Recommended Reading for Seekers
Please note that these books have been found to be useful to the learning of a seeker. Not all of them are
'historically accurate' nor are all of them oriented towards Traditional Wicca, but the books below have
been helpful in a variety of ways to both my students and myself. As always, don't believe everything you
read as fact and put to use further research as you feel called. I do not put a book on this list unless I
have read it, or it comes highly recommended to me.
Now you can download PDF copies of the underlined books from our website. You will need Acrobat
Reader which can be downloaded for free. Just click the 'A' icon.
