the Craft

This course is designed for anyone with a calling towards the 'Old Ways'.
From Wands to Witch trials, Herbs to Healing this 6 week programme will give you the knowledge needed to release your inner Witch.

What you'll learn
Part 1 - The History of Witchcraft
-
Ancient Magic - we begin when records began around 2 BCE and move through ancient history to 1324 AD learning about 3 key icons of Ancient Magic - Medusa, The Witch of Endor and Petronella de Meath. Who were they? What did they represent and what can we learn from their power?
-
Folk Magic - we will then delve into the ways of the 'cunning folk' by exploring the role of wise folk, healers and herbalists between the 14th - 16th century, discovering lost knowledge and much forgotten remedies.
-
The Witch Trials - The 17th century was a dark time for Witches. We will examine the theories and beliefs of King James I, read key sections of Malleus Maleficarum 'The Hammer of Witches', learn more about The Witchfinder General Matthew Hopkins and the end of Witch hunting.


Part 2 - Practical Magic
-
Tools of the Craft - Understanding and effectively working with athames, wands, cauldrons, staffs and more.
-
The Elements - Working with the powers of Earth, Air, Fire and Water to enhance your magical potential.
-
Altars & Circles - Crafting sacred spaces for personal rituals and group gatherings.
