Isian, Kemetic, and Egyptian
Note: This list is far from comprehensive, but provides a general overview of titles helpful to the student
of modern Egyptian paganism or Kemeticism. All the titles given, with the exception of the Faulkner translations and
Brier's work, are written from a practitioners' standpoint and are directed toward same. I will in time compile a separate
list of scholarly works. The rule of caveat lector should remain firmly in place, of course; and if
a balance may be struck between gnosis and scholarship, so much the better. :)

Witchcraft, Wicca and General Paganism
Note: The majority of the titles listed here present the subject from an "old school" point of view.
(My personal practice of the craft would likely seem terribly eclectic to a staunch traditionalist, and far too traditional
to a very open eclectic!) I don't necessarily agree with everything you'll find in these books--and I certainly hope
you won't either. But to my mind, these are more reliable and substantial sources than most of what appears on bookstore
shelves these days. Have a grain of salt, or the whole shaker handy, and enjoy!
