Witch Alone : Thirteen Moons to Master Natural Magic
by Marian Green

Written for serious practitioners, Marian Green's Witch Alone: Thirteen Moons to Master Natural Magic guides those who wish to learn the "old religion" without the aid of a coven. Densely written in a serious tone, Witch Alone is nonetheless an inspiring and poetic read. Exercises at the end of each chapter are designed to take a full 28 nights to accomplish, and are designed to progressively lead one down the path to success. Worshippers of the goddess and those interested in exploring the deeper aspects of their own souls will find this tome deeply informative, but for the neo-pagan committed to learning solitary witchcraft, Witch Alone is a must-read. --P. Randall Cohan

Wiccan Magick : Inner Teachings of the Craft
by Raven Grimassi

Raven Grimassi talks about why magick works, as well as how to do it right. He focuses on the mystery tradition of witchcraft, digging into the earliest roots of this ancient religion. Wiccan Magick covers a lot of ground in a short book, and in the hands of a less competent author could have become a mere glossary of the subject, but Grimassi does a wonderful job of fitting the pieces together into a remarkably detailed whole, working from general concepts like the history of witchcraft to specifics like the inherent magical properties of herbs and crystals, and finally delving into the primal forces that empower ritual magic. What Grimassi has created isn't necessarily a handbook to be memorized, but a book that helps revitalize the spiritual forces behind Wiccan rituals through a better understanding of the fundamentals of the tradition. --Brian Patterson (amazon)
