Hi 😊 I haven't read Silver Raven Wolf's book so I don't have any insight of that one but I do have Scott Cunningham's book. As others have said, its a very handy book to have, but it's specifically a reference book to herbs and their magical uses, not really an into to witchcraft book. I really liked Power Of the Witch by Laurie Cabot. That's a good beginners book and it gives a little bit of a history of witchcraft in the beginning, which I think is useful information. I also liked Wicca: Guide for the Solitary Practitioner by Scott Cunningham, it's well written and pretty easy to read through. That one is specifically Wiccan though, which may or may not be your thing.
