Wicca Texts

The core texts of Wicca, Gerald Gardner's own Book of Shadows tradition, Doreen Valiente's The Charge of the Goddess and Gardner's own Witchcraft Today, the 1954 book that first publicly presented Wicca as a surviving witchcraft religion. It belongs here for texts foundational to Wicca as a twentieth century new religious movement, distinct from the Witchcraft, Demonology and Folklore Texts grouping nearby, which holds older writing about witchcraft from outside and often hostile to any actual practitioner.
