Nice list of resources. Been 10 years since I practiced Wicca. Many of those books I don't recognize. I'm skeptical of the newer publications cause I've heard publishers allow any kook to publish a book. However I still consider myself Pagan to this day.
To the original poster. Just wanted to add and underline the point, that if your coming into this path with the idea of magic then this isn't the path for you.
Magic will only bring what you need, not what you want. But besides that, Wicca is about spiritual growth and respect for nature and the cycles of life.
I haven't casted a spell in years. Because I haven't the need. Magic is a last resort. Many mundane problems have very mundane solutions. You can't solve every problem with magic and expect to get the results you were expecting or wanted. Much responsibility comes with magic.
I'm not saying you should avoid doing LBRs daily, if thats what you wish. Cleansing is always a good idea. But just before doing any spell you must consider the possible outcome of your spells. Your words and intent must be clearly defined.
I only offer this warning so that newcomers like yourself understand the dangers involved. I've heard stories of those who've been hurt because of not thinking things thru. Thats were Divination becomes a useful tool.
Study the spiritual side of Wicca. Magic is only a small part of the religion so don't get caught up reading tons of books on casting spells. I found the religion itself and the reasons behind each ritual far more interesting.
