For spells, "Spells and How they work" by Janet and Stewart Farrar is a fine book.

For a more high magic approach, "Modern Magic" by Donald Michael Kraig is the best all round introduction to every sub topic, I would also recommend "The Essential Golden Dawn" by the Ciceros.

As for the history of magic there are many books out there which will cover that, in terms of modern magic as practiced widely by Wiccans, those who identify as witches etc. most of it has it's roots in Britain and a good book exploring these is "The book of English Magic" by Phillip Carr-Gromm.

Well i would also recommend, the Youtuber: TipToeChick

As well as ''where to park your broomstick'' -Lauren Manoy.

Their are also many valuable articles on this site.
