Wicca/Witchcraft Resources

Compiled by George Knowles 

As we have quite a number of new members to the group who are also new to 'Wicca and the Craft of the Wise', I thought to put together a list of resources that may help you in your search for more information.  A list like this however cannot be definitive, based as it is on my own preferences.  You will find for instance I may have left out many popular authors and titles that others would strenuously advocate, but that is just the nature of things, what's good for one person may not be good for another.  The best advice I would give to anyone is to shop around and pick on what suits you best.   

Many people seem to think that Wicca and Witchcraft is a figment of the imagination, something born out of Hollywood, they cannot comprehend it as the ‘Spiritual Path’ that it is.  As such it requires diligent hard work, sincerity, discipline and persistence, if it is to work for you.  You need to know that there are good and bad resources out there, as well as good and bad authors and teachers.  There are also many defaulters who would lead you astray for their own gain, selling what many of us would call "Witchcrap".  So don’t just take my word for it:  read, research and question all that you find.   

Most of the books I mention below I have in my own library, those marked with the ( * ), I have been advised are well worth a mention and are on my 'books to get' list.  But first let us consider two questions:  “Where can I find information about ‘real’ witches and witchcraft”, and “How and where can I find or buy books on the subject?”  

In answer to the first, if you have a computer your life is made easier, but so much more complicated because it.  There is so much information available on the WWW that again I would advise caution before you accept what you see, hear or read.  When surfing sites, apply your own questioning judgment as to what is true, false or fiction.  There are many good search-engines you can use to aid your research, my own preference and the one I use the most is:  http://www.google.com/  Simply key in a word like ‘Witchcraft’ and you’ll be surprised at the amount of options it will find for you, refine your keyword for more advanced searches.  

“How and where can I find books on the subject?”  The first place to start is the occult reference section of your local library, but these often tend to be depleted and unless you know the authors name, title and ISBN number, to order books in can take an inordinate amount of time.  The same thing can apply to bookshops, while some may carry a small selection of the more contemporary bestsellers, Scott Cunningham, Starhawk and others, you’ll need to search out specialist 'Occult shops' for anything more advanced and sadly these are few and far between.  The best place to search of books therefore is once again on the WWW, and you will of course need a credit card.  Aside from the main online-bookstores like http://www.amazon.co.uk/ (or amazon.com) and http://barnesandnoble.com/, here’s one of my favourite places to look:  

http://abebooks.com/  This is an excellent site, I found most of the books in my own library here.  It has a huge searchable database of second-hand and hard to get books available in the UK and USA.  You also have the option to buy through Abe and they pay the bookseller, or you can contact the bookseller direct and buy through them.  

Another place you can find some real bargains is from auction sites, here’s three I have used with good results in the past:  

http://www.ebay.com/

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/WICCANSHOPPERS/

http://www.epaganauctions.com/  

Finally, before I get into the main list of resources, a little advice about on-line shopping.  Many of the larger sites mentioned above i.e. Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Ebay etc, also have subsidiary sites in different countries.  “Why should I buy from the USA when I can get the same book in the UK and save on shipping and postage, vis-à-vis?  Diligence in your research can save you pennies”  :-)

http://www.circlesanctuary.org/  - Circle Sanctuary is a Pagan sanctuary with a working herb farm situated on a two hundred acre nature reserve located between Mt. Horeb and Barneveld in Wisconsin.  Selena Fox aided by Jim Alan and a small group of pagan friends, founded circle in 1974.  In 1978, Circle was incorporated as a non-profit religious organization and became a legally recognized church.  That same year Circle Network was started with the aim of providing a national and international contact service while organizing and coordinating festivals and gatherings.  Their newsletter 'Circle Network News' was then distributed to provide up-to-date news and information to individuals and groups within the movement, while at the same time doing much to dispel the myths and untruths propagated by the media at large to the general public. 

In the early 80's, Selena was joined by Dennis Carpenter who she married in 1986, and together they continue to head the organization.  Through Circle Sanctuary they are sponsors of the 'Pagan Spirit Alliance' (PSA) and give active support to the 'Pagan Spirit Gathering' (PSG) each year in Wisconsin.  Circle also sponsors the 'Lady Liberty League’, which supports religious freedom for all Pagans.  Through the League, help can be gained with Legal, Financial, Magickal and Emotional support in cases of civil rights violations. 

From its farm, Circle provides many services through their Social, Educational and Networking facilities including:  Intensive training courses for Pagan ministers and a School for Priestesses (established in 1986).  As ministers themselves, Selena, Dennis and others perform Handfastings (Weddings), Blessings, Funerals and 'life passage' ceremonies both at the farm and up and down the country.  In 1992, they formed the 'Pagan Academic Network', the first inter-traditional network for Pagan scholars who participate in numerous academic seminars, networks and conferences in efforts to re-establish Paganism as an area of academic interest.

http://www.paganfed.demon.co.uk/about_us.htm - The Pagan Federation (UK) is the leading organization supporting Paganism in the U.K., founded in 1971 to provide information on Paganism by countering the many misconceptions about the religion.  The Federation works for the rights of Pagans to worship freely without censure as decreed in 'Article 18' of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which states:

"Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public and in private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance".

The Pagan Federation publishes a quarterly magazine called the 'Pagan Dawn', formerly known as 'The Wiccan', an influential periodical founded in 1968 by one of the Federations founding members, the late 'John Score'.  Under his guidance in the late 60's, the Wiccan rose to prominence in both Britain and the United States as one of the worlds leading journals on Paganism.  In collaboration with groups from Britain and the US, Score then played a key role in the formation of the 'Pagan Way' in America, and in 1971 it's counter part in Britain the 'Pagan Front'.  The Pagan Front however, evolved separately from the Pagan Way, and eventually changed its name to the Pagan Federation.  The Wiccan remained the means of dissemination for the Pagan Front/Federation, before changing it's name to the Pagan Dawn.   

Through-out the year, the Pagan Federation sponsors and arranges private (members-only) meetings, as well as public orientated events up and down the country.  The highlight of these events is the Annual Conference held normally in November, which attracts an international gathering.  The aim of the Federation is to provide information and contact between Pagan groups and genuine seekers of the Old Religion.  To promote contact and dialogue between the various branches of Paganism in Britain and Europe, as well as other Pagan organizations world-wide, and to provide practical support and effective information to members of the public, the media, public bodies and government administrations.

The Three Principles of the Pagan Federation are:

Love for and Kinship with Nature.  Reverence for the life force and its ever-renewing cycles of life and death.

The Pagan Ethic: "If it harms none, do what thou wilt".  This is a positive morality expressing the belief in individual responsibility for discovering one's own true nature and developing it fully, in harmony with the outer world and community.

Recognition of the Divine, which transcends gender by acknowledging both the female and male aspect of Deity.

Membership to the Federation is restricted to persons over the age of 18 years, who agree with the above Three Principles.
