Circle Of Three

Circle of Three (15 books in the series) is a teen series about an unlikely friendship between three teenage girls that arises out of a common interest: Wicca and Witchcraft. 

Together, the girls go through a year and a day of study, taking a class on Wicca put on by the local Pagan shop.

Circle of Three is different than many other teen books on Wicca or Witchcraft. 

Michael Thomas Ford actually made an effort to portray the Wiccan religion realistically. 

It was clear from the beginning that the author had experience with the Pagan community, as well as intricate understandings of both Wicca and the Craft.

The book was written by Michael Thomas Ford (photo below) under the pen name 'Isobel Bird'. 

Ford is a long-time member of the Pagan community and author credited with over 50 books. 

We really enjoyed these books, we've read them all twice and we may go for a round three eventually.

Well written by an intelligent author who understands the Pagan world.
