The Beginner's Guide to the Occult: Understanding the History, Key Concepts, and Practices of the Supernatural by Deborah Lipp

informative lighthearted medium-paced

This is a wonderful little guided introduction to the occult. None of the topics in here go into overwhelming depth, but it gives you a good overview of many different subjects and disciplines. It also has a "further reading" recommendation list if anything specifically piques your interest!
