Here’s what you’ll learn

The Foundations of Wicca

From history, to philosophy, to the meaning of the Wheel of the year, Sabbats and esbats, you will learn what a witch does and honors.

The Foundations of Magick

From casting a magick circle, holding rituals, consecrating your ritual tools, and an introduction to divination and meditation techniques, you will explore all the facets of a well-rounded magickal education.

The Foundations of your Magickal Path

As you delve into the world of Wicca and Magick you will be asked to start gathering your personal tools, practice your new skills, and start keeping your book of shadows. This is the time you will also start opening to your witch power and intuition.

What’s Wicca, you ask?

Wicca is based on ancient traditions which spread across Europe. While specific traditions have been practiced for thousands of years, Wicca only formalized in the 1950’s. Wicca was developed in England during the first half of the 20th century and was introduced to the public in 1954 by Gerald Gardner, a retired British civil servant.

Wicca is often confused with witchcraft, but it isn’t solely the practice of witchcraft. There are some Wiccans who only worship the God and Goddess rather than perform magick or spellwork. Wicca is a religion in itself.

Wicca is also confused with Satanism, but nothing could be further from the truth. Wiccans believe in many gods and goddesses, as well as spirits from nature (like rocks and plants). We have no concepts like Satan or the devil in our religion.

Wicca is based on natural laws and love for self and others.
