herman Slater, (Editor) $11.96
Published in 1978, it pre-dates the majority of Neo-Pagan literature, but is still considered an emminently useful resource book.

Circle Round: Raising Children in Goddess Traditions
Starhawk, Anne Hill, Diane Baker $18.17
A collection of stories, songs, games, craft projects, recipes and wisdom intended as a sourcebook for Pagan parents.
