Wie geht's, landunderwave. I've added you to the compass, it hasn't been very active of late, although I'm thinking of stirring the pot just a bit in the near future. Of course, you're free to do so if you like. Of the books on your list, Call of the Horned Piper is one I'm fond of, and Masks of Misrule is nice, although don't laugh too hard at Nigel's "Die Gabelreiterinnen" for "Male Witches," he is Englisch after all. The Pickingill Papers are alright for light entertainment but I'm not really finding them too interesting. Might I suggest Huson's "Devil's Picturebook" to you? While I don't agree with everything he says, Huson has some good ideas. Anything with "Solitary Eclectic" on it will be Kinderwicca, not that the other version is much better, if you ask me ( ... )

I grew up in a strict Lutheran family. As a matter of fact, once I turned 16 years old, it fell to me to drive Oma to Akron every sunday morning, so she could hear the German Service as I was the only grandson who'd kept his German sufficiently to keep up with the service. You and I have that in common, it seems ( ... )

Ich lebe 25 km westlich von Mannheim in der Nähe von Neustadt a.d. Wstr.
I'll look for the recommended books in the next month. Although I don't have any connection to Tarot as such.
I thought Traditional Witchcraft is about to be connected with your ancestors and the land around you, where you've been born?

>>>I did research on the owl, but I didn't know that it is a harsh teacher. In what way?

Tell me, just how soft a touch would you expect from Lilith or Hekate? *G*

>>>And what's wrong with Robin Artisson? (Just out of curiosity, haven't read a book of him so far, too. (I just don't have the money and the time at the moment. *sigh*).

Tony has never been trained or initiated. His stuff is nothing more than regurgitations of RJ Stewart and Andrew Chumbly. (The latter is well worth having if you can get your hands on it by the by.) But RA is little different than the online "hereditary tradition" of "arddu."
Speaking of those two, I can recommend some other reading for you:

By Standing Stone and Elder Tree - Gray
Underworld Initiation - Stewart
