Everything below are things I’ve read, enjoyed, and have influenced my practice in some way. Enjoy! :D I’ve also include some comments about most of them

BOOKS

• Mastering Witchcraft by Paul Huson: written in the 1970s, Paul Hudson is a huge influence to many traditional witches
  
• Authentic Witchcraft by Grayson Magnus: great, non religious, traditional witchcraft book. Definitely not not neowiccan. The author has many opinions about neowicca. They don’t pop up much, but heads up
  
• The Secret Commonwealth of Elves, Fauns and Fairies by The Reverend Robert Kirk: fab fab fab- I would suggest getting a modern translation of the book. It doe suffer from the misogyny of the time, then again it was written in the 17th century
  
• Aradia, or the Gospel of the Witches by Charles Godfrey Leland: should be taken as a fictional source, but really nice read
  
• The Witch-Cult in Western Europe by Margaret Alice Murray: Controversial book for a good reason. Margaret’s theories have long been discredited, but her information and sources are lovely and worth the read
  
• Ancient legends mystic charms and superstitions of Ireland by Lady Wilde: My favorite book! Great look into Irish witchcraft and the practice of the fairy doctors. Heads up, certain spells and charms use poisonous ingredients without stating as such. Do research before trying any of the charms and spells 
  
• Traditions and Hearthside Stories of West Cornwall by William Bottrell: Cornwall is known for their witchcraft for a reason, enough said
  
• Irish Witchcraft and Demonology by St. John D. Seymour: great read has some really interesting stories 
  
• The Book of English Magic by Philip Carr-Gomm & Richard Heygate: lots of different information 
  
• Crone’s book of Magical words; Crone’s Book of Charms and Spells  by Valerie Worth: Some of my favorite books :D 
  
• Traditional Witchcraft series by Melusine Draco: Good, short, cheap books that have a lot of nice content
  
• Judika Illes’ books: Great great great~ Lots of info, various stuff, awesome spell books
• Drawing Down the Moon: Witches, Druids, Goddess-Worshippers, and Other Pagans in America by Margot Adler: Not necessarily witchcraft, but it talks about witchcraft and its relation with wicca, and why the two differ 
  
• Pagan Portals - Fairy Witchcraft: A Neopagan’s Guide to the Celtic Fairy Faith  by Morgan Daimler: a bit general and more neopaganism (hence the title), but worth the read, especially if fairies are part of your practice
  
• Pennsylvania German witchcraft by Ann Frizz: Some nice, non-european focused witchcraft
  
• Grimoire of Arts Bryan Lovering: HUGE, lots of things, though some of them a bit questionable? Worth the read
  
• Master book of candle burning Henry Gamache: Great non-wiccan influenced candle magic, though the author is anti-pagan
• The Devil’s Dozen Thirteen Craft Rites of The Old One by Gemma Gary: A fantastic book full of Cornish inspired rituals. A+ book of rituals
  
• Apocalyptic Witchcraft by Peter Grey: Fantastic. It talks about the nature and reasons behind witchcraft, and does not show any fear in this.
  
• Serpent Songs: A book with various different articles written by different authors 
  
• Wisht WatersAqueous Magica and the Cult of Holy Wells by Gemma Gary: Good stuff. All about the Sacred well cult, and has some amazing things about witches and sacred water 
  
• Call of the Horned Piper by  Nigel Jackson: Lots of information and lore in traditional witchcraft. Great information on the Fairy Queen and the Witch Father
• The Book of Grimoires: The Secret Grammar of Magic by Claude Lecouteux: Lots of magical talk. Not all witchcraft, but a great book
  
• Hedge-Rider: Witches and the Underworld by Eric De Vries: Talks about witches, flying, and the otherworld
  
• Treading the Mill: Practical Craft Working in Modern Traditional Witchcraft by Nigel G. Pearson: Another book talking about hedge riding and otherworld stuff
• A Deed without a Name by Lee Morgan: A book that covers a large amount of topics in traditional witchcraft. A rather good for both those starting traditional witchcraft and those that have been practicing for a while. 
• The Sisters Grimmoire: Spells and Charms for your Happily Ever After by  Bree NicGarran  and Anna Beylenn: This has a variety of spells and charms. 
  
• Hands of Apostasy- Essays on Traditional Witchcraft: It has a large variety of different essays written by different authors. Has some really neat information, especially about American witchcraft. 
  
• The Key of Solomon The King and  The Lesser Key of Solomon
• Traditional Witchcraft: A Cornish Book of Ways by Gemma Gary: Has a large focus on witchcraft practices from the British Isles. Some nice info
•  Flame in the Cauldron by Orion Foxwood: Some good stuff! Covers a lot of topics and even talks about the witchfire. 
  
• Old Tradition Crafte - (translated by) Robin Artisan: Lots of really neat stuff from old grimoires and witch journals
