Reddit mentions of True Magick: 2nd Edition

True Magic: A beginners Guide by Amber K: Llewellyn Publications, is probably still the best easy to read beginner book out there. There are many used copies available for not much.

True Magic, a Beginner's Guide is probably the most popular beginner book ever. Its small, easy reading, and the used copies are now very inexpensive.

But here is the advice I give teens. The underlying meaning of "witchcraft" is the trade or practice of being wise. The village witch is always someone who knows more than others. For a young person of scohlol age you need to spend your time learning all the school topics in great depth. Study everything you can of literature, mathematics, science, philosophy, biology, etc. You have a once in a lifetime opportunity to study in school rather than working a job. Become the most knowledgeable person you know. Become the wise one. Read at least 2 books per week in addition to your school work. When you graduate from school you will have plenty of time to learn the rest of witchcraft.

I have found Amber K's True Magick invaluable. Books on herbology would probably also suit you well, as it can't hurt to be a green witch growing medically viable herbs as part of your practice. If you have any other questions, I'm never far from reddit, so PM me. c: I'd be glad to help.
