Totally agree with this. I think you need to move on from “Wicca 101”-type of books. Here are a few recommendations:

### Historical Books

[**Drawing Down the Moon**](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B012HUEY7A/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B012HUEY7A&linkCode=as2&tag=350125g-20&linkId=a50a192ac3a43c45663e2ea9f988795b) by Margot Adler. It’s mostly a historical account but really useful for reference, I made a [video summary here](https://forum.spells8.com/t/5-lessons-from-drawing-down-the-moon-by-margot-adler/2179/4).

[**Triumph of the Moon**](https://amzn.to/3dK9tGr) by Ronald Hutton. Also mostly historical, with a very academic view.

[**Alex Sanders Lectures**](https://amzn.to/3cDubXa). Educational history of traditional Wicca.

### Worship

[**The Witches’ God**](https://amzn.to/2AcGcpa) by Janet and Stewart Farrar. A comprehensive dictionary of over 1000 gods from many world cultures, past and present.

[**Rites of Worship: A Neopagan Approach**](https://amzn.to/2MGS31G) by Isaac Bonewits. A guide with ceremonies and rituals for public and private services.

[**Deepening Witchcraft: Advancing Skills & Knowledge**](https://amzn.to/3f7jr4L) by Grey Cat. Mostly intermediate material for people advacing past the 101 stuff.

[**The Elements of Ritual**](https://amzn.to/2MHHMlQ) by Deborah Lipp. With deep focus on the Wiccan ritual, it goes to the core of practice and correspondences.

### Grimoires

[**Mastering Witchcraft: A Practical Guide for Witches, Warlocks & Covens**](https://amzn.to/3dJoSXD) by Paul Huson. Interesting non-Wiccan perspective on Witchcraft.

[**The Grimoire of Lady Sheba**](https://amzn.to/3dDmZLt) by Lady Sheba  
First published in 1974, this is a personal magickal workbook copied by hand from the time of her initiation into the Craft.

[**A Grimoire of Shadows: Witchcraft, Paganism, & Magick**](https://amzn.to/3h6kIuT) by Ed Fitch. The sourcebook from which a large number of Wiccan traditions have developed.

I have a few more recommendations over here: [Best Books for Beginner and Advanced Wiccans](https://spells8.com/topic/recommended-books-wicca/) 📚
