Campus Bookstore

While it is true that all of the classes here are free, it does still cost to keep the Campus up and running. Please purchase any books you may need for your classes from Amazon through our pages. Any monies generated go straight back into the upkeep of the Campus and eventually the scholarship program we would like to begin.

Just because we have them listed here with links to Amazon.com, does not mean you can not find them elsewhere on the internet for free.

Advanced Wicca/Witchcraft

The Golden Bough
Sir James George Frazer
The Golden Bough describes our ancestors' primitive methods of worship, sex practices, strange rituals and festivals. Disproving the popular thought that primitive life was simple, this monumental survey shows that savage man was enmeshed in a tangle of magic, taboos, and superstitions. Revealed here is the evolution of man from savagery to civilization, from the modification of his weird and often bloodthirsty customs to the entry of lasting moral, ethical, and spiritual values. - Amazon.com

The The Witch-Cult in Western Europe
Margaret A. Murray
This is an intensive study of the witch cult in Great Britain. The author uses French and Flemish sources to obtain a clearer understanding of the ritual and beliefs, as the witch cult appears to be the same throughout western Europe. The sources from which the information used within are the judicial records and contemporary chroniclers. In the case of the chroniclers, the author studied their facts, not their opinions. - Amazon.com

Aradia: The Gospel of Witches
Charles Godfrey Leland
Originally published in 1899. The major link between ancient European witchcraft and modern practices. - Amazon.com

Celtic Witchcraft

Francesca De Grandis

Glamoury: Magic of the Celtic Green World
Steve Blamires
Glamoury is a holistic magic system promoted to break down barriers between humans and the natural world. Based on the ancient Celtic spiritual tradition, this offers techniques which blend Celtic history and research with exercises designed to expand psychic abilities. - Midwest Book Review

The Spiral Dance
Starhawk
This brilliant overview of the growth, supression, and modern-day reemergence of Wicca as a Goddess-worshipping religion has left an indelible mark on the feminist spiritual consciousness. This important spiritual guidebook provides both the tools of ancient practice and the means to adapt them to our lives today – for, according to Starhawk, ‘a living tradition is not static or fixed; it changes and responds to changing needs and changing times.’

Ceremonial Magick

Full Circle
Aaron Holmes
An anthropological and psychological look at metaphysics yesterday and today. Blending fundamentals and traditional basics with scientific theory, Full Circle is a great introduction to paganism and magick and with the exercises Aaron has included, application is progressive and enjoyable.

Divination

Miniature Rider Waite Tarot Deck
Arthur Edward Waite
This is not the required deck, but a deck of tarot cards is required. Because this is the most popular deck we have placed a link to it, however, any 78 card tarot deck is fine.

 

Tarot Awareness
Stephen Walter Sterling
Drawing on his years of study of Christian, Jewish, and Eastern mysticism, as well as psychology and astrology, Sterling wrote Tarot Awareness: Exploring the Spiritual Path. He felt there was a need for a textbook that both teachers and students could use to facilitate classes and a tool that provides a practical guide for enhancing spiritual awareness, self-help and meditation. - Amazon.com

Power of the Witch
Laurie Cabot
"Power of the Witch" gives an excellent overview of this positive spiritual path, going into plenty of depth on the history, practices, and scientific basis for the Craft and dispelling the disinformation that has been spread about its followers. Laurie Cabot's explanations are clear for those with no background in Witchcraft, but are still fluff-free and chock-full of information for those sincerely seeking the roots behind this belief system. - Amazon.com

Foundations of Paganism

Drawing Down the Moon: Witches, Druids, Goddess-Worshippers, and Other Pagans in America Today
Margot Adler

"A healthy corrective." - The New York Times Book Review

Pagan Theology

Green Witchcraft: Folk Magic, Fairy Lore & Herb Craft
Ann Moura
In the swamp of tripe that masquerades itself as information on Witchcraft, mixing fact with fantsay in a misleading amalgam, Aoumiel has created a lush, pleasant garden. 'Green Witchcraft' covers not Wicca, but Paganism -- the old ways, the way the ordinary person on the heath would have identified with them. There is no pretense of titles and degrees, no endorsement of dogma, just quiet affirmation that at heart, each of us knows where and how to find the divine. For they *are* in each of us.
