Witchcraft and Paganism

David Conway
Ritual Magic: an Occult primer
New York: EP Dutton, 1972

An excellent resource for the budding occultist. Everything you ever needed to know, and written in a free and humorous style. Not about the Craft as such, but a real Witch would never worry about that!

Dolores Ashcroft-Nowicki
The shining paths: an experiential journey through the Tree of Life
London: Aquarian Press, 1983

This book gives a series of Pathworkings (or guided meditations) on the Qabalistic Tree of Life. Again, not really the Craft, but the Qabalah is the foundation for most Western Occult paths and should be a matter of study for any serious Witch.

Dion Fortune
The Mystical Qabalah
London: Aquarian Press, 1935

If you are interested in the Qabalah, then Dion is most definitely your Lady. Be warned: this is not for the faint hearted or intellectually challenged; but stick with it and the Light will dawn, good and clear.

Z'ev ben Shimon Halevi
The work of the Kabbalist
Red Wheel/Weiser, 1993

An excellent book that gives good practical advice on the work of the Kabbalist. More a work on the concepts of enlightenment through the Kabbalistic system than an instruction book on the practice of ritual - but it does include some excellent meditations. Well worth reading.

Of course, if you really want to go to town, you could wade through the "Complete Golden Dawn", or Crowley's (that's Aleister, not Vivianne..) "Magick in Theory and Practice"... but then you'd also need to get a copy of his "The Law" too, and flick through "Liber 777"; then there's also Regardie's "Ceremonial Magick", or Waite's "Book of Ceremonial Magick"; or you could risk life, limb and sanity and read Schueler's "Enochian Magick"....

If you wish to risk it, several of these titles are available from Amazon.co.uk from here:
Regardie, Isreal: "the Complete Golden Dawn" (Llewelyn 1988)
Aleister Crowley: "Liber 777"
