Despite the author being considered a little fluffy, Silver Ravenwolf's Teen Witch and Solitary Witch are fantastic reference books, She does a great job at making paganism and Wicca easy to understand and easy to gradually ease into. Also, Wicca: A Guide For The Solitary Practitioner, and Living Wicca, by Scott Cunningham, his work in general is easy to understand and gives alot of room for personal adaptation, while continuing to draw you deeper into asking your own questions.

Okay.... here is part one of the list of doom (for those who have not seen my library yet, it is literally holding the ceiling up in more than one spot!)
1. The Kybalion by Three Initiates: describes the way the universe works (magical laws). I've reread it several times and always get something new.
2. CovenCraft by Amber K: must have for anyone who is forming/joining/in a coven
3. RitualCraft by Amber K: How to craft a powerful ritual, particularly for group settings
4. Temple of Witchcraft Series by Christopher Penczak: phenomenal!!!! Breaks down various aspects of the craft including: psychic abilities, ritual crafting, shamanism, high magic, etc.
5. Three Books on Occult Philosophy by Agrippa: GREAT medieval source on anything magic, heavily drawn on by many modern authors.
6. Ted Andrews' entire works: covers many different types of magic (totems, nature, faeries, healing, etc) and easy to understand!!!
I'll add more when I have the chance!!!!!
