Craft & Magic - beginners Course & workshops 2009

 Wicca & Witchcraft is a mystery tradition and best learnt experientially in an apprenticeship capacity in training covens. Our workshops/courses are now being re-designed with this in mind. In 2009, we will be running Introduction / craft & magic courses as 1-day or 2-day weekend courses (non-residential). In addition, will be starting an Outdoor experiential witchcraft course in spring’09. .

Details will be posted in March’09.  

The lead facilitator of these courses is Mani- initiated High Priest of the Craft with over 10 years experience of private group and public magical & ritual workings. As well as experience of Coven craft, Mani has formed and ran an outdoor shamanic ritual group `Hern’s Tribe’ for 4 years, then ritual workings with the river Thames in `Tamesa Lunar Circle’ for 2 years (co-founded with April), and now runs training courses & workshops.
