I have known Rick for many years, and I deeply respect him as a man, and a HP. This is his list, and I love it, so I wanted to share it.
I hope you enjoy it.
Please note that I have NOT read all of these. However, they have been
recommended as worthy so I am including these here. The desired
audience ranges from children to teen to adult, they can be g-rated to
hard-core so choose wisely. Some of these authors are pagan, some Wiccan,
some neither but all these works are pagan-centered and many were
written by Gardnerian High Priest�?& High Priestess�?
Those marked with an * are what I personally find to be good to
excellent books.
Those with an �?are works I do not own and so cannot judge.
Those with a ^ are works I own but am too lazy to read yet.
When I get may sailboat livable, I’ll catch up on these.
Also HTML doesn't com across Juno well so I deleted my commentaries
which can be found at:
http://www.geocities.com/DesertHenge/readlist.htmlIf anyone has any of the books I am missing or the comics and would
like to donate for class display, I wouldn't argue<g>.
And if you have recommendations of your own, feel free to include them.

FICTIONAL VIDEOS
When dealing with movies, remember that to sell and recover production
costs, the film MUST be aimed to attract the xian audience, regardless
of the intended message so much here is inaccurate fantasy with xian
values tossed in at the end. Simple economics at work.

COMIC BOOKS BY AND ABOUT WITCHCRAFT
Comics used to be simple art that attracted kids with a nickel in their
pocket. Today’s comics are more like a graphic novel with a hefty
price tag and some are adults only.
