Question:
I’m toying with the idea of opening a new shop in my area to service various wicca-pagan types. There is no store in the area of that type. I am wondering though, if witches might actually prefer shopping on the internet these days. So any thoughts are appreciated. I’m in a rual-ish community, and I think you have to go about 80 miles to find anything like this (except whatever books they sell at borders) I’m thinking of having tols and herbs and stuff like that too though, do you think it will be popular, or do you think all my customers would be teenagers? (not that that is necessarily bad, just not enough)

Product Description Now you can learn from the original, most important source for magic in the Western world that has ever been published, when you get Agrippa’s Three Books of Occult Philosophy.
This massive volume was originally published in 1531, and occultists have been drawing on it ever since. Now, Llewellyn is proud to produce the first complete reprint of the original English translation in the last 500 years. Donald Tyson edited this work and removed the hundreds of errors that appeared in the original translation. He also fully annotated the work, to make it understandable—and usable—by people today.

Question:
I am in the process of opening a pagan shop with my husband and we both want to sell books in there but we are having a hard time finding a wholsaler. We were wondering if maybe would be able to sell used books in there? I know we can, but is that a good idea? If you were shopping for books would you consider buying a used book? Blessed Be!

Question:
Lately, I’ve been working and designing to create and open my own retail shop. I’m a bookworm by nature- having a terrible childhood growing up, my escape was to immerse myself in books and learn as much as possible. But I’ve come to realize that none of the bookstores in my area cater to the type of books that I enjoy the most and are climbing in popularity to my target age group. Now that I’m opening my own shop in the local mall, I thought it would be wonderful to sell books that cater to this interest. Where on earth can I get books to sell in my shop that pretain to areas of interest like Witchcraft, Pagan religions (Wiccan, Buddhist, Taoism, Shinto, etc), Alternative Lifestyles (Gay/Lesbian/Bi/Trans, BDSM, different types of fetish lifestyles), plus more mainstream books and magazines.
Also, if anyone knows anything about laws regarding the sale of tobacco products, especially hookahs and shisha, please take the time to read my other question- http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070713032042AAGM3Bz&r=w
Ok, so now that I have the whole metaphysical part taken care of, I’m looking for books on alternative lifestyles. Thanks so far!

Question:
Many people say that, either way, when studying about another religion, you will come across ‘Bad’ books. And since I am studying about Wicca, when I go book shopping (mostly just to buy Scott Cunningham’s “Wicca, A Guide For The Solitary Practitioner”) Should I pick up a Silver Ravenwolf book, just so I can see for myself? I mean, most people say to stay away from her…but would it be a good idea to at least read something from her book, just so I have an idea of what to stay away from, and develop my own opinion of her, instead of going by what others think? And what about D.J Conway? Should I pick up one of hers too?
And don’t worry, I’m not going shopping until I am FULLY out of the broom closet. Both my parents know that I am studying Wicca now, but they don’t know that I’m actually APART of it, if you know what I mean.
Product Description Written in the Renaissance, Dee’s Books shed light on our struggle to reconcile contemporary conflicts: tradition vs. reform, science vs. magic, Christian vs. pagan. Discovered in a hidden compartment of an old chest long after his death, the secret writings of John Dee, one of the leading scientists and occultists of Elizabethan England, record in minute detail his research into the occult. Dee concealed his treatises on the nature of humandkind’s contact with angelic realms and languages throughout his life, and they were nearly lost forever. In his brief biography of John Dee, Joseph Peterson calls him a “true Renaissance man,” detailing his work in astronomy, mathematics, navigation, the arts, astr… More >>

Question:
I Am Fairly New To Wicca, After Being An Atheist For Some Time..
What Books Or Authors Would You Recommend? I Have Been Quite Uncertain About Which Books To Buy.. Because I Do Not Want One Of Those Fake Ones Full Of Nonsense.
I Read The Rede Quite Often, But I Want To Learn More, And I Need Help Finding A Direction To Go In. I Would Like To Learn How To Practice This Religion; My Mother Is an Ignorant Lutheran And Does Not Support My Love For What I Have Found Here. I’m Not Sure If It Matters, When Choosing A Book To Follow, But I Believe In Isis And The Egyptian Pantheon.
Thank You For Your Help.
