Featured Article: The Best Audiobooks to Uncover the Magical World of the Occult


The word "occult" is used in books and movies to conjure up dark, scary subjects, but it's about much more than horror. Occultism is defined by supernatural beliefs and practices, such as magic, mysticism, and spirituality. Basically, the occult refers to happenings that are beyond the range of everyday experience and logical explanation or fall outside the scope of religion and science. We’ve curated a list of audiobooks to satisfy all levels of curiosity.

A decent Introduction

A Decent introduction to Paganism as seen through the eyes of the authors. I will say that the authors views of Judaism in the chapter on Satan/Evil is somewhat misinformed.

I love this book!

I have been reading and listening to various books on witchcraft. I would suggest this as a first read for anyone who is new or exploring Paganism. I also love the thought provoking journal activities. Well done.

Excellent introductory book on paganism that helped me understand concepts, ideas and ethics. This book helped me work through my concerns and understand myself better with respect to my personal beliefs.

If this is your chosen interest, this is your book.

The first chapter is just talking about her own background views. The second chapter is when it really gets into helping you follow and study this path. I very much enjoyed this book!! I soaked it all in.

The first book on my journey in my faith

I have been a pagan my whole like just didn't know it. I have had a hunger for more and I came across this book. Hearing Pam Ward little preview is what had drawn me to the book. While I love the book I didn't always agree with some of the Higginbotham's ideas. A great place to start, it gets you warmed up and hungry for more knowledge.
