The Wheel of the Year - Rebecca Beattie
"Live a life in step with the seasons.
In this enchanting book, Rebecca Beattie – a Wiccan priestess who has practised witchcraft for over twenty years – takes us on a magical journey around the Wheel of the Year."
I'm not Wiccan but this book really is an insightful delight for anyone on a spiritual path, I absolutely love her nature diaries and gentle observations on the seasons. A definite must read for me.
The Crystal Year - Claire Titmus
The Crystal Year is a beautiful book for beginners and experienced crystal enthusiasts alike. It's filled with useful information that goes beyond the basics of crystals and manifesting, including helpful tips to live a more spiritually enlightened lifestyle.
There are monthly rituals that offer a unique opportunity to enrich your life in meaningful ways and it provides basic knowledge on all your staple crystals.
Earth Magick - Lindsay Squire
"Earth magick is all about understanding the elements which govern the world around us, connecting with the Earth and using its powers to thrive. From using the four elements – fire, air, water and earth – in spells, to learning about the powers of crystals and mastering the art of divination."
If I'm honest I would just recommend all of Lindsay Squire's series on magick, it really is informative, easy to read and all you need to learn and live with your craft. But Earth Magick is probably my favourite.
Astrology Magick - Lindsay Squire
"Whether you're new to witchcraft or astrology, discover how to use simple witchcraft and astrology to boost your wellbeing, find self-love and acceptance, and harness the power of the stars and universe in your life as well as your craft."
I promise I'm not sponsored by Lindsay, I just genuinely love the style and content of these books. This one really is informative on a subject a lot of people can struggle with. It is a definite must read for anyone wanting to get to grips with astrology.
Tarot Made Easy - Kim Arnold
"Learn how to work with the mystical and time-honoured art of the Tarot and interpret the mysterious imagery of the cards."
This book was recommended to me, and it really is a brilliant no-nonsense guide on working with tarot. It is made with Rider-Waite-Smith imagery in mind but can easily be adapted to any traditional tarot deck based on this format. A perfect starter companion while nurturing your intuition.
Green Witch Magick - Susan Ilka Tuttle
"Align with the natural cycles of the earth as you explore the 13 essential plants every green witch must know and have in their garden and cupboard for healing, spellwork, and divination."
This beautiful book is packed with information on ethical foraging and harvesting plants, setting up your own green witch garden and working with plants to learn the energetic and magickal properties and how to effectively use them in ritual and spellwork. I love the recipes in this book and have made some fantastic salves and balms from it.

Lunar Living - Kirsty Gallagher
"Working with the constantly changing phases of the moon helps you to understand yourself like never before, to realign everything in your own life, to understand when you need to rest and self-care and when you need to shine and make things happen."
If you're new to working with moon cycles then this book is a fabulous guide to the effects that the moon's phases can have on our lives, and how to live in alignment with the natural cycles.
