my recommendation is www.ecauldron.com

Beware the tendency towards pontification and arrogance. But they largely know what they're talking about at least.

Thank you, Empathetic~Heart and Anise for all of the info and links. And thank you, Twisti for asking the question to begin with! I'm swimming in pagan literature and dialog here!

Agreed. This is a much better resource than most.

i also recommend witchvox, though it is a HUGE site and can be pretty intimidating to navigate, IMO.
my book recommendations, in no particular order, and based on several things, including my particular likes, and also simplicity of reading, and generality:
***Circle Round: raising kids in the goddess traditions... or some such....is the tag line, by Starhawk, Anne Hill, and....oh heck...Diane Baker? it's a kid's book but awesome for all.
***Book Of Shadows by Phyllis Curott. it's an autobiography of how a high-profile New York City attorney "came out" of the "broom closet" and her story of how she came to Wicca. an *excellent* read, and if you have/had anything to do with 12-step recovery, it reads remarkably like a recovery story.
***anything by Scott Cunningham
***Raymond Buckland's "Blue Book"-- i think it's actually called "Book of Witchcraft"-- the first few chapters include "history" (i say that in quotes because it's been disputed as "real", but i think most of it is valid)

for newbies, i think i would veer away from "recipe books" (how-to books on doing spells and creating rituals) at first, and read up on history and beliefs and what/why the holidays are, first.

HTH,
pamela

"Pagan Ways" by Gwydion O'Hara is a good, straightforward book. It gives a little of the history of all the Pagan faiths and explains the basics. HTH.

Contact your local bookstores. Here they have pagan groups which meet at Borders to discuss pagan life/theorys/etc.

Family friendly too.
