Not Harry Potter stuff. It's a great series, I've read it completely, but it is in now way what real Witches are like. Real Witches/Wiccans cannot turn people into ferrets. I'm looking for real life stories about Wiccans. A bit of make-believe is of course a must have for fiction, but please no flying on broomsticks stuff.

try another Mercedes Lackey series--it was re-released a couple years ago--the Diana Tregarde books: she's a practicing witch with some extra occult whammy up her sleeves
Burning Water
Children of the Night
Jinx High
(Sacred Ground--different characters, same "universe")
Christopher Stasheff--Warlock books. May not fall into your definition, but has witches & warlocks running around. Actually espers (psi powers) evolved on another planet, so the planet has a few things that smack more of true magic. Medieval world, so mostly Christian/Catholic beliefs as the religious framework

The only book I've read that I would call "Wicca-based" is High Magic's Aid...which I recommend that people read just to get an insight into Gerald Gardner's mind, but which I did not find to be terribly entertaining as a novel.

I found "High Magick's Aid" by Gerald Gardner to be one heck of an interesting story. I couldn't put it down until I had read the whole book, I found it that good (It took me about 14 hours to read).

Well, its not exactly Wiccan, but it is pagan - The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley
Also, Elizabeth Cunningham writes Goddess based novels. Not exaclty Wiccan, but good reads also.
