There are lists on lists on lists for books if you're just starting out, and most likely they'll be full of Wiccan books. Being a folk witch myself, I wish I had been given a list of secular or left hand books instead of books to a religion that I wasn't a part of. Here's that list!

You read my mind, I was just evaluating my books and getting ready to post a call for recommendations on my Insta. And thanks for NON-WICCAN books! I feel like it's difficult sometimes to know which books are Wicca based and which aren't, and as a beginner, one of the few things I'm sure of is I don't want to follow that religious path. Thank you so much! I already had two of these, I'm adding the rest to my list.

@WildWomanWitchcraft 4 года назад

Kat hope you enjoy them 🙏🏻🙏🏻

@liminalquartz 4 года назад

Just wanted to say, I finally found a copy of Love is In the Earth that I could afford - they are out of print and EXTREMELY expensive, mine was $55 for the older edition in bad shape, but oh my god, it's worth it!! Shell out for this one, this is the best, most detailed book on crystals I've ever read, and i have a bunch. Most books only do a couple crystals or are so esoteric they make no sense *cough*Crystal Bible* but this one is a good balance of spiritual and useful, and even touches on the geology, which I NEVER see. I see these go for $60-$100, but if you can afford one, definitely get it, it's better to just get this one and not get any other crystal books than to spend the same amount on 5 not-good or not-in-depth crystal books.

@user-kb4wc2ui5o 4 года назад

Thank you so much for the non-Wiccan suggestions. I have always loved Witchcraft and been interested by Wicca, but even though my family is not big on religion, and those that are a bit more are letting go of some old "standard" beliefs, I'm not sure what I'm doing yet. I don't fully believe in Christianity and never really have. I've always had more agnostic views, but I have been through things that have made me believe a little more in an Abrahamic god. I am young still and I don't want to make any major decisions until I know what I want and what I like. Both Wicca and Witchcraft have been very drawing to me, however I am leaning more and more towards Witchcraft, but am still thinking of studying Wicca

@oscargomez7735 3 года назад

Can I ask what is it about Wicca that people don’t want to practice?

@user-kb4wc2ui5o 3 года назад

@@oscargomez7735 it's not that I don't want to practice it or am against it. I am young and not sure if I want to make the commitment to the religion, it's also a little easier to hide in my opinion. I may transition to a Wicca-based practice, but I don't see that as of now. It's just a preference thing. I know a lot of people that still greatly that Wicca and witchcraft is the same thing, most of them don't know that Wicca is a religion. As I said before, I am still young and learning the craft alone, while trying to hide it while having no privacy, is not easy. I haven't delved very deep into it actually for that reason. I hope to one day find someone I trust that can help guide me, even if I am years into my practice at that time, it would be nice to have someone with more experience to show me some things I never tried, or spells I have been overthinking, etc

@user-kb4wc2ui5o 3 года назад

@@oscargomez7735 I have a feeling that for most people, it's about the religion part. Whether you want to remain in the belief system you have been in, or you just want to avoid religion all together. That's the beauty in witchcraft, and other things, it's open for you to shape it how you want. Make it work for you

I have the first and last books in this list--the crystal book and the prayer book by Cei Serith. None of the ones in between, so possibly I will add some of them to my 'to-get' list (although I don't consider myself a beginner; I've been doing this for 35 years. I just like books.) And yes...way too many books I see these days are Wiccan-only, but to be fair...that's most of what sells. Easier to find info on. (Not Wiccan, myself. Multi-pantheon polytheist/animist.)
