Paganism, witchcraft, and Wicca as portrayed on TV, movies, and popular culture. Buffy, the Vampire Slayer, Charmed, Practical Magic, etc. If you know of a good show or movie, you can recommend it here or discuss it with others.
Hi,
Well, so far the best book I've read is Drawing Down the Moon by Margot Adler. Scott Cunningham and D.J. Conway usually write great books too. I absolutley hate Silver RavenWolf. A lot of books these days tend to leave out some of the most important information needed to built a strong foundation as a wiccan/pagan.

DJ Conway? She's...a bit out there. I don't think I can take anything she wrote seriously after reading Dancing With Dragons. I mean...wow, little baby dragons that love to hang on your ears and participate in tarot card readings? Um...sure...

Well...
are you looking for books on Wicca, or on a specific other aspect of paganism? The thing is, "paganism" isn't really *a* religion- it's an umbrella term that can, at least loosely, be applied to most religions outside fo the Abrahamic tradition.
If you're looking for a historical basis of Indo-European pafgan tradition, i could recommend a pretty serious list- though most of it is pretty academic.
If you're looking for Wicca specifically...I'm not the one to ask
I say Wicca/Pagan because Margot Adler covers not only Wicca but other religions or traditions under the umbrella term of Pagan. The full title of the book is "Drawing Down the Moon: Witches, Druids, Goddess Worshippers, and Other Pagans in America Today."
