Beginner Friendly Witchraft Books

With a plethora of information available, it's essential to find the right resources to guide you through your magical path. Here are some books I would recommend to any beginner that offer a solid foundation into various paths and topics.

Witchery by Juliet Diaz

The book is a mix of personal experiences, practical instruction, and spiritual guidance, making it suitable for both beginners and people with more experience in the craft.

The Crooked Path by Kelden

This book has been an invaluable resource in my personal craft. It explores various aspects of traditional witchcraft, which if you're interested in I would definitely recommend.

Psychic Witch by Matt Auryn

This book is for anyone curious about the unseen world and their own untapped potential.

Green Witchcraft by Paige Vanderbeck

This is a guide to practicing green witchery, harnessing the natural world's magic for growth, healing, and living in harmony with nature.

Witchcraft for Beginners by Lisa Chamberlain

A pretty informative guide to witchcraft with brief but thorough descriptions of different paths.

Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs by Scott Cunningham

A classic book on magickal herbs

Sigil Witchery by Laura Tempest Zakroff

A comprehensive guide to sigil magick, focusing on helping you develop your own powerful sigil magick practice.

The Witch's Altar by Jason Mankey and Laura Tempest Zakroff

The witch's altar history, creation, and magical power to elevate rituals and connect with the sacred.

These are just ones I've personally found helpful when I first got into the craft, if you want any recommendations for specific topics feel free to ask :).

Witchcraft Books Aren't Free. Pay Your Writers.

Since it seems some people still need telling , this is your regularly-scheduled reminder that it’s not okay to illegally download and distribute free copies of recently-published books from a niche market where the authors depend directly on monthly royalties to pay their bills.

Books are a luxury. If you can’t afford a title, save your pennies or check out a copy from your local library. There are plenty of free resources and public domain texts available in the meantime.

It’s worth mentioning that plenty of authors in the witchcraft and pagan markets make a point of providing free resources and advice to the community on a regular basis, myself included. To take that information and then turn around and steal from us on top of it is not only petty, it’s cruel, especially considering the financial hardship we’re all facing in the current economy.

I see so many witches complaining about the lack of good books out there, but if authors aren't going to be paid for their labor, what motivation is there to write books for publication? Creative labor is still LABOR and writers should be properly paid for their published works, especially in limited markets like witchcraft, paganism, and occultism, where every single sale counts not only for paying the bills now, but for the possibility of being able to publish material in the future.

If you claim to be supporting the witchy community but you're doing so by distributing stolen digital copies of witchcraft books still under recent copyright, you are stabbing your fellow practitioners in the back. If you want to actually support the community, PAY THE WRITERS and encourage others to do the same.

Download overpriced textbooks and public domain titles, not witchcraft books.

Give me witchcraft books to buy. I'm looking for

* tarot

* Norse paganism

* herbal magic

* kitchen witchery

* candle magic

* crystals

* history of witchcraft in any area of the world (Europe, the Americas, Asia, Africa, anywhere. Even specific places like the 13 Colonies in pre US America, or specific countries or something- however these need to be written from a neutral POV by non faith based scholars. I don't want a bias)

Thank you for your recommendations. I love learning and having these things are important to me. Thanks again!

Magickal Bath for when things get too hard

This is a bath I usually make during difficult periods of my life. It’s useful for when you feel sad, depressed, anxious, angry, overwhelmed, stressed, and all of those bad feelings we don’t wanna get stuck in. We all have some bad days, so I thought it’d be useful to share ‘cuz we don’t gatekeep in here!

Ingredients:

- A large pan with some water;

- Himalayan or Sea Salt: to purify the water and everyone who’ll bathe in it.

- Thyme: to protect you and to give you strength for challenging situations.

- Lavender: to soothe your feelings over a situation and to give you inner peace.

- Origano: to enhance your vibrations and to solve current dilemmas.

Put those ingredients in the pan and chant your intentions while you stir it clockwise.

You can pray (I often use the Hail Mary prayer for this one) or just say your intentions out loud, it doesn’t really matter. Stir it until it starts to bowl, then wait until it becomes warm (or at room temperature) to bathe with it.

I hope this post reaches people who need it. I’m praying for all of us who’re going through a lot. Feel what you need to feel, but it’s also important to let it go when the time is right.

As much as I could be a teacher, I suggest you find many resources for knowledge to develop your own experiences. Make sure you research the oils you buy/use because some oils can damage or hurt your skin in a really bad way. as well as some aromatherapy oils that can hurt your pet (if you have one).

Dressing oils — Specially prepared oil applied to spell and ritual objects before using them to sanctify, charge, and prepare them for use.

Essential oils — Volatile, concentrated oils, with the characteristic scent of the plant/flower they are from.

Ritual oils — Oils used to anoint candles, ritual tools, material, furniture, money, and other such items, and then use to anoint the body are often also called anointing oils.

Basic oils and their use:

Are you tired of anti-choice people telling you that your views on abortion have no historical/religious support?

Me too.

So I wrote a book proving them wrong.

"An exploration of the history of contraception and abortion in witchcraft and paganism.

This celebration of the history and spirituality of reproductive freedom combines thorough research, reflection, and magical practice with an easy-to-understand writing style. Learn about birth control in the ancient world, which gods and goddesses were historically called on to prevent pregnancy, how to cast a spell to find an abortion provider, and more!

Written with an intersectional, trans-inclusive approach, Sacred Choice acknowledges the nuance of reproductive justice and the ways abortion and contraception access is affected by race, gender, ability, and social class."

Release Date: September 22nd, 2022 (Fall Equinox!)

Available for preorder now!

You can preorder the ePUB for $1 USD on Etsy. You will receive a bonus PDF to ensure file compatibility on all devices. Your digital files will be sent to you on the release date.

If Kindle is more your speed, you can preorder the Kindle ebook for $2.99 on Amazon. The ebook will be auto-delivered to your Kindle library on the release date.

You can also preorder the paperback for $6.99 + shipping on Etsy! Physical copies will be shipped on the book's release date, so you will receive them a few days after the 22nd.

Please note that paperback preorders are hard-capped at 100 copies. This is because I am a one-woman distribution team and want to make sure I'm able to fill orders on time. If having a physical copy is very important to you, I recommend ordering as soon as possible to make sure you get one.

I'm really excited about this project, so please do message me with any questions you have about the content, my research, or the release!

How to reference in your grimoire

If you intend on sharing your grimoire with the public or you're a fan of a more academic style of writing then you're gonna want to reference your sources to avoid any kind of plagiarism.

You may have already learned how to reference at your college/uni, in which case follow that method, but if you haven't let me show you what i've been doing in my grimoire.

The referencing style I was taught in my degree is a form of APA 7th edition. This style is best for essays and small research papers and since my grimoire is essentially a bunch of mini contextual essays stuck together I thought it was appropriate.

Here's the format:

Author Surname, Author Initials. (Date of publication/release). Title of source: sub-heading/title of chapter. Publishing company/website. Place of publication/website link. [Format]

So for example, the book I'm currently reading is Buried by Professor Alice Roberts. If I were to reference this book in this format it would look something like this:

Roberts, A. (2023). Buried, An Alternative History of The First Millennium in Britain: Water and Wine. Simon and Schuster. London. [Book]

(Its up to you whether you decide to put the chapter before the book title, it doesn't make a difference, but I prefer doing it this way.)

This reference will need to follow an in-text citation. You can do that by adding a little number in parentheses next to your quote or paraphrase that corresponds to the number on your list of references OR you can make a mini reference following this method:

(Author Surname, Author Initials. (Date of publication). Page number if required)

So following this method an in-text citation would look like this:

(Roberts, A. (2023). p1)

Tips

If you are citing a source with multiple authors, organised them alphabetically by surname, your in text citation only needs to include the first one.

If you're referencing an online upload of an old source like Internet Archive or Project Gutenberg, include the original authors name first, uploaders name/ID second and mark which is which in parenthesis, then the date of original publication if you can find it, followed by the date it was uploaded to the site.

If you are referencing a film/TV episode, use the name of the director and include (Dir) next to their name.

If you can't find a date of publication/upload then write DNA instead.

Always put your references at the back of your grimoire. If your grimoire contains multiple chapters, group them by each chapter and then organise either alphabetically or chronologically. If your in-text citation uses numbers, organise your reference list chronologically. If you're using a mini reference, organise your reference list alphabetically.

This last bit is especially important for practitioners who intend to publish their work. Please please please do not skip referencing! I've read so many traditionally published witchcraft books who's authors don't do this or do it half-assed and I can't stand it.

Readers deserve to know where your information is coming from so they can be the judge on whether or not it's appropriate for them to practice themselves. Not doing so creates a cycle of ignorance among readers and new practitioners that encourages the spread of cultural appropriation, poor media literacy and poor historical and scientific understanding. Always cite your sources.
