Many people ask about where to start with reading when interested in Paganism. It is important to do research on any author. Don’t discount the power of the “Dummy” books. They are informative and can easily cover various topics within paganism for some insight on the spiritual practices.

Unfortunately we have some pretty bad authors floating around.  Below is a list of books that I have in my personal library that I highly recommend. If you have any suggestions for books for me, please email me at angelapippinger@gmail.com.
