I love books.(Maybe you do, too.)
I'm often asked which books I recommend (besides mine, of course).
My answer varies depending on the topic and whether you're fully into "magic mode" or just dipping in.
I literally have hundreds of books. But here are some of my current favorites broken down by category.
P.S. I don't "identify" as a witch, wiccan, or pagan. But I strongly believe in our ability to reweave our fate through our own personal and beautiful magic.
