Those are both good. One of my all time favorites was Cunningham’s Solitary Wicca

Hi
@dogsnwolfs, thanks for the recommendation on Middle Aged Witch podcasts,
I have been looking for some good ones, and the ones I’ve found so far, I didn’t particularly jell with.
However, after downloading the latest Middle Aged Witch, I decided I like her, and have downloaded all the others.
I would appreciate any other podcasts that anybody knows about that are good.
Thanks.

I love this reply
I am not a beginner but well set in it and I have just coined a topic about negativity clearance in communication please do share your opinions under that’s thread looking for what to hear from you
I am not sure where I would start today because there is so much nonsense out there leading young people to their doom. My son was interested and instead of coming to me, he went online and they were telling him, do what he wants and don’t worry about the consequences, the Goddess will protect him. I was extremely upset. The Goddess herself says, Ever mind the powers of three what you put out will come back to thee. This is not a line from Charmed, one of my favorite shows. I have about a 1000 books on witchcraft and I brought some he chose to read. He was scare to read some of them. He was not ready. He said holding the book gave him a headache. Read, read and read some more. Considering that politics have gotten into the old relgion, I am not sure I would even join a coven, unless the talk of politics was not allowed. The internet is so full of craziness, it ain’t funny, so ask the Goddess and she will guide you the right way. I studied witchcraft and black magic, which seem to hold hands at times. The meaning of Black Magick I was taught is to cast a spell someone without their premission, even reading tarot without asking. I belong to a old coven, Gardnerian Witchcraft and then the Golden Dawn, which believed the same thing. I don’t think I believe that in some circumstances. This was back in the mid 70s. Let you Goddess be your guide and NOT your Heart. People have came to me for help, lied to me and I almost paid for it, but I knew how to prevent the backlash. Sybil Leek’s Diary of a Witch can enlighten you. Denning and Philips, Psychic Self-Defense is a great book too. Beginning Witches, definitely Scott Cunningham and I liked Silver Ravenwolf’s Teen Witch. It was fantastic to me. Don’t let people contol you on what you read. I have read some really awful books on witchcraft, but I did learn something. Not all people who claim ot be witches, are witches. Try to find the old masters of witchcraft. I call them. Like Frost, Farrar, Buckland, Leek. If you have an OLLIES in your town, go there. I have gotten seveal series of book on Witchcraft there for my huge collection. I tell many people to come and study, but they prefer to take my books…not happening. Check out Goodwill and Thrift store. I found the Encyclopedia of Witchcraft by Judika ILLes there, which I know her and got her autograph. Great books. I also got Encyclopedia of 5000 spells. There is a store on Raleigh, NC called Readers Corner that always have books on Witchcraft, if you live near it or ever visit there. You can get CDS on witchcraft on ebay. I have about six of them, I put them on a flash drive and carry it on my keychain. On facebook they have an ad on Lost Books. I have several. It is a legit thing. This is how I learned. I am not sure about joining a coven anymore, since I have seen some really messed up things Witches are claiming they have done and bragging about it, not considering the consequences of their actions. Which is a no-no in the Wiccan Way, but learning from you mistakes is part of growing from a baby witch to an Wise adult, whether you a Wicce or Wicca. Wicce…female witch. Wicca…male witch in old english. Above all esle, listen to the Goddess and let her guide you. If you have not chosen your Gods yet, there are many. My son chose Asia God and Goddess, since he was always dreaming of Foxes. My Goddesses Hecate and Cerridwen chose me. Hecate came to me at the age of 13, it was scary, she said who she was and said I belonged to her. She was like a shadow with red eyes. I called her Katie, because I pronounced her name like He-cate. I learned at a later age it was pronounced He-ca-te from reading Greek and Roman literature. I was a sick child and I was reading Celtic Magic by McCoy and was interested in the Cerridwen Cauldon of Healing. I used to speak Gaelic, but not anymore. Tuatha de Denaan. I did an Cerridwen invocation ritual, had a dream of bathing in a pond of golden water. I was suppose to be in a wheelchair by the time I was 40 because of a swinging accident. I was drug acrose the ground and tore up my spine. Today I am 62 and I can run to my mailbox and ride my bike with my son. If you have any animal drawn to you, study that animal and see if they represent any God or Goddess. Apollo is my Lord. I discovered that by my body being different when the sun shone and when it was cloudy. I would get sick, so I started carry a representation of Apollo in my pocket and on a chain. As they say, KNOW Thyself. Be in tune with your surrounding. That does include you mental and emotionally state. I question my sanity everyday. Thing happen in my house, it has gotten so bad, that I got security and camera. Lets hope it will not be a scene from Paranormal Activity. Most of all have fun with it. My parent used to have to drag me to church. I did not want to go. If you find yourself dreading to do God or Goddess ritual. Re-evaluate yourself. I have an outdoor circle and I can barely wait until it gets warmer so I can go back out there. I LOVE to do my rituals and appreciate everything they have done for me. Witchcraft is amazing. Oh yeah I am not knocking Christianity either. WE all know that Jesus studied magic. I don’t care for most people in Christianity, because of their judgement, but if Jesus knock on my door I would let him in. I would love to get is secret on turning water into wine. I would be very popular at parties. LMAO!!!
