Why? Well, it is literally for beginners! This book guides you through the various types of Pagan religions, deities, beliefs, and rituals. Starting here will set you up well for the following suggestions.

The Witch-ionary

Deb Robinson

Depending on who you ask, Paganism and witchcraft are sorta different and sorta similar. I see them as separate but often overlapping. I suggest this book to Pagans, even if it is aimed at witchy folks, because it is loaded with terminology beginner Pagans will also come across as they continue their journey.

Pagan Religions in 5 Minutes

Suzanne Owen (Editor) and Angela Puca (Editor)

Link

Despite the 70 chapters being quite snappy, I felt it provided an awesome amount of breadth. With several scholars contributing to the text, you get a great variety of academic opinions.

Pagans and The Law

Dana D. Eilers

Link

With the current turbulence in the American government and political sphere, it is especially essential for Pagans to be equipped with knowledge of the law. The author includes a range of legal challenges you may face with case examples. This book should be high on your to-read pile. Knowing your rights in a time like this is critical!
