For those speaking english, there is plenty of bibliography on Wicca available either through mail or online ordering, or simply at stores or even direct publisher's catalogue. However, I think it's better if you alternate the books on wicca with others that help you understand the historical and sociological background that gave birth to this religion.

The books listed here are only a handful compared with what you might be able to find at a well provided store. These are the books I worked with when setting up this page, and should be considered only as a guide. As you go on you'll be able to find more books that might be good, and if you're interested in reviewing any, I'll be happy to post the review here.

Books on Wicca

• Wicca: a Guide for the Solitary Practitioner (Scott Cunningham) is considered one of the most comprehensive writen on Wicca. It has everything someone that feels atratceted to the religion and doesn't have anyone to teach him/her may want, including a complete Book of Shadows and little guides on the use of herbs and minerals. Highly recomended, I dare say it keeps at the top of witches' best selling list ;)
• Wicca: A Further Guide for the Solitary Practitioner (Scott Cunningham) is the second part of the guide, and comes back on things that were not touched on the previous book, complementing it.
• The Spiral Dance (Starhawk) was writen by the end of the '60s deals mainly with the feminine aspects of Wiccan, and is tinted in part with the idealistic spirit of the time. Another classic that has reached it's 10th edition
• Making Magick (Edan McCoy) deals with the practic aspectes of magick inside the religion. Very easy to read and quite clear, is a good starting point for those that want to start their way into the magickal arts
• Celtic Magic (D.J.Conway) covers many aspects of religion and it's mythos. An excelent tool to keep.
• Celtic Magic (Murry Hope) very much in the same style as Conway's book, now sadly out of print in spanish.

Books on Celtic Mythology

• The Golden Bough (Sir James Frazer) is a comprehensive treaty on the magickal uses of different people, having an extensive chapter on european solar festivals. Even though it has a strong positivist tone, due to the style of the time it was writen, one has to give it the importance it has as it was the first one to suggest the intimate relationship between the christian festivities and the pre-christian european ones.
• The White Goddess (Robert Graves) is a revision on the myths on the White Goddess all along Europe and Middle East, and comes back on the relation between the primitive solar festivals and christian festivities. Some conclusions might be questionable, but in any case it's an interesting book to read.

There are many other books available dealing with celtic mythology, some of them even including actual myths. Almost any serious study is usefull when it comes to gather information.

Other books

• The Silver Wheel (Marguerite Elsbeth & Kenneth Johnson) makes a revision on the archetypes asociated with the three aspects of the Goddess, as Maiden, Mother and Crone, and how a woman can activate them on her psyche. More oriented into psychology than religion.
• Mother, Maiden, Crone (D.J.Conway) in the same line of the previous one, deals with the archetypes of the Triple Goddess and Her different manifestations. It includes ecumenic rituals, apt to any religion, but is centered on the psychological aspects.
• The Celtic Oracle (Liz and Colin Murray) works on a divination method used by the celts of old, only using cards instead of runes carved on wood. Beautifully displayed, though the information might be a tad superficial, caused by the shortness of the book that comes with the cards.
