Hello! My Craft Name is Mara. Ive always had a major interest in witchcraft/wicca/paganism. But always too scared to actually commit to learning and following it. Im finally at the point where I don’t care what others may think about what I do with my life!
Ive tried to learn about it but there is so many different sites/books to get through and can get a little confusing. Im hoping this site helps me have a good foundation and understanding. I want to start following the Wiccan wheel of the year and lean towards more of the green witch path. Im hoping to start a herb garden and have that help me with the craft. I can’t wait to chat and learn more from everyone here!
Well, here are the 3 books I suggest for all newbies,
Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner by Scott Cunningham**a very easy read.
Buckland’s Complete Book of Witchcraft (Affectionately called Buckland’s Big Blue) by Raymond Buckland**this is almost like a workbook, with little exercises at the end of each chapter. This book is a little more in-depth than Scotts book and explains a little about the different Wiccan “denominations” if you will.
A Witches Bible: The Complete Witches’ Handbook by Janet and Stewart Farrar** this is very ritualistic and is Gardnerian Wicca. This explains in-depth the rituals of Wicca.
Take a good look around you will find much information and many different practitioners.
I have a tarot thread, feel free to stop by Tarot Talks June 2026.
