Zsuzsanna – While I support the feminist pagan movement, and am a female myself, when I wrote this article I was looking at the books that I felt provided authentic and useful information to my readers. I don’t base what books/works I recommend off of the gender of who wrote them but off of whether or not they are GOOD books. I am humbled that you’ve taken the time to express your thoughts/concerns here.

In reply to Blake Hall. The Secret Teachings of All Ages is one of all time favorite books. Also there are a couple of other books that are written by Edain McCoy that are excellent books. "Celtic Myth and Magick" and "Celtic Women's Spirituality". Edain McCoy might have crossed over but she left a legacy of teachings behind in her books. Excellent. Your whole home becomes a magickal place practicing her magick from her books, lol.

There are only 3 women ,mentioned in this “recommendation” . Unbelievable! Paganism was always a special domain, the Goddess was welcome here. But somehow SEXISM is so deep, we don’t even notice how deeply we resent promoting female writers.
When i came into the pagan scene I was seen as a intruder because i promoted witchcraft as a deeply Feminist Craft. Some even thought that I made up Women’s Mysteries! While i like the compliment ,the truth is I have revived it. Being a genetic witch with deep roots in herbalism i also claimed the Goddess to be every woman alive, which makes the Goddess the essence of all existence. Apparently these recommendations go back, way back ,before women were part of paganism. Now we are the majority. Still ignored.

OK my friend, you know I can’t help but put my two cents in. There are so many books that could be recommended, but I do see that you have weeded out some of the typical Wiccan fluff and tried to concentrate on more serious minded works. Even so, I did find perhaps three books that I might recommend that were not listed, only because they are each useful for the learned, yet growing practioner.
1. Wicca : A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner by Scott Cunningham
2. The New Magus by Donald Tyson
3. The Secret Teachings of All Ages by Manly P. Hall
Only a suggestion or three,. I apologize if they were all male authors. That was incidental not intentional. You have already chosen works by so many qualified wise women already, plus Scott C. in particular I feel is almost a prophet among writers from the American Wicca revivals of the last century. Keep the Faith KTD my honeybee. And always, Blessed be to thee. Blake4D

[…] like to read. Because many of us are solitary practitioners, we learn much of our craft from books and online resources so reading is a MUST. Not to mention, many witches are bibliophiles and simply […]

In reply to Jeannie.

Jeannie – I don’t know of a specific planner published now, but I am working on a pagan workbook that’s similar to what you’re requesting. Are you in the Otherworldly Oracle FaceBook group? I’m keeping the group updated with the progress, if you’d like to join.
