On pow-wow, sadly I don't have any recommendations. I know Silver has a pretty strong following around here, no likely due to coven ties, but I am simply not a fan. 

 

Isn't pow wow a native american tradition?

Okay, don't laugh, but I have a question on a book. I'm thinking of
getting Silver RavenWolf's "Witch's Notebook." I like RavenWolf and
have read several of her books already, so know she's sometimes a
little bit out there.

I'm looking for a good lesson book as a guide and, like I said, I
like her books. However --- having read her, I know she might not be
the best choice out there. However, I'm trying to learn Pow-wow and
the resources are slim and she's the best on that subject.

So...book recommendations? What are some thoughts?

Thank you!!!!!

While it is commonplace to associate Witchcraft with spells and
herbal remedies, it's not every day you hear a witch not only
proclaim that the premise of magick lies in quantum physics, but
then go on to describe what quantum physics is and how magick is its
natural function. RavenWolf, writer and lifelong practitioner of the
Craft, offers readers a window into her personal chronicles about
becoming a witch, enlivening these with fascinating explanations
about the relationship between Wicca and Zen Buddhism, instructions
for incorporating symbols from traditional Pennsylvania Dutch
quilting patterns into spells, and a discussion of how belief in the
Saints is similar to the Wiccan practice of "walking with spirits."
Designed as a five-month study guide for embarking on a spiritual
journey, RavenWolf guides readers step by step and with painstaking
(though necessary) detail through the central rituals within Wicca,
consistently reassuring readers with her depth of knowledge and
personal experience. While most of the time her prose is delightful
and inviting, (filled with insights like: "Witchcraft is divine
alchemy—a philosopher's stone for the modern world") it occasionally
digresses into overly casual language that detracts from the general
flow. Overall, RavenWolf has written a wonderful guidebook for
readers who are serious about beginning a Wiccan spiritual journey,
complete with an extensive herbal and spell guide. (May)

Book Description
What if you could peek inside the journal of a skilled and powerful
Wiccan and read all about her exciting forays into the Craft? What
if that Witch was the ever-popular Silver RavenWolf?
Silver's own pearls of wisdom gained along the bumpy road to
spiritual enlightenment can be found in A Witch's Notebook. This
hands-on guide is designed to work from moon to moon-leading
students through five months of spiritual advancement. In discussing
cleansing, sacred symbols, renewed spirituality, and magickal
ingredients, Silver urges Wiccans to step outside the usual confines
of Witchcraft and explore other belief systems. This book also
includes exercises, spells, and herbal information to assist in
forging one's own unique spiritual path.
