Reading Charmed
I've never actually seen Charmed - it's on my list if I ever finish Buffy (and Angel) - but it's recommended to me so often it must be good. The show "chronicles the conflicts and the love among three vastly different sisters and their need to come together to fulfill an ancient witchcraft prophecy" [via The WB].
First up is the Jennifer Crusie-edited Totally Charmed: Demons, Whitelighters and the Power of Three featuring essays including Will the Real Phoebe Please Stand Up? by Jennifer Dunne and “Witch-Lit” - A Season of Romance by Catherine Spangler. You can read an extract here.
The official guide is The Book of Three by Constance Burge which contains The Beginners Book of Wicca: a discussion of the basic tenets of Wicca and how they relate to the show; The Book of Shadows: a compilation of the spells used on each show; and The Book of Evil: a complete who's who of the various demons that appear in the show. And there's a second volume too.
There is, of course, also an unofficial and unauthorised guide: Triquetra by Keith Topping, containing the usual episode guides, mistakes and extras.
On the fiction side there is a series of novelisations of the show long enough to keep you going for months. The Power of Three: Being Enchanted Has Its Price by Constance Burge appears to be the first.
And if watching the ladies at work has given you a taste for all things Wiccan, you could try Charmed: The Book of Love Spells.

Interesting collection!
I love Buffy but always found Charmed irritating to the point of unwatchable. Of course, I'm probably missing the point, or something.

Charmed seems to be always on TV lately! I've watched the odd half an episode and it always seemed like good, campy fun- although i think I'd need to see it from the beginning to understand it all... I love pouty Rose Mcgowan, she always looks fab. x

CHARMED was entertaining - at least between Seasons 1-4. And it had its moments of excellent storytelling. But on the whole, it was mediocre in compare to shows like BUFFY and ANGEL.
