So, I've been a Brighid devotee for a few years and love learning new things about Her and therefore read anything that mentions Her that I can. Well, yesterday, while visiting my local new age shop, I found a book entitled The Goddess Path by Monaghan that had entire chapter on Her. Said chapter shared this myth about "Saint Bridget". (I put Saint ( Read more... )

As you can probably tell, I'm new to this community. So, hello! I've been studying (to the best of my ability) since April, but with only the internet I've only learned the very, very basics of Witchcraft. I haven't started my Year and a Day and I'm not planning to for a little while yet ( Read more... )

What do the poeple in this community think of the book "The New Book of Magical Names" by Phoenix McFarland?

It's the first book about magical names that I've come across and I'm wondering if it's good or not. Good as in accurate :) It's a Llwellyn book so that made me a little leery...

Any comments appreciated :) Thanks!!

... what kind of folklore or Pagan topics would you want to read?

For NaNoWriMo this year, I'm going to be writing a series of children's books about Paganism, adapted for that age group. I'm looking for some inspiration, so if you have suggestions as to what kinds of topics, god/desses, folklore, and so forth that you think you or your kids would ( Read more... )

I ran across a few interesting looking books over the weekend at the local discount book sellers and I was wondering what your opinions on them were. They are:

1-Moon Magick by DJ Conway

2-Faery Teachings by Orion Foxwood

I've never read anything by either of these authors but the books both caught my fancy. So what do the people of this community ( Read more... )

I'm trying to thin out my collection of Wicca books because I have way too many (and I need some cash like whoa right now), and I have a lot of things I haven't read yet. So I'm wondering, are there any authors/books you would consider to be pretty much hacks? (I already know the whole deal with Silver RavenWolf so we don't have to go through all ( Read more... )
