Anyone know any good books on Witchcraft?

Friend of mine is researching the topic and asked for a few good books on it. Anyone who knows anything that I can pass on to her - let me know.

Thanks!

Only one could think of was Margot Adler's "Drawing Down the Moon".

She's considering writing a novel that does what was recently attempted by the British series "Hex" but better. (The series tackled witchcraft but failed to create a mythology - that's the problem with so many tv shows, they don't bother to research first.)

So I think what she is probably hunting is history, magical practices, and folklore/legends.

I'll give Whedon credit - I think they actually did research it a bit, since Willow clearly just practices Witchcraft and is not a wicca at first, and Tara is a Wicca. But hard to tell.

I did research it several years ago - but concentrated mostly on Druidism, which is quite different, and Witchcraft (from the political/historical standpoint)as well as Wicca, but not the magical practices per se.

Thanks for the suggestions! Very helpful. Will pass them on.
