Like any old practice or way of life, witchcraft has been around for centuries in its more modern forms, which means that there are a huge amount and variety of books on witchcraft. Libraries and book stores carry a large variety of titles by an equally large number of authors. Online outlets, such as amazon, also stock many different books on witchcraft, including some of the rarer titles.
The majority of outlets or libraries will carry books on folklore and mythology as well as the most popular type of witchcraft books, fantasy fiction. Most fiction books have very little to do with the actual practice of witchcraft and are simply tales designed to captivate a reader in a tale or story. The actual practice of witchcraft does not entail riding broomsticks or waving a magic wand around.
Traditional witchcraft books are not very common as this type of witchcraft is taught and learned on a one to one basis or by solo practitioners. You can find books on some aspects of this craft including those covering herbalism. This is an old craft but it is also practiced by modern day medicine which has opened it up and made such books more common. Books containing spell craft or potion making are still very rare though and such literature is often limited and costly.
Modern day witchcraft, often referred to as Wicca, is a more open practice and there are a number of titles that discuss the religion more openly. The book of shadows, a more modern take on traditional witchcraft and its book of spells known as a Grimoire, are available and do cover spells and magic.
The purchase of books on witchcraft is increasingly prevalent from online sources such as amazon where discounts are often available. There are also titles specifically made for online retail that are available as downloadable files that can be purchased quickly and securely.
