xxantuxx Amyane WellThen Well, one book that I have to suggest to all teenage guys (or any age actually) would be Sons of The Goddesse, by Penczak. I really loved this one, some more down to earth information, but actually directed at some of the problems that a guy can run into while learning, that aren't looked at in other books. That's awesome! I've yet to see a book directed at guys. I've only seen ones directed towards feminism and wicca. i see alot about those and like dianaism... or whatever that is... I think its because the authors are female so they tend to direct it to the female side of wicca...Cunningham doesn't really driect his stuff...now that i think about none of the male authors direct there stuff normally

No real facts backing this up, so feel free to prove me wrong) so the need to address the male public was never really seen.

Acctually as far as ive read and stuff mainly females were witches charged as being a witch and more females go public with being wiccan/pagan... not a lot of males admit it

If i had to suppose something though, it'd be most guys wouldn't feel comfortable if people knew they were a "witch" being that people think only girls can be witches. If that's why, well, bloody ignorance.

If that's why, well, bloody ignorance. lol yeah i don't know why that would be... i mean in the past the males always got more of the attention really so you would think that a male wiccan/paggan would have it easy to just get up and say it but females get more attention in this one area really so i guess Cunnigham would have to be the lead male author for wiccan books

I definitely agree on Cunningham being the primary male author, 'cause, honestly, who hasn't heard of Solitary? I'm not joking, I've never actually met someone who hasn't heard of it.
Well, hopefully more guys can get over the fear of people believing them to be "gay" or whatever they afraid of and just be willing to voice who they are.

I just finished "The Wiccan Warrior" by Kerr Cuhulain. It's quite interesting. It looks at the Warrior aspect of ourselves, something not done by other authors. It's more an intermidiate book though, being that it assumes you know the basics. It went through ways to incorporate the Warrior in rituals, an example of a initiation, the way of life of a Warrior amongst other things. Very straight forward, down to earth explanations and examples. I suggest this to anyone interested in the Warrior, or even just for information.

My favorite 'present day' author would have to be Scott Cunningham (Wiccan) and Ted Andrews ((Native American Shamanism)) I myself am of the Bohemian Gypsy Trade and Native American Shamanism culture; not wiccan.
But, the best beginners books I've found for starting wicca are Green Witchcraft I, Green Witchcraft II (Balancing light and shadow), and Green Witchcraft III(the manual); by Ann Moura. She lays out nice basics and a wonderful foundation of fundamentals for the pagan, wiccan, eclectic, etc. She lay down good morals, has solid knowledge; and explains in an easy to understand first hand view point.
I don't particularly care for $ilver Ravenwolf ::cough:: But if you can manage to sift through some of the ((how to put this nicely)) . . . less then stellar . . .::cough:: parts of her books. Hidden amonst the . . . crap; she has a few good points for beginners. As long as one knows not to take EVERYTHING they read into context and base their life off it, she's ok for beginners. I dont' recommend her for anything above absolute novice beginner though

I don't remember the title((I'll have to ask my step-mom if i can read it again))but there was this book I read a couple years back and it was directed mostly at young teenage wicans. I have to read it again before I give more details but it's about this girl who takes on Wican training from an older woman and learns almost everything she needs to know about the religion. Her mother and grandmother are wicans and when her teacher dies they teach her how to communicate with her on Halloween. ((What's that holiday's real name?))

Has anyone read "Witchcraft: Theory and Practice" by Ly De Angeles...some australian author i think. I found that book really good and useful with loads of things.
Though, It does get a bit wordy and philosophical...but I liked it. Would recomend it as it has some good chapters on techniques, theories, and the human nature...very interesting.
Also..."Voodoo Rituals" by Heike Owusu, tells Voodoo how it is: and gives a load of practical techniques on meditation, visulalisation etc. Another of my faves.
