What a treasure trove of knowledge there is here! Do you lovely folks know of other pagan/Wicca websites that have forums and offer discussion topics, current events, blogs, etc? I know of WitchVox but it doesn’t seem like it’s been updated in a long time. Tia :)

I am reading his material, and I like how he focuses on beliefs first, then the inner temple, rather than the rituals, which I find way more helpful. I just find many conflicting ideas on who to read and who not to.

While not technically Wiccan, it uses the same things, however, it includes the old system of avenging and protection. Something modern books exclude while touting “harm none”. (Rede means advice anyway and all the BTW’s I talk to aren’t afraid of cursing if need be.) Paul also gives some origins about where some things come from, mentioning Kabbalah and older occult practices.

I usually recommend Scott for those beginning witchcraft and/or Wicca, too. But I include similar disclaimers. I started out with this book and I credit it for my transformation.

As a beginner, I am still gathering information and trying to find my way through the vast forest of books, blogs and sites. I have read Cunningham, but now feel I need something with a bit more “meat” to it? Does that make sense? What do you recommend for the “next level”?

I remember when I was growing up that Dungeons & Dragons and Ouija boards were still being cited in instances of murder (i.e. he played D&D which ‘obviously’ led to him murdering people; these days the culprit video games) 😛

Not quite sure why I didn’t, or maybe it just didn’t leave an impression on me. But I’ve heard good things about it.
