BellaOnline Forums Religion and Spirituality Wicca seeking advice & opinions please

Hello, I will keep this short and to the point. I am new to the wiccan religion and am anxious to learn. I am a recovering catholic, divorced and at the age of 43 am finally finding out who I am. Just so sorry it took a wack in the head (literaly) to change and become the individual I was created to be. I fell and fractured c-6 c7 3 1/2 years ago but am functioning as a t-3. I had to learn how to do everything all over again and was told by doctors "You will never...." well I am doing all those nevers!!!! I am rambeling, sorry! I am just so extreamly grateful4 all that I have been given! Has anyone heard of "Wiccan Bible" "Exploring the mysteries of the Craft"? Would you reccommend it or possibly another book for a newbie trying to find her way? thank you!

as odd as it sounds 'Idiots Guide to wicca / witchcraft' is good more facts less fluff

It's good to hear you have recovered so well and proved the doctors wrong.I hope you continue to improve,you must be very strong willed. The Wicca Guide by Ann-Marie Gallagher is a book i liked very much also Kate West The Real Witches Handbook is one of my all time favorites xx

"Simple Wicca" was the first book I read on the subject. It was nice and, well, simple. A good first-timer read, it kind of just explains the basics of our beliefs, also that you are free to tweak beliefs to suit yourself and your personal ideals. I hope it inspires you like it did me.
