BibliographyBefore you set off to purchase one of these books on-line please consider purchasing it through your local metaphysical shop. These stores are more than just a place to buy things -- they provide a safe gathering place for Pagans. Often these stores offer educational courses and services, like Reiki sessions and Tarot readings. Supporting your local store with your book purchases is a great way to let them know how much you appreciate their services, their presence in your community and, to be realistic, it will help the store owners stay in business. The local shop in my small town went out of business a couple of years ago -- and I miss it terribly. I miss the shopping, the supplies, and the good company I always found there. Also, while this Bibliography is primarily a Reference List for the items mentioned at Solitary-Pagan.net, there are some general references you might consider. Dunwich, Gerina. (2001).
