"Wishcraft:
How To Get What You Really Want", by Barbara Sher and Amie Gottlieb.
The
true magick happens in your mind - your thoughts control your reality, and how
you react to things. This book takes you step-by-step through the process of
deciding what you want, how you want it, and how you can make it happen. A very
practical, and useful tool for developing your magickal and wishing abilities.
"Wicca
Candle Magick", by Gerina Dunwich.
For beginners, but use your
judgement about whether a spell is right for you to do. I have not read this
book myself, I am relying on other's judgement. There are a lot of spells in
here!
"Practical
Candleburning Rituals", by Raymond Buckland.
This is good for learning
to do candlemagick, and also there are two versions of each spell so you can
choose the one that suits your religious preference. However, use your
intuition, it is my feeling that some elements of spells have been left out,
that might improve the working, but they will work the way they are written as
well. Just be aware that if you feel that something should be added to any
working, go ahead and do it that way.
"Spells
and How They Work", by Janet and Stewart Farrar.
This is a
comprehensive guide to spellcasting, covering all aspects of magickal working.
The Farrar's are excellent authors, as their books testify.
"Candle
Magick", by Charmaine Dey.
A book that is a must for anyone who is
seriously interested in utilizing candle magick. It goes into the candles
themselves, the different types and how to use them, symbols, color lore,
plantary influences, and more. It's the only book you really need for candle
magick - you can plan your entire ritual - you've got everything all in one book
and easily accessible.
"Positive
Magic: Occult Self Help", by Marion Weinstein.
This book is so
"white light" that there is not a negative vibe in this whole book! However,
there is a lot of knowledge and understanding of what magick really is,
and how you can use it to help yourself in your everyday life.
"A
Witch Alone: 13 Moons to Master Natural Magic", by Marian Greene.
I
absolutely love this book! It is one of those that, even years later, I have
gone back to it to read it again. Marian Greene is a woman with an excellent
education of mind and heart. This writing is specifically geared to the solitary
witch, however, much of the knowledge is basic and profound, and useful to
anyone. A book that truly will awaken ancient wisdom.
