Every practitioner draws knowledge from a sacred source—books. They help broaden perception, expand worldview, and reveal the subtleties of interacting with the esoteric realm.
But which book should you begin with when you are just starting your journey?
Let us explore this below!
Francesca Matteoni — “Wizards and Witches: A Beginner’s Guide to Magic”
This book explores witchcraft throughout the ages, highlighting its unique figures, describing tools for magical practice, and offering exercises and spells that are relevant even in the modern world.
The author demonstrates that magic is always close by—you simply need to learn how to interact with it.
Paige Vanderbeck — “Green Witchcraft: A Guide to Discovering the Magic of Flowers, Herbs, Trees, Crystals, and More”
This is a practical guide to green witchcraft (a branch of magic focused on working with plants, crystals, stones, and their properties).
Compared to other forms of practice, green witchcraft is relatively easy to approach, as we already interact with nature and its energies daily. The key feature of this book is that it does not require you to abandon your personal beliefs—only openness to knowledge.
Oleksandr Korytskyi — “Scandinavian Runes: Magic of the Ancient Gods”
This book provides foundational knowledge about runes and is useful both for beginners and experienced practitioners.
According to the author, the information is connected to the Ancient Gods, as it is based on work with the Elder Futhark sequence, a study that began in the previous millennium and continues to this day.
Written in an accessible and engaging style, the author guides the reader into the mysterious world of runes.
Andrii Kostenko — “Tarot as a System: The Rider–Waite Deck. Theory and Practice”
This publication presents a complete system of tarot meanings and archetypes based on the famous Rider–Waite–Smith deck.
It also includes modern divination techniques and previously unpublished material in Ukrainian.
Additionally, Andrii Kostenko has another guide, “Lenormand Cards: Theory and Practice,” which helps beginners master Lenormand and its core techniques from scratch.
Anna Symbalain — “Astrological Magic of the Ten Planets”
A unique book that explores rituals, planetary deities, and the author’s practical methods for safely entering the world of planetary magic to achieve personal goals.
It covers planetary influences on human life, possible requests addressed to them, and safe practices for working with planetary energies.
As in any field, magic begins with learning the fundamentals. Once you take the first step, intuition will guide you toward the right direction of the mystical and unknown.
