Hi there, I’ve been practicing Wicca for a good many years now and one of the first questions that comes up is the one about where to start. My suggestion is always to start by doing some reading and studying to make certain that you understand what Wicca is really all about, and so that you can then decide whether this is truly the path that you want to follow. So with that in mind I thought I would offer some books and websites that are full of sound I information which can help you get started on your path.

To start with, here are some books that I would suggest.

"A Witch Alone" by Marian Green
"The Elements of Ritual" by Deborah Lipp
"Witchcrafting" by Phyllis Curott
"21st Century Wicca" by Jennifer Hunter
"Before You Cast a Spell" by Carl McColman
"When, Why...If" by Robin Wood
"Practical Pagan" by Dana Eilers

You can also find the recommended reading list that my coven uses at: http://www.tangledmoon.org/reading_list.htm

In addition, here’s a link to my discussion of some Pagan authors that I do not personally recommend:

Merry welcome and bright blessings, Sam. Please, not all caps and write like you speak because not all here understand email slang. May the God and Goddess bless you and keep you on your path to enlightenment. Love and light, Dragona.
