Since you write your own spells I would suggest The Element Encyclopedia of 5000 Spells: The Ultimate Reference Book for the Magical Arts by Judika Illes. Its a great reference to different types of spells and a good deal of historical context. Also its not the wishy washy content that some new Age books have these days. I would seriously call it a Grey Arts book (which is what spells are). I enjoy using it for reference and using some spells as models. It covers WA-BA and more taboo items like menstrual blood, semen, hair and nail clippings.

Judika Illes has several of these books together but this is by far my favorite "go to" book. Also its a free PDF download here: http://www.firstload.com/?ir=1&fn=encyc ... spells+pdf

I have some others I can suggest when I get to my bookcase and if I remember correctly there is a HUGE list of awesome books in another thread...its in educational talk....here! http://www.creepyhollows.com/phpBB3/vie ... 6&start=10 Wiccan Warrior Alex posted his list. I'm looking for those books now as well. (come on PDF reader!)

I'm in the same boat- relearning the basics and finding out where I'm going now. :thumbup:

Thank you very much everyone! and I see that there is a black magic reversal spell now- I'm going to check that out too
