I love Ronald Hutton too, but yes, I agree, the amount of information he pours in the pages can be daunting! So satisfying to finish one of his books though, and I find that all his works are very good to keep as reference when reading other books. Like "oh, this sounds interesting, lemme see if Hutton speaks about it"
@@geriattrique7141 His talks are very good! If you want to attend some check out the Victor Wynd museum on Eventbrite. Ronald Hutton does an array of different online talks on paganism and witchcraft through them. I believe he's actually doing one tomorrow which I'll be attending on Village Witchcraft and Magic!
Thank you so much for sharing. I think it is great that your traditions are still so available, mine are saidly not. One of the reasons why I think it is great, is that you share those information with people that otherwise wouldn´t be able to find anything good in the tradition section. So, thank you for your work! Greetings from Germany.
It is true so many of the folk witchcraft books are quite intense to read - especially when you delve into the academic and historical tomes such as Ronald Hutton. I love that book by Graham King because it's such a nice way to digest the charms and spells, especially with the images. I've never read The Black Toad by Gemma Gary - it's been on my list for a while - I love Gemma Gary's books so I will have to get it. I have a huge Troy Books wishlist only phone, I think I just need to slowly work through it though cus otherwise it's v expensive! 😂 I definitely think that Troy is one of the best places to go for folk magic and witchcraft. Thanks for sharing your picks.
Delightful channel and great list! I left my practice a long (long) time ago and I’m coming back to it with a different perspective. Honestly, I am happy to look at beginner books and come to this with a fresh, clear mind. Amazing Google docs list as well! :)
Just like with your video on Plant Magic Books I have bought some books on English Magic Books and they are this books: 01: The Book of English Magic - By: Philip Carr-Gomm and Richard Heygate 02: The Black Toad - By: Gemma Gary 03: East Anglian Witches and Wizards - By: Michael Howard 04: Botanical Folk Tales of Britain and Ireland - By: Lisa Schneidau
Love these recommendations thank you. I have a couple of the Troy books 📚. I was wondering I find it hard to find any northern folk practices .. I’m from Durham northeast xx
I love your book reviews,I read a variety of books and love love learning.Im autistic and struggle with heavy going books,I read the books but don't always digest the book properly.Do you have fiction books on witchcraft that you could recommend please.?xx
This was very useful, look forward to reading these books. Do you know of any books on witchcraft and magick based in the middlands? I can't seem to find any. would like to know more about the traditions in my region of the UK. Thanks for an awesome video x
Midlands isn't somewhere I've really focused my research on, I'm more focused towards East Anglia myself. But what I suggest is doing some more googling - I've just typed in "midlands english folk magic" and some information on, for example Warwickshire, has popped up. If you also type in things like "warwickshire folklore", book recommendations and websites pop up! So have a play around with some terms into google, there is information out there.
I’m just starting my journey into English folk practice so I’ll be adding lots of these to my collection I’m sure xx
I feel your channel is underrated. 🥰

Haha yes, despite the length of time it may take to read through them, they're super valuable!
I bet his lectures would be amazing though. Is he still teaching university or retired?

Thanks for the support! Yes Troy books are so amazing! It was so hard not to put them all on this list 😂

Thank you! 💗 I don't really read a lot of fiction I'm afraid! I've heard that Terry Prachett's Witches series are meant to be good?
Triumph of the Moon was absolutely stunning! [and yes he is extremely academic and dry!]
