Discover Goddess and God aspects: Rather than go into each in depth, I will briefly touch on the many aspects of the God and Goddess, and you will then be able to choose 3 personal archetypes of each gender to learn more about. I figure why discuss Sky Goddess for a whole lesson if you are more drawn to the Earth Goddess. I will give you enough about each aspect to work with, but I feel it is better to study the ones you are drawn to in depth.

Learn about Elemental principles- Earth, Air, Fire, Water, Spirit, and what they mean and why we use them.

Get introducted to Magick…What magick is, why magick is used, and the proper ways to use it. There will not be any spells at this time.

You will be able to design you ideal ritual attire and tools, and an altar set up. Basically, If you could have any Athame, what would it look like. Mind you, I'm still looking for my perfect one, but I have a working one I use while I wait. I just want to see what kind of things you are going for.

You will learn the Wheel of the Year- Lunar Calendar, Esbats, Great Sabbats, Solar Calendar, Lesser Sabbats, and Seasonal Celebrations in Modern Society.

Not necessarily in that order. And remember, everything tends to be flavored with my view and sense of humor (or lack thereof). I offer you my knowledge, but no one is perfect. Please don’t take it as Gospel.

In addition to the above books, there are several books available on specific Traditions, and it will be helpful to you to read at least one book on your chosen Trad. Once we have covered the basics of the trads, you can let me know which one interests you, and I will provide you with a list of the books available on it.

If there is anything else you feel you would like to learn at anytime during any of these lessons, let me know. This is my outline, but these are your lessons. I want to make sure you learn what you want to. Any questions, just let me know. If you are unable to get any of these books at all, let me know. And if you have already covered any of these areas, let me know so I can test you out of them, and get you moving on to another area. Yes, this is like a class... but don't worry... I'm not a hard teacher... Take it at your pace, in your own time. I only test you to make sure you know what I taught.
