There are many books currently available on the Craft and Paganism. It is useful to read as many as possible, both good and bad, in order to obtain a perspective on the Craft as a whole and where the Roebuck Tradition fits within it. The following list provides a sample of the ones that will help the student better understand our tradition.

Valiente, Doreen and Jones, Evan J.

** WITCHCRAFT: A TRADITION RENEWED

Evan John Jones and Doreen Valiente who were both members of The Clan of Tubal Cain actually wrote this book, John was our original contact for the Roebuck in England in 1982. In this work, they outlines the elements of a tradition similar to the one taught to the members of the Roebuck.
