Practical Magic by Nikki Van De Car is a good general introduction, as it talks a little about many different subjects: chakras, herbs and healing, magick and spells, horoscopes, tarot, palm reading and dreams. It is a little basic, though, and only really scratches the surface. However, it does go into more detail about chakras than The Little Book of Witchcraft by Astrid Carvel, and has been the only book I've read so far that gives some insight into the meaning behind the various celestial bodies and the houses in your astrological birth chart - which has helped with what I've been reading online. It also tells you how to make healing tinctures, herbal oils, and poultices, which was interesting. I'd say it generally goes well with reading The Little Book of Witchcraft.
