Cunningham's classic introduction to Wicca is about how to live life magically, spiritually, and wholly attuned with nature. It is a book of sense and common sense, not only about magick, but about religion and one of the most critical issues of today: how to achieve the much needed and wholesome relationship with our Earth. Cunningham presents Wicca as it is today: a gentle, Earth-oriented religion dedicated to the Goddess and God. Wicca also includes Scott Cunningham's own Book of Shadows and updated appendices of periodicals and occult suppliers.
Begin your apprenticeship in Faery Wicca. Now you can receive the wisdom of Witchcraft's most elusive branch in the first book ever to publish its teachings. Faery Wicca unveils the authentic beliefs and practices of Irish Faery Wicca, the ancient earth-centered religion that by oral tradition survived centuries of oppression and provided the basis for many forms of Celtic Wicca. Lessons cover Faery Wicca's history, evolution, philosophy, and mechanics in a format that facilitates learning. Because initiation can only be acquired under the direction of an Ollamh (Elder Priestess) of the Faery-Faith, instruction in this guide is presented by a traditionally initiated Ollamh and Faith expert.

The Meaning of Witchcraft is a non-fiction book written by Gerald Gardner. Gardner, known to many in the modern sense as the "Father of Wicca", based the book around his experiences with the religion of Wicca and the New Forest Coven. He claimed he was allowed to tell more than ever before and cast light on the rituals and beliefs of witches. The book's main message was that neither the practices of witches nor their intents were harmful. The book tells the history of witchcraft in Europe. The author traces back to pre-Christian times, studies the rituals and beliefs of templars, and states that the belief in fairies in ancient, medieval, and early modern Europe was connected with a secretive pygmy race that lived alongside other communities. The preface to this book was Margaret Murray, who stated that witchcraft took its root in the pre-Christian religions and had nothing to do with spell-casting and other evil practices. Instead, Murray proposes to view witchcraft as "the sincere expression of that feeling towards God which is expressed, perhaps more decorously though not more sincerely, by modern Christianity in church services."
