A Witch Alone by Marian Green was one of the best I've ever read.
Another other favorite of mine, especially for quick ideas is The Witches Book of Wisdom by Patricia Telesco. I like Scott Cunningham reference books, and the Christopher Penczak books I've read. I've taken some of Christopher's classes and he has a very easy to follow and fun teaching style.
My favorite herbs are rosemary and ginger. And my favorite oils are lavender and eucalyptus.
And what about you? :)

I couldn't pick a favorite book, though I do like Dorothy Morrison's books. Bonewitz has some interesting things to say.
Fav herb; Rosemary, hand down. I can grow it without too much trouble. It tastes great and has many uses; purification, goddess energy, romance, relaxation, scalp issues....
Fav oil: Tea Tree, for practical purposes. That stuff is good for nearly everything. For anointing, I use lavender and peppermint frequently.
I think alot has to do with what resonates with you personally and the kind of work you do most often.

My goddess I only spit iced tea throughout my visual demonstrate unit giggling at Labgrrl's answer. I ought to know greater helpful than to be sipping a drink whilst analyzing the answerers that got here until eventually now me. LOL honestly - this does not only take place to Wiccans. think of of all the "Christians" accessible who do no longer seem to appreciate what their faith is all approximately - many have not even studied their own Bible - yet they are those that have a tendency to be the "on your face" type - they experience they make their presence commonplace and be very vocal approximately "their approaches" - and interior the approach they have a tendency to make all the coolest Christians accessible look undesirable. As has been stated - all of us began someplace, no longer having in intensity expertise of this course. The McWiccans (the I examine a Silver Ravenwolf e book and that i know all of it now type, or those interested in this course totally for the magic ingredient, or because of the fact they confuse the fictitious representations of Wicca and/or witchcraft with the real element) will the two supply it up whilst they locate out what this is particularly all approximately and what a severe dedication it takes to particularly walk the walk of a Wiccan (no longer in elementary terms communicate the communicate), or they'll develop into greater severe pupils. Like Labgrrl mentions too, it is, um, interesting? how a lot of those, often youthful ones who're greater moderen to the course particularly tell elders interior the community how incorrect they are and how they do no longer seem to be real Wiccans. This has got here approximately plenty to a chum of mine who has celebrated her twentieth anniversary of being an ordained intense Priestess in her custom. now and lower back those elders and greater matured Wiccans get somewhat demanding and tell the beginners the chilly harsh actuality - and then they finally end up with a teenage temper tantrum and being informed that they do no longer seem to be being very Wiccan-like because of the fact Wicca is all sunshine and roses and love and gentle-weight. LOL some only ought to learn which you will be a practitioner of a faith that promotes peace and tolerance devoid of being overly passive.

Funny that another person mentions Ellen Cannon Reed :) -- Although I do not practice "magick" in my religious path, I really like her book "The Witches Qabala" and find that it is a very good introduction to that way of looking at the world.
As for Herbs and Oils.... For cooking I like Garlic, Pepper, and Italian Seasoning used with olive oil...
For aromatherapy or other spiritual purposes, I like Lavender, Lilac, Rose, and Myrrh and Olive Oil is a wonderful medium for them....

One of the best books I've read is on natural magic. The title is Earth, Air, Fire & Water by Scott Cunningham. It includes other kinds of spells too, like Star, Snow, Mirror, and Wishing Well.
My favorite herb would have to be ginger, or lavender.

There are so many awesome books I'm not sure I can say there is a BEST book. Read a bunch of books from different authors and see for yourself.
Herbs: I love Nag Champa and patchouli, and sandalwood. Oils: I like to make my own.

Witch Alone by Marian Green

Not fluffy, so most people either never heard of them or don't like them.

High Magic by Frater U.D., although I realize it doesn't necessarily fall under your definition of "craft." Let me simplify: it's my favorite book on magic.
