For new Wiccans: Next step after your beginner studies end

[Hærfest Leah]

I just wanted to post this because lots of people ask whats next after their year and a day of study is over, which is where I'm headed also. Here is the link to what you can do next. I hope this post has helped someone. :)

This link is for Wiccans but I think it can work for some other paths too.

Bump!

I've seen a few queries about Wicca recently, so I thought I would bump this up for you.

i would be a little skeptical of anything that recommends Edain McCoy...

At the risk of pointing out something you've already seen, I rather like the list DebLipp posted on our forum some time ago - http://www.mysticwicks.com/showthread.php?t=52940

That ought to give you some things to learn :D

For Wiccans specifically, I would also recommend The Circle Within, by Dianne Sylvan. She shows how to set up a daily regimen and become closer to the gods and go deeper into your routines and prayers. This is actually a great book for any path, but she is Wiccan, so it's a little more geared towards Wiccans than any other pagan path.

For all pagans, I would recommend The Second Circle, by Venecia Rauls. She speaks of becoming more specialized, group work, reading omens and signs, deeper divination work, becoming closer to the gods, etc. I quite enjoyed it.

I suggest that those who are ready to get to more in depth topics than 101 books: choose a topic that has interested you... like Herbalism, and then get books that only talk about that topic, and don't just shop for them in the Pagan/New Age Books, look elsewhere too.
