Welcome to UK Pagan

Good luck.

If you are interested in a simple layout of solo witchcraft try Marion Green's Witch Alone.  Real 101 but not afraid to use the appropriate language.  Some cheap second hand copies plus Kindle.

You talk of respect well, unlike several "Intro to Wicca" books that I know of, Green's book does not contain any oathbound material. 

I am not Wiccan and I know that much of the oathbound material is available on the web anyway but I would never reference it, never mind use it. 

Travel well.

I’m just starting to learn, I want to read and learn before I say I’m solitary or join a coven. I think In order show respect I need to learn and not just jump in the deep end. I am looking at witchcraft, and Wicca so far.

Im away for the weekend and will take Triumph of the Moon with me 😁

Bloody Hell Freydis!!!!!!     🙂

CC book an appointment with your optician.  It looks like an average paperback until you open it then you realise you've bought a tome.  It's written in a tiny font.

Freydis and I are two of the few people who own this book and who have read it cover to cover.  There must be thousands of part read copies out there.

Also - it is very little to do with Wiccan practice.  It is an academic search through the pages of history in an attempt to find British witches.  While he didn't find any until the 1950's when he did find them he loved them.

Are you looking for Wiccan practice?

Are you in a coven or solo? 

Thank you, I’ve purchased triumph of the moon 

Re Llewellyn my recommendation would be to teat with caution.  There's the odd good thing there, but an awful lot of rubbish along with it.

Regarding Wicca and Witchcraft, I am not the person to answer.  Regarding Llewellyn, I've seen similar comments here and elsewhere, but can neither confirm or deny the value(lessness) of that publisher.

However, don't underestimate the use of imaginative fiction.  Some interesting ideas can be hidden in the meanderings of the minds of possibly unsuspecting authors - and maybe better for being more spontaneous than writers setting out to account for beliefs and practices..

I had read on here that Llewllyn is a publisher that you should avoid. Although I’m going to purchase Thorn Mooney’s book tomorrow. 

I was thinking about Witchcraft and Wiccan books. Although I am partial to Greek Mythology 😁
