Are you new to Witchcraft, or have you read
books, and wonder what you missed?
The Traditional way to become a Witch has always been to join a Coven.
With the explosive growth of Wicca and Witchcraft, finding a group of
people to work with, especially people you can trust, has become
difficult, if not impossible.

So those who seek to become Witches have
come
to rely on books. Now don’t get me wrong, when I started out over
twenty years ago, I started with books. I bought and voraciously read
Buckland’s Complete Book of Witchcraft, and Starhawk’s Spiral Dance, as
well as many others.
The problem with books is that if you have
questions, there’s no one to ask. In the last few months, I have been
asked by many people, questions that seem to have simple enough
answers. The problem is that every author seems to have a different and
often contradictory way of doing the same things.
Those who seriously want to learn Witchcraft are
confused because they can’t seem to find simple answers to complex
questions. What is the correct
way to cast Circle, or create a spell? The questions seem simple
enough, but you find that everyone has a different answer.
Ridiculous claims by ridiculous people
So you look on the web for more information.
Unfortunately really good Witchcraft sites are few, and far between.
Most sites claiming to have information on Witchcraft are just looking
for a quick buck. They’re easy to spot. They want to sell you an
ancient Grimoire that has just been unearthed. (Yours for only
$19.95! But wait! There’s more...)
Sites that really are about Wicca or Witchcraft
just seem to regurgitate the same thing. It’s as if they copied each
other word for word. Most of these are of the Fluff Bunny
type. You know, those who read one or two books (After all if you've
read one book, you know it all, don't you?) and have decided they are
now a High Priest/ess.
Other sites might be more serious in nature, but
fail to give you any information that you haven't already read a
hundred times. You might be lucky enough to find another self
proclaimed (I always hated that term, would you call them self
proclaimed Catholics?) Witch, but do they know any more than you do?
Can you really learn from someone who is still just learning
themselves?
On this site, you won’t find any spells for sale.
I will not perform spells for you, for only $29.95 each, on my antique
birch wood altar handed down for generations, as some other sites claim
to do.
You won’t be able to buy any ancient Grimoires, of
which new ones seem to pop up every month. I will not make you promises
of great wealth and power, nor will I try to scare you with some
non-existent “Elder’s Council” that "...wants to keep your
Magick from working". If you want Faerie Tales, I’m sure
Bogdan & Giancarlo, or a hundred other “Witches” will gladly
take your money.
What you will find is unique,
original thoughts and ideas written by myself and others, that you
normally can't get outside a Coven environment. I will teach you the
how, and more importantly, the why of Witchcraft.

The Way of the Witch. Bringing the mind, body, and
soul into union.
If you are new to Witchcraft, start with Learning
Witchcraft. It will take you through the background of what Witchcraft
is, and how it is done. From basic information, to instruction on
everything needed to do ritual.
If you have been on your Path for a while, you may
still want to start with Learning Witchcraft. You may find something
there that you didn’t know, or that could help you better understand
concepts you do.
The section on Advanced Witchcraft is more of an
independent study. It goes into the theory and practice of the Craft,
as well as ways to enhance your basic Craft skills.
Since the last update of this
homepage:
If you've been here before, you'll notice that I've added a Blog to the
site. If you subscribe to it, you will get notice of all new articles,
and any changes. Click on the B.O.S.
(the Blog) button for details.
Other sections, and new articles will be added as
time passes. In each of them, I hope to have unique information that
you can't find anywhere else, from astrology to ritual, and everything
in between.
As with life itself, this site grows and evolves.
I am constantly writing new pages to put here, and adding to those
already up.
If you are a serious student, looking for
something deeper than what is offered anywhere else, you have found the
right place.
Blessed Be,
