Witchcraft Book Recommendation Lists

(Reposting again bc tumblr turned off the reblogs on the original wtf. From an answer to an inquiry in the witchcraft tags. Decided to repost for anyone else who might need it.)

Here’s the post I made with recommendations for green witchcraft and plant magic. The list includes magical resources and accompanying practical texts on botany, herbology, and medicinal plants.

Here’s the post I made with recommendations for general witchcraft study, including practical sources on the history of modern witchcraft. (In particular, I recommend Margot Adler’s “Drawing Down The Moon” and Ronald Hutton’s “The Triumph of the Moon” for information about the modern movement.)

Here’s a recent photo of my personal library, if you’re looking for a general list of titles to check out.

Here’s the post I made with a list of JSTOR articles I’ve found that relate to witchcraft, witch trials, folk magic, occult beliefs, superstition, and the history surrounding all of them. It’s not exhaustive, but it’s pretty comprehensive.

And here are a couple of masterlists of podcast episodes that deal with witchcraft, witch trials, the history of witchcraft-related beliefs, and resources for fact-checking and debunking misconceptions and misinformation commonly found in witchcraft spaces.

(Also I have published a few books on practical secular witchcraft, if you’re interested….)

You can also find additional recommendations in the "book recs" and "witchy books" tags on my blog.

Hope this helps!

(If you’re enjoying my content, please feel free to drop a little something in the tip jar or check out my published works on Amazon or in the Willow Wings Witch Shop. 😊)

List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox for the last 10 people who liked or reblogged something from you 💖

Hiya! Thanks for the ask!

the crisp smell of rain on concrete when it just started raining

when my cat comes to cuddle me at random moments and starts purring before i even touch him

eating delicious food i cooked myself without rush

knowing I'm loved enough to hear of my friends' achievement, and that they're telling me because they know I'll be happy for them and not jealous

being able to go out whenever I want for errands, to meet people or just to walk around, and knowing pleasure isn't something to feel guilty for, but something to be enjoyed and found in the simplest things

#asks #ask game #sort of like gratitude journaling #which i appreciate #personal

#genuinely #have you smelled tobacco #that shit is foul #and it makes your breath taste like morgue #also terrible for dental hygiene #and blood pressure #and lungs in general #anyway #no thanks

A little help

Good morning everyone, I'm finding myself in some sot of a predictament.

I've been contacted by a deity of the Greek system, who claims to be affiliated to nature (and particularly fond of folk music) and of masculine nature, I cannot however find his name, and I'm tearing my hair out about it a little.

Does anyone have a list, or like, a vibe from what I'm telling you? He feels like running through a young hay field at the town festival.

Space asks! Saturn, Canopus, Cassiopeia, Milky Way, Comet

Hiya again! Here for the spacey questions!

Saturn: Any pets?  Yes! My lovely son Hypnos (fluffy black cat who cuddled me all morning) who is 2yo and well-behaved! (a lil minx anyway cuz cat, but I love him okay?)

Canopus: Have you ever broken a bone?  Yep, two actually, my collarbone when I was like, 8? Doing Aikido, and my elbow when I was 10, doing Aikido again... guess what my mom did? Took me out of Aikido classes...

Cassiopeia: Favourite book? That's hard, man, I've read amazing books an fanfiction during this short life, it's hard to choose! But okay, so I usually re-read all Percy Jackson and affiliated series once a year, but I've also read and ADORED Six of Crows from Leigh Bardugo (met the actors of the series too) and I grew up Worshipping Ellana from Pierre Bottero (best female character I've ever read, she was so cool)! Idk if it answers the question, but I tried!

Milky Way: Who’s your oldest friend? He's actually an ex of mine, I've known him for more than 10 years, and we dated before we both realized we were trans. That realtionship was very strange, and we're def better off as friends!

Comet: What’s your big dream?  Honestly? I don't exactly have a particular one, but being happy? Like, suceeding in my transition, achieving a stable way of life that would allow me enough freedom to cultivate interests and relationships, meeting people who make me happy, and going places that fulfill me spiritually? Healing my inner child? Viewing the world with eyes unclouded by fear and hate? I think that's a good dream!

Thank you for asking, Magpie!
