Okay ya'll, time for another book thread!
Edited on Thu Jun-02-05 10:45 PM by Chovexani
What books on spirituality are you reading right now?

I just picked up Full Contact Magick by Kerr Cuhulain, and I can't put it down! It is sort of a sequel to his previous book called the Wiccan Warrior, and expands on the concepts presented in that book, and is basically a Book of Shadows built around it. Even if you have been in the Craft for some time and shy away from the "Wicca 101" type books, this is really an awesome read.

Don't be put off by the name. If you're unfamiliar with the previous book, Cuhulain presents the path of the Wiccan Warrior as one of strength tempered by wisdom and discipline, much in the way of true martial arts. He actually makes many references to the martial arts in the book, which is probably why I connected with it so much (I have been a lifelong student of the martial arts and Eastern philosophy). It's not your typical, "here's a God for this, here's a spell for that" type of book; he really gets into the why of things, which is what a lot of the shallower books on the market today are lacking.

I highly recommend it to everyone but especially to those of you who incorporate martial arts and Eastern ideas into your practice. You will not be disappointed! :)

1. The closest thing to spiritual reading I'm into right now
is Deepak Chopra's new(?) book on holistic pregnancy. Beltane was a very fertile holiday for us this year!!! and I just can't seem to focus on anything else much these days. :)

3. Great books! I love his writing
I agree: it's not your usual mainstream Wicca book. PM if you ever want to chat about Kerr. He also recently wrote, 'Out of the Broom Closet," another great read.
