Subject: First book selection

My first choice is to read 'The Triump of the Moon, A History of Modern Pagan Witchcraft' by Ronald Hutton. This book gives an unbiased, historical perspective of modern witchcraft, from about 1800. It is concerned primarily with Britain, although it does include American witchcraft from the 1960's onward.

What makes this book intriguing to me is that it is written by a historian (Prof. of History at the Univ. of Bristol), consequently, he separates facts from opinions, and lets us draw our own conclusions. (rather than espousing an idea without concrete proof, like many books do)

My second choice would be 'The Alphabet versus the Goddess, the Conflict between Word and Image'. I don't know much about this book, but has been recommended by several friends.
