Ancestral Celt Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Pagan-related rather than witchy related, but I'm reading: "Britain BC" by Francis Pryor;"The Voyage of Bran" as translated by Keno Meyer; and"Cunning Folk and Familiar Spirits: Shamanistic Visionary Traditions in Early Modern British Witchcraft and Magic" by Emma Wilby. I flick between books. :sickwitch: When one gets boring, I move on to the next. Eventually, they are read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I"m not reading anything at the moment per se, well I am thumbing through a friends introductory package from the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids...and am not really getting into them at all. I do have an old Newfoundland Superstitions book I keep reading from time to time. If anyone's interested I'll type some stuff out and post..

Ancestral Celt Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 The first book is from a television series that was aired in the UK. I will be reading the sequel, Britain AD next. The second is a translation of OI texts from a long list provided to me that I am working my way through. The last was one I found on an academic site relating to Cunningcraft, the link to which I posted in the newly formed links section. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leigh Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Just finished "Whitethorn Woods" by Maeve Binchy. Currently reading "Dead Beat" by Jim Butcher (Book 7 of the Dresden Files). Have a relatively small but healthy TBR pile still packed away in the other room (waiting for shelves to magically appear so they can spread out and take over the world-- erm, apartment) but can't remember what all is in there -- some reference/informational, but mostly novels. I don't usually take on more than one book at a time, but I burn through them pretty quick. Library cards are our friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soap fairy Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Hate to say it but at the mo, my list is 'Obsidian Butterfly' {an anita blake book}Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell and.....wait for it... Magic for the aquarian age , a contemporary textbook of practical magical techniques by Marian Green. I found it in a second hand shop and thought it might be funny..:omg2: it's not.

Guest Landieth Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I'm currently looking through Be Here Now by Dr. Richard Alpert, Ph.D (It's pretty much Opium inspired epiphanies, and takes several times to get what he's saying). And overall, I think it's a good book as a look into a guy's journey to enlightenment. Also, I'm flipping through Animal-Speak by Ted Andrews. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
