RE: Wiccan websites, books and periodicals
Very sound advice and very informative .
Hi all
My favourite website is www.avalonia.co.uk. Lots to read and learn and they run a homestudy course. Sorita and David have also written many books on the subject of Wicca and different deities. Enjoy!
A great book that I've just finished is 'Wiccan Roots' by Phillip Hesselton. He's done some amazing research about 'uncle Gardner' and his life and how he was initiated.

RE: Wiccan websites, books and periodicals
There is also mine (link in my signature).
With regard to the book recommendations, there are many listed above that I would really not recommend but why be negative eh? I'll just list some of the authors that I do.
On any pagan or magic related subject, I always recommend reading as much source material as possible. In other words, not the rubbish written by someone who learned from a book in the first place!
Authors I would recommend for Wicca would be (too many titles between them to list them by title so just google the authors):
Gerald Gardner - I can't believe nobody has recommended his books! How much closer to the source can you get than the person who started it!
Ronald Hutton - an academic view on the roots of wicca (and druidry, shamanism etc if you read his non- wicca books).
Doreen Valiente.
Janet and Stewart Farrar
Patricia Crowther
Vivianne Crowley
Philip Heselton
With the exception of Ron Hutton and Philip Hesselton, the others are the "old school" of authors on Wicca (the latter being the more academic information), the ones who were around Gardner and/ or Sanders (amongst others) right back at the beginning before all the watered down rubbish came along that is passed off as pagan literature nowadays.
