My Amazon list is getting very long lol, thank you for the recommendations I did buy your book I can't wait to hop into it. I'm glad you made this video because I was actually wanting to ask you this question.

You pointed out how people always talk about "working with" this or that spirit or deity but they never explain what that means, how to do it, or why. Thank you! And thank you for the book suggestion for that. 👍

If you are looking for a great book that lays it all out in a very clear and powerful way, try “Unlocking the Secrets of Sorcery” on Amazon. It focuses on results-based magick. This path combines timeless occult philosophy with science and psychology to create non-cosplay magick. Enjoy!

Thank you so much for bringing those to light, you are always a valuable (and first) source I turn to for information on these subjects! Much love 💖

One day I’ll own a shop and have your book lists and all your recommended titles 🥰

YES! I've been waiting for your video on this.Thankyou! These are books that I haven't considered yet.👏👍

Grimassi is to Truth as Hutton is to facts. "Neos" will focus on one, and academics on the other. Witches like you remind us why we need to be reading both. I appreciated this inclusion. And it's good to remind witches why they should read a new book on Wicca. The separation is still often unclear for people, especially solitaires, and your writing (and vlogs) is a service to the community. Never underestimate your value.

If you are looking for a great book that lays it all out in a very clear and powerful way, try “Unlocking the Secrets of Sorcery” on Amazon. It focuses on results-based magick. This path combines timeless occult philosophy with science and psychology to create non-cosplay magick. Enjoy!

Thank you Thorn, just the video I needed and the only book I already have is your one so will definitely be checking out the others. Would love to see more videos like this if and when you have the time or inclination as there are so many books being written at the moment! And I value your opinion!

This is the perfect answer to the current question about books on witchcraft written by authors who have a face and are active in the community! Great choices!

I love your book recommendations. Thank you for your wisdom.

Thanks for this list. I'm interested in all these titles. Very exciting!

I LOVE hearing about newer Wiccan/Witchcraft books. As someone who’s coming back to her Craft, I’ve been pulling out and rereading my old books but, as you said, they are wonderful and a couple of decades old. Reading online has been valuable but there’s such an aesthetic joy from holding and reading a book (plus reading for a long time on a screen hurts my eyes 😅) thank you for sharing!

Great list of recommended! Added a few to my “to be read” list. 💜

Your book is excellent! I've read it twice already. Will definitely check out your other recommendations.

Love love this list it's so helpful thank you for this.

Thanks Thorn As a life long reader books are important... Btw I got a Llewellyns Witches Calendar for the New Year(hadn't had one in a long time) and was delighted to discover that you were a contributor ( February) and Jason Mankey is December's guest. Thanks I'm starting to feel home again so to speak Blessed Be☺💝🎆🌃

I found this very helpful, Thank you x

Just finished reading your book (in the italian edition) and I found it really interesting, as it gave me a new perspective about Wicca, since I have always read mainly about solitary practice and I was eager to expand my knowledge into other directions. So glad that I can also follow you on YT, thanks for these suggestions, "Psychic Witch" was already popping on my Amazon suggested section, so I will surely check it out!

*watches her reading list expand* Damn I love your videos. THANK YOU!

Thank you! Needed some inspo on what to read next and now I have all I need. ;)

I have added these books on to my Book Depository list and I want to thank you for recommending these books. I do have other book that list before I get these. I just bought your book off the list as it has been on a while. Thank you for another beautiful video,

Love this. I've added a few of them to my Amazon cart. And I personally love Raven Grimassi's writing. I was fortunate to meet him at a Pagan Pride Gathering around the time his book The Cauldron of Mysteries was published.

As usual good info. Just bought psychic witch. Thank you

:D I've been reading Psychic Witch this past week. I'm really trying to take my time with it and work through most of the exercises, so I haven't finished it yet, but I'm noticing that it's really like an updated take on Christopher Penczak's Inner Temple of Witchcraft. So many of the really good exercises from Inner Temple have been repeated verbatim on the internet so many times that they've become a sort of common knowledge, so it's really nice to see some new perspectives on building these fundamental skills. That added to the fact that it goes deeper into certain topics is making Psychic Witch my new favorite.

Sure! And Mat is a member of the Temple of Witchcraft, so it makes sense that Christopher’s teachings would be audible in his voice. But he’s definitely got his own spin. 💙

Thanks for this! I read your book last year but poor Mr. Mankey's has been sitting in my "To Read" pile for...almost as long! Maybe once I chew through 2 or 3 I can start to add some of these to my list.

Thorn! let me just say thank the gods (ha) for you. As a solitary that looks to the witch community online to connect and garner information I appreciate your spot on insights delivered in your no nonsense style. I tend to be on the nerdy bookish side so it's so good to have someone to look to recommend the meatier, more substantial works as it saves me the trouble (and expense) of sifting through the cookie cutter stuff that 's out there with the same old info being regurgitated endlessly . thank you. and btw loved Traditional Wicca., can't wait for your next.

I just bought your book last night! ❤️💫❤️💫❤️💫

Thanks for introducing me to some of the more recent voices in the movement. As soon as you mentioned “What is Remembered Lives”, I resonated … been doing a lot of research into other realms, or what we feel/experience as the Unseen, and I think that one will fit nicely with the fantastic book by Patrick Harpur “Daimonic Reality.”

Now these are the type of books I've needed my whole life! I have really wanted to enhance my witch practice, because for the last few years I've only picked and chosen ideas from various websites. While the internet is a great tool, it's nice to have everything you want to know in a little book. Thanks, Thorn!

Thanks! I really needed books that aren't aimed at beginners

Thank you for this.

I just finnished Feasting from the Black Cauldron by Amaranthus it was nice change from the repetitive wheel of the year etc.. formats .Thorns book is a must read too the Grimassi book should be here Monday too.

Looks like I've got some books to buy next month, since I already spent my self-allocated book allowance for this month. Mat Auryn's book in particular was already on my list, but now I'm making it a priority. Funny enough the only book I already own is yours Thorn, I got it on a recommendation from one of my friends in Blue Star before my dedication and have since made sure my teenaged daughter read it as well

I've actually met Jason Mankey at Convocation in Detroit. Pagan event put on by the Detroit Pagan Community.

Great video thanks for sharing

I love the Brakebills shirt!!!

Thanks for the recommendations! All of these are in my amazon wish list currently and now I have extra motivation to add them to my cart 😅 *also, love the Brakebills shirt! I just went through a Netflix binge of The Magicians and I'm getting ready to start the second book 👏

It's a great book and the fact that it's available on audiobook makes it fantastic

Another great book is Dianne Sylvan’s, The Circle Within: Creating a Wiccan Spiritual Tradition. If you’re in to that of course, but I found it beautiful x

I wanted to say thank you for recommending the books. With all the books out there, its difficult to know what to purchase, especially if your book budget is limited. It helps to have someone with some kind of knowing (aka, a pagan author) about what they think the good books out there are, instead of relying on the word of an Amazon reviewer (which could be reliable, or utter crap, depending on your point of view). After watching your video, I purchased 'Transformative Witchcraft by Jason Mankey', primarily due to the history element---things I hear through the grapevine in dribs and drabs and never explained--probably because most people don't know these things--get more fully fleshed out and down to earth. (Though I did find "Triumph of the Moon" to be a difficult slog). This is the first book by Mankey I've ever read, and I find his style of presentation attractive.

Thanks Thorn. I definitely need to read these books. I’d be interested to hear your perspective on Devin Hunters recent books - I picked up the witch’s book of spirits recently but I’ve not read it yet. Love hearing your thoughts on all of this. Thank u 🙏🏻 Xx

Devin Hunter is awesome! I’ve only read the first book in his trilogy (Witch’s Book of Power), but it was great. He’s also just an all-around good person, having hung out with him at festivals. I just got his Modern Witch Spellbook in the mail and will be reading it soon.

I got The Crooked Path by Kelden and I must say reading this, it's really well written and concise, tells me exactly what I need to know. I know it's going to be the book I got on a whim I never knew I really needed

Kelden is fantastic. I should do a part 2 of this video.

Dealing With Deity’s by Raven Kaldera is amazing.

Darn! I almost picked up The Psychic Witch last Tuesday. Regretting that now lol. I read a lot of Christopher Penczak but I'm trying to branch out.

Don't know if I might be psychic because I make the right moves when it matters but not from a vision just a gut feeling. Maybe some entity is guiding me. I started reading the book psychic witch but the exercises are slowing my progress.

hi thorn! what type of wiccan are you? by the way from what country do you live?

Gonna say this anybody who has psychic witch in their recommendations list knows what they are talking about. Any book that focuses on mental training should be the first book any witch or magician should get. Your mind is the most important tool. No Athame, no Besome, no crystal even compares.

You can find free book of shadows apps

I saw a woman who looked like you in the occult section at a HPB, was that you?

I didn't know Raven Grimassi had passed. So sad.

Can I just say I appreciate a witch who uses the f bomb liberally. LOL. Seriously , though. I was so excited to read Mat Auryn's book.
