The Updated Books and Resources Master Post

eclecticwitcheryafoot:

I’ve done my best to categorize and organize the titles according to subject matter. 

– Some of these titles have Wiccan influence. 

– Certain authors are not 100% reliable for information (DJ Conway, Silver Ravenwolf are some examples).

I hope you find this list to be helpful and resourceful as you develop your own beautiful practice!
