Books:
A Book of Pagan Prayer. York Beach, ME: Red Wheel, Weiser, 2002.
There are two sections in this book. The first deals with prayer theory -- why we pray, how to write prayers, the significance of different postures, theology of offerings, etc. The second is a collection of around 500 prayers for such things as the seasons, life stages, and petitions.
Excerpts from reviews:
A classic of modern Pagan spirituality
--Ancient Order of Druids in America
[T]he book is one of the best Pagan books I've seen; it makes an excellent start at filling a gaping hole in Pagan literature. It does a particularly good job of straddling the boundaries of different Pagan religions -- something rarely seen by Pagan literature. In short, I would unabashedly recommend it to any Pagan wishing to improve their personal worship habits.
-- Jonobie Ford, The Cauldron

Reinventing Wicca. In creating Wicca, Gerald Gardner used the best scholarship of his day. What if he were to do it using the best scholarship of today? This book tears Wicca down to its basics, and then builds a new version, doing just that.
