Earth, Air, Fire & Water: More Techniques of Natural Magic , by Scott Cunningham
Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs , by Scott Cunningham
The Druids , by Ronald Hutton
A Kitchen's Witch World of Magical Herbs & Plants , by Rachel Patterson
Book of Shadows , Phyllis Currot
So what is yours?

Modern Witchcraft: A Complete Guide or Spells and Rituals. ~ Skye Alexander
Hmmm. Well these are the works which affected my practice the most:
Nummits and Crummits by Sarah Hewett
The Black Toad by Gemma Gary
Greek and Roman Necromancy by Daniel Odgen
Magika Hiera (Various Authors)
Anything by Starr Casas (Just her ideas, whether traditional conjure or not, are a great way to understand Christian Witchcraft. Just be careful, she repeats herself in books).
And then there are works that I really haven't gotten to yet, such as Owen Davies, Cotton Mather, Alan MacFarlane, and Rodomir Ristic.
All of these books are either about popular magic in Ancient Greece, history of witchcraft and folk practices, or practical applications.

I would love to read, pretty much every book on the topic, but currently I am trying to get through all of Scott Cunninghams works.
though I lost it on the bus I really liked wiccapedia a modern witches guide alot!
I also got wicca another year and a day by timothy roderick but its a kinda difficult read though very informative.
and i got the book of runes by Ralph Blum
the runes by Lisa peschel
and one book I highly recommend is the four agreements by don miguel ruiz. its just a really great book that gets you thinking about the energy you're putting out and taking in.
I'm definitly interested in these other titles gonna jot them down in m y notes and keep my eyes peeled for them next book run!
