Wicca, Witchcraft & Magick: The Essentials

Throughout the world the persons who practice magick are called by many names; Wiccan, Pagan, Witch and the use of their energy has many references, Wicca, the Craft, Magick, Magic, Occult to name a few. I have dedicated my life to learn Magick, Witchcraft Myth and a Pagan lifestyle. The time has now come for me to become a Witchcraft/Pagan teacher and to pass on my knowledge of Magick in Witchcraft and Wicca through magick classes. My class Witchcraft, Debunk the Myths, Learn the Essentials of the Craft is for the newcomer exploring the path of the Old Religion and for the practitioners as a refresher to humbler beginnings. No hype or fantastic tales. No spells in 5 easy lessons. There is much to the ways of the Craft and with the basic groundwork, one can responsibly and successfully work their own magick. Years of study including solitary and coven work; practice, success and sometimes failure (we learn from our mistakes) I bring to share with you. Please join me as the presentation I have for you will prove enlightening, invaluable and will be useful in any tradition you choose to follow. The real thing, from a real Witch. Blessed Be!
