About Recommended Books


Important Notice:

Residents of most Islamic countires, some African countries, and some Roman Catholic countries should be aware that if witchcraft is illegal in your country, the importation of books about witchcraft or Tarot cards can be an extremely serious offence! We do not wish anyone harmed. Become aware of what is legal in your nation and act accordingly.

Avoid Twaddle Books on Witchcraft

Unfortunately, it's easy for an unsuspecting reader to get hoodwinked while trying to read about witchcraft. Being hoodwinked is what happens when you read a book that states it's about "witchcraft" when in reality the book is about Wicca.

Wicca and Traditional Witchcraft (Trad Witchcraft), are not the same thing! Certain popular Wiccan authors have truly strange ideas and provide blatantly erroneous information. No wonder so many new Wiccans are so poorly informed, and why so many wanting to read about witchcraft end up very confused. It is best to avoid books about Wicca.

My Selection of Books

The reader should be aware there are very few books available that deal directly with the older ideas in Traditionalist British Witchcraft. But there are some that are acceptable. These are the books that found their way onto my list of recommended books on Witchcraft in The Book Store.

Unfortunately, there are certain books on Traditional Witchcraft that are poorly written and difficult to understand. In fact, there are several fairly well-known books that fit this category that are especially archaic and incomplete.

I refuse to mention them by name much less recommend them.

Advice on Tarot Decks & Books on Tarot

For those just starting, your first Tarot deck and reference book are important selections to make. A clear basic deck that is rich in symbolism and very traditional is the smart way to go. That means it should be a Rider-Waite based deck. One advantage to this deck is the rich symbolism.

You should then get a book that describes the cards that uses the same deck as you purchased. Most decks come with a booklet or book that describes the meaning of individual cards. Use this as your main reference. However, booklets tend to be too brief. Sometimes you need to buy an additional book separately.

To begin with, buy no more than two books. One should be based on the design of the cards you select and purchase. Many Tarot card guide books are based on the Rider-Waite deck. But always check to be sure.
