Reddit mentions of Green Witchcraft: Folk Magic, Fairy Lore & Herb Craft (Green Witchcraft Series (1))

I have not read this particular book yet, but I believe Ann Moura is considered to be the best author of books about green witchcraft. I can attest that her Green Witchcraft: Folk Magic, Fairy Lore & Herb Craft is excellent.

Hi! I was sent over from the regular sub. I might be able to help!

One of my favourite and most referenced books is actually The Complete Idiot's Guide to Witchcraft & Wicca. It has a lot of great general information in it. Another one I really liked was Green Witchcraft, which is the first book in a set of three. I haven't read the second two, but this one has really great history. The author goes into some of her own history, her grandmother was Catholic and also a practicing pagan, which I think is relevant to to the ex-mo community.

These are both very basic books, and most intro/beginner books will be similar to this. An important thing to understand if you're going to read about paganism, is that witchcraft is a practice, wicca is a religion, and paganism is an umbrella term that encompasses many different religions and traditions. To be a witch one does not need to be wiccan, and nor do they need to believe in a deity (though most do, I am an atheist, however).

Another book that I have been lusting after is Energy Essentials for Witches and Spellcasters. I have perused a friends copy and I absolutely love everything I have read from this book. A huge part of rituals, in both pagan faiths and Christianity, is energy. If you are interested in that aspect, I highly suggest this one.

I hope this helps. :)
