Mother Wit, a Guide to Healing & Psychic...	A wonderful little primer for the very basics of energy direction. Loads of practical exercises. If you're just starting out, this book is a must have. ~ Tau
Power of the Witch	An easy breakdown on spellwork. Contains good spells, although substitutions are often called for. Has a nice 'scientific' spin without all of the religious overtones. ~ Tau
Earth Power : Techniques of Natural Magic	This book has a great introduction to magic. It's not really a book on elemental magic, but it's simple magic, or folk magic, discussed based on what element it falls in line with. I feel that it's sequel Earth Air Fire Water is not worth purchase if you have this book. This is the better of the two, but if you get a chance to read Earth Air Fire Water, go for it. ~ Ravenshadow
Northern Magic : Rune Mysteries &...	This book discusses the reconstruction of Norse religion known as Asatru. It briefly discusses the religion and it's ideas and ritual. Then it goes into a lengthy discussion of Galdrcraft or Norse magic involving runes and symbols. It then touches o Seidrcraft or Norse Shamanism, the Vanic cult of the Norse religion. It also goes into the use of Hexcraft, or operant Hexology. The book then discusses the history of western occultism from a Germanic perspective. It's quiet informative as far as paganism and magic goes, and it's easy to understand. ~ Ravenshadow
Angel Magic : The Ancient Art of...	This book discusses Angel magic briefly, and then it discusses the history of it's practice and some of it's major practitioners. I'm not entirely sure as to it's accuracy but it's an interesting an easy read and it's a good starting point for further research if you become interested in the system, if you don't become interested in it, you'll at least have a good familiarity with the major people involved in the system. The book focuses on John Dee, the man to whom Enochian magic was revealed. ~ Ravenshadow
The Middle Pillar : The Balance Between...	my poor battered copy of this has had alot of use over the years. I consider it a basic for understanding the ritual of the LBRP and the Middle Pillar exercise. I appreciated the chapter on psychology and magic, as Regardie thought that psychology and magic were two halves of the same coin. Self-knowledge and self-acceptance are key in successful magicians. In any case, I consider this to be a good foundation book. ~ Jenzimatic
Charms, Spells, and Formulas	This book deals with a very Catholic form of New Orleans' Hoodoo. Even if you're not into Hoodoo or Catholicism, it gives you an idea of how to work magic with various gods, and it gives a very useful ceremonial presentation of many basic techniques in folk magic. It's filled with recipes and explains making Gris-Gris (mojo bags); Dolls; Inscense; Oils; and Powers. ~ Ravenshadow
The Modern Witch's Spellbook, Book II :...	This and the others in the series are great for the Beginner. It outlines many many practical spells which can be operated at low cost and with ease. I had much success with this book in my early years. ~ El Santo Diablo
The Complete Book of Spells, Curses and...	See notation below ~ Pigasus
The Complete Book of Magic and Witchcraft	This and the former book are good for their listing of varieties of approaches, taken from authentic sources. ~ Pigasus
Your Sixth Sense: Unlocking the Power of...	A well written book on the mechanics of psychic ability, complete with exercises for developing your own innate gifts. ~ Tau
Psychic Self-Defense	It's one of those good reads. Actually, psychic attacks are pretty rare, however, it's best to understand these things. Some of Fortune's writings might sound a bit hokey in this day and age, but I have to agree with her that psychic trouble arises "owing to the formation of undesirable rapport" Putting that in my own words, there's very few among us that hasn't been burned. Complete strangers are of little risk, but intimates might be. Again, this is good advice to pick and choose your associates WISELY. ~ Jenzimatic
Saint Germain on Alchemy: For the Adept...	Though more transcendental alchemy rather than physical, there are some excellent excercises involving the exploration of the Aether that I've found very usefull. ~ El Santo Diablo
The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide	This is perhaps my most highly recommended book on this list. It is a great journey through improbability. A thorough understanding on im/probability and il/logic are essential when undertaking a magickal paradigm in my opinion. ~ El Santo Diablo
The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings...	These works are an excellent example of a self-made paradigm system wherein you find religion, Gods and Magick. I reccomend this book more as insight into creating ones own belief system rather than relying on the beliefs of men long dead. ~ El Santo Diablo
Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition Player's... D&D Dungeon Master's Guide... D&D Monster Manual...	See Above. And further, the religious/magickal systems in AD&D are readily adaptable to anyone who would take a leap of faith and put the whole of their beliefs towards manifesting Gods and powers of a fantastical nature. ~ El Santo Diablo
One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish	Magic seen through a child's eyes ~ Pigasus I recommend Any and All Seuss books on their pure silly-factor. The more irrational you can bring yourself to be, the better you will be able to defeat the laws of logic. ~ El Santo Diablo
