Staff Picks and Recommendations

Robyn's Recommendation
"Wiccan Spirituality" AND "Advanced Wiccan Spirituality"
By: Kevin Saunders
These two books are an excellent introduction to traditional Craft knowledge. The first volume explores: ethics, psychology, symbols, planes of existence, Tree of Life, tarot, zodiac, meditation and trance, Wheel of the Year, spirit beings, the process of initiation and more. The second volume explores: history and contemporary perspectives, elements, self development, altars, tools, deities, rites of passage and more.

Scarlet's Recommendation
"Wiccan Warrior"
By: Kerr Cuhulain
According to Cuhulain, being a warrior is not about fighting. A warrior is someone who is balanced, creative, rational and can think outside the box to deal with whatever comes their way. This is a spiritual path of self empowerment for dealing with a relatively hostile world.

Brenda's Recommendation
"Spiral Dance"
By: Starhawk
This has been one of the books to have inspired people for decades and introduced them to Paganism and Goddess worship today. Anecdotal and grounded, Starhawk's book has been pivotal in educating people about the basics of the Craft.

Eri's Recommendation
"Seventy=Eight Degrees of Wisdom"
By: Rachel Pollock
One of the most solid books about tarot, this details both symbology and correspodnaces for the major and the minor tarot cards. It also introduces you to the techniques of reading the cards. A staple text for anyone interested in tarot.




Francois's Recommendation
"Shadowscapes Tarot Deck & Book Set"
New in for the store, this tarot is positively gorgeous! This is a lovely fusion of Asian and Celtic art and lore merged with the traditional meanings of the Tarot.






Katherine's Recommendation
*Katherine is our newest employee and here we see her first interested to inspire your own spirituality*
"In My Own Words"

By: His Holiness the Dalai Lama
Here the Dalai Lama introduces us to his teachings and philosophy, wisdom we can all use! Understand Buddhism through his eyes and words, tap into the ideals and practices of meditation and universal responsibility.
