 Complete Book of Witchcraft
By Raymond Buckland. This is a workbook, presented in the form of lessons, each culminating in participatory exercises that are fun and informative. This is ideal for a self-study or for a group. It's the perfect book for the serious student, the newly forming coven, the Solitary Witch, or simply the curious. I believe that each and every aspect of Wicca is covered in this large book.
