Goodly magical books and divination kits ring true: They can arm you with facts to oppose bigotry, ignorance, and persecution; spark inspiration that makes your life enticing to others; and banish boredom by providing further paths through their footnotes and bibliographies for you to explore magic's vastness to the end of your days. But for newcomers to magic and even experienced spellcrafters, it can be frustratingly difficult to find these gems amid the rubble of repetitious, shallow, misleading, and made-up product that dominates the marketplace.
