Ei se ihan heti lopu...

Hei vain kaikille,

Nyt on mahdollisuus kerralla säikyttää kaikki uudet tämän polun vaeltajat siitä, kuinka loputon tämä polku on.
Mulla on nuo "temple of witchcraft"-kirjat ja tietenkään en ole malttanut olla selailematta niitä, vaikka pääpaino onkin tällä hetkellä sen ensimmäisen kirjan läpikahlauksessa ja harjoitusten tekemisessä. Tässä viimeisessä kirjassa on palataan niiden 13 periaatteen pariin, mistä aiemminkin olen kirjoittanut yhden postauksen. Ja kohdasta "opi", löytyi sellainen kirjalista, että oksat pois.

Minun aidan alta meneminen on tällä kertaa sitä, että kerron teille tuon listan sisällön. Siinä on äkkiseltään hyvin monta kirjaa, jotka jotenkin sivuavat niitä seikkoja, joiden kanssa wicca tai noita saattaa tulla tekemisiin. Kaikki ovat tietenkin englanninkielisiä (paitsi Kalevalan saa suomeksikin), joten suomalaisista kirjoista vinkkaan itse alkuun Sinikka Piipon Kasvien salaiset voimat ja sitten sen Titus Hjelmin Mitä wicca on?-kirjan. Myös Virpi Raipala-Comierin luontoäidin kotiapteekki on mielenkiintoinen opus.

Laitan tähden (*) nimen perään niistä kirjoista, jotka itse omistan. Ihan vain omasta uteliaisuudestanikin. Nää on jaoteltu aihealuettain siten, että otsikot vastaavat tämän "temple of witchcraft"-sarjan asiasisältöjä.

Eikö ollut hirmuinen lista? Hirveää oli kirjoittaakin sitä. Tuosta voi napsia sitten itselleen lukuvinkkejä mielenkiinnon mukaan. Ai niin joo, ja Silver RavenWolfin the Solitary Witch on tosiaan kans ihan lukemisen arvoinen opus kuin myös Amber Laine Fisherin The Philosophy of Wicca.

Mutta huomaatte varmaan, että ei oikein pääse yli eikä ympäri siitä seikasta, että jos wiccaan haluaa perehtyä syvemmin, on parasta alkaa lukemaan kirjoja englanniksi. Jo pelkästään vertailemalla suomenkielisten ja suomennettujen teosten määrää esim. yllä olevaan listaan, on pakotettu tekemään tämän johtopäätöksen.
