Are You New To Witchcraft?  

What comes After Books?

How do you learn about Witchcraft?  What comes after you've read the books?  What if you don't really understand what the books tried to explain?  What is the right way?

With over 20 years of experience as a Priest, and co-author of Invoking The Egyptian Gods, I can help you find what it is you are seeking.

The Traditional way to become a Witch has always been to join a Coven.  The Coven taught you everything you needed to know about Witchcraft, or simply The Craft, as it's often called, in a safe friendly environment.

 With the explosive growth of Wicca and Witchcraft, finding a group of people to learn from and work with, people you can trust, has become difficult, if not impossible.

It's not like you can go to the phone book, and look up Witches.  If you don't know how to find them, Witches can be nearly impossible to track down, even though they are probably all around you.  

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.

When I started in the late 1980's, there were only a few books available.  That meant that while there wasn't a lot out there, most everyone write with a single voice.  Now there are so many authors and even more books, each showing a completely different version of Witchcraft.  

It can be very confusing.

Get answers to your questions, and give answers to others' questions.

Become a member of the CyberWitchcraft Community.  Everyone has some knowledge they can share, and questions they need answers for. Find exactly what you're looking for here.  

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.

Now you have a way to get the answers.  Find the answers that suit you best, and use them!  

So you've looked 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 information as each other. 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 websites are quite willing to cast a spell for you, for only $29.95, and claim perfect results.  Usually these sites state that the Witch has 20 years or more experience, and can give you anything you want...for a price.  

I have over 20 years experience, and I don't know any Priest or Priestess worth the title, who would put up such a website.  They know, just as I do, that the best person to create and cast a spell, is the person who needs it.

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. We will teach you the how, and more importantly, the why of Witchcraft.  

If you have been on your Path for a while, you may still want to start with Beginning Witchcraft. You may find something there that you didn’t know, or that could help you better understand concepts you think you know.

The section on Advanced Witchcraft is more of an independent study. It goes into the theory and practice of the Craft.  There you will find more advanced rituals and techniques to enhance your basic Craft skills.

There are other sections of the site that you may find informative.  Be sure to sign up for the monthly newsletter, Witch Way.  It contains useful tips and ideas that don't appear on the website.  

I am continually adding new things to the site.   The Blog of Shadows will keep you up to date on everything happening here.

Blessed Be,

P.S. This is a large site with a massive amount of information. Don't try to learn it in a single visit. Take your time, and try to understand what you find here. That is how you discover the real power of Witchcraft.

If you think you're up to the challenge, it's time to start your lessons...
