Wiccan Books Quiz
The Charge of the Goddess by Doreen Valiente
Doreen Valiente is a Wiccan icon, and her writings have brought so much art and beauty to the religion. Within the pages of The Charge of the Goddess, you’ll find some of her most moving and lyrical poems related to witchcraft, magick, and spirituality. The book’s title is drawn from her famous ritual poem of the same name--which itself is a variation of a much older ritual tradition.

The Meaning of Witchcraft by Gerald Gardner
Wicca as we know it wouldn’t exist without the contributions of Gerald Gardner (sometimes called “The Father of Wicca”), and The Meaning of Witchcraft is one of the most important books he published. Gardner’s theory that Wicca descends from an ancient, pre-Christian witch cult was not without controversy, but this publication is where he lays out his argument and makes his case. It’s a classic Wiccan text that can’t be missed!

Wicca: A Year and a Day by Timothy Roderick
Wicca: A Year and a Day is not a book that’s meant to be read quickly. The concept of “a year and a day” is important in Wicca and paganism in general as a timeframe for initiates to make a decision about committing themselves to the religion. Roderick’s book is broken into 366 daily “chapters” that allow your journey into the world of Wicca to unfold over the course of months. Wicca offers no quick fixes or answers, and Wicca: A Year and a Day beautifully and instructively illustrates this concept. If you’re serious about making a commitment to the religion, this is the book for you!
