Hello everyone! I am new to really studying Wicca and am VERY interested in Kitchen magic, herbalism and Candle Magic. I also am currently living with a very low income and have really no money to spare as making ends meet at this point and time is not done without help. Could anyone recommend any  free online books, or online resources that are reliable and informative?

For kitchen witchery and herbal magic, I like this site to dip into every now and again.

That's a great site. I'm so tied to my books, I don't normally look online for info.

Sacred-texts.com has a lot of stuff, including an online book of shadows. The BoS has no real rhyme or reason to it, last I checked, but if you dig through it you might find something useful in there. Witcvox.com might also have helpful info. They have lots of essays posted. They don't edit their submissions, though, so sort with a grain of salt. Not everyone who expounds actually knows what they're talking about.

Check your public library system, too. Mine has a decent, if limited, selection of pagan stuff and tons of crafting and gardening books that could be helpful for what you're looking for.

I am totally dependant to finding all my information online, as I live in France and books on paganism, etc. are a bit difficult to find in libraries. One has to spend a great deal of time looking for them. A great proportion of these books are translations from the original English version. The one I have I ordered from online sellers, but I don't have very many. I do have mounds of bound copies (hand and printer) that I use as references over the years. For me it's preferrable to read books/online sources, study them, then make one's own conclusions.

It can be worth keeping a look out in charity shops, especially for books on herbalism and other alternative therapies. Charity shops and car boot sales etc can be good for other sorts of supplies too. Ebay can be very cheap for books and I would second the suggestion on libraries too.
