ok i hope most off you know why im here with you.
if some off you dont see my profile.

all the info i seemed to find is way over my head.

all the books and parths make me full even more down.

dont we have a book like pagans for dummes that is so simple even i can get started on the right parth my hart tills me no love nature and all about her.

we have to find away of stoping all the killings of in the name of pece and all mankind to give up the call to arms lets stop fighting ourselves and start a bigger fight to save our plant and our home and if we dont mother nature may strick again and next time who nows how bad the next one will be and the way we are going it want be long.

i hope this makes sence as i took a sleeping pill before i started.
my love to you all.

Well there is a 'complete idiots guide to paganism' out there but as you can see from the thread on So lifestyles, paganism and sex it might not be the most well researched book around.

There is also, apparantly, 'Paganism for Dummies' but I can't find it on Amazon. However I did browse through 'Wicca and witchcraft for Dummies' and found it less than accurate.

Your best bet is to read everything and discard most.


The best guide is that if the majority of sources agree, the 'true' history books agree, there are practical and understood reasons behind it and it feels right for you, then its probably halfway to being the right thing to do - not easy but then if a religion/faith/spiritual path is easy is it worth following?

Hi Shane..

There are numerous very good beginner books out there, I got much out of the following two books when I started my own meanderings 9 years ago..

Principles of Paganism - Vivianne Crowley
Principles of Wicca - Vivianne Crowley

They are both very easy to read and understand..

Sadly there is no one book, what you're looking for is within you and you need, as Cos says, to read much and discard most to find it. Interaction with others is also helpful so here and other forums is a good place to start. If it's your thing, look around for moots in your area too. Never be afraid to disagree with something you learn, if it's not for you it doesn't matter in the least that it's right for lots of others.
