Everything Under the Moon

What books did you order?

Among Craft books I've held on to over 40+ years are M. Medici's Good Magic which is not Wiccan yet is my personal favorite. Treading the Mill by Nigel Pearson as a good cross-over between Wicca & Trad-Craft, and Lady Sheba’s Grimoire by Jessie Belle.

My life affirming books are Heidi - by Johanna Spyrii as the author originally wrote it, not the wiped, secular version and Communion by Whitley Streiber. Both have had a valuable impact on my life.

The book I reference most often is probably my copy of The Orphic Hymns (Athanassakis translation). I also pick up Greek Folk Religion (Martin P. Nilsson), and Festivals of the Athenians (H. W. Parke) very often. On the side of things dealing more with witchcraft The Resurrection of the Meadow (Robin Artisson), To Fly By Night (Veronica Cummer), and quite a bit of Cochrane's writings have influenced my path a good bit.
