Lyra Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Hello everyone. So, at the risk of irritating all the not so fluffy witches around... There is a list of recommended books that was posted in a thread, and I have been looking for this list all morning and I can't seem to find it. Can someone point me in the right direction please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phaedra Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Were the books centered around any specific topic, or is it a more general book request list? If you can recall any title that was on the list, that will help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oroboros Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 (edited) Well there is this thread: http://www.traditionalwitch.net/forums/topic/12454-book-help/?hl=%2Brecommended+%2Bbooks&do=findComment&comment=178660 Oh and there is a list in this thread. http://www.traditionalwitch.net/forums/topic/1748-needing-good-books/page-1 Honestly I think I remember a suggested list that I can’t find either, it’s probably buried in the book review section somewhere. Beyond that, what Phaedra said.:) Edited May 19, 2018 by Oroboros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyra Posted May 19, 2018 Author Share Posted May 19, 2018 (edited) Thank you. I think the second link was the one I was looking for. I remember it being in a cooler I can't read ???? It was just a general list, I thought it was hidden somewhere i the starting a traditional path thread...I was pretty sure it was in a thread that had nothing to do with books. But the green list looks familiar. Edited May 19, 2018 by Lyra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oroboros Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 I thought there was one in that thread too. HMM. Anyway, short of all that- I'm sure you have seen the book reviews section. TONS of stuff there. BTW, as to you original post- books aren't fluffy- well some are- but wanting good books isn't fluffy. People who only read and don't practice- that's fluffy. There is also the fact that you learn more by doing than just about any other way. But, one does need a place to start. Also, honestly I think I learned more from reading these forums than any book I have read, and I've read a bunch :).And while I'm dishing random advice you didn't ask for... Books that aren't technically about "witchcraft" are often, well, about witchcraft. Folklore, science, herbalism, animal behaviors- we are trying to understand the threads that move the marionette. HOW you move the threads will come naturally and be very personalized in nature- so books are like the looking at a recipe, and realizing it's a good idea- but you can make it better with your ow ingredients and tweaks. Sorry- been alone all day. Compulsive "talking." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyra Posted May 20, 2018 Author Share Posted May 20, 2018 (edited) Oroboros, I love random advice I didn't ask for. On most subjects at least....I am looking up books I can store on my phone or tablet for work. I have a lot of free time for reading at work but I work in an environment where I can't have certain things visible. My favorite book that actually started me on this path as a child was Michael Jordan's Encyclopedia of Gods. I do keep a few not so witchy books around for reference as well.

Oroboros Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 I think there is a pdf book list around here somewhere, but I'm too tired to find it right now. You have probably already heard of this, but if not- you must check this site out. http://www.sacred-texts.com/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
