Back to the Grind!

So, my plans for bringing back Witchcraft Rewind got put on a temporary hiatus while my fiance and I both dealt with some medical issues.

However, in no way am I letting that stop me. In fact, I am writing this to you while taking a break from completing the first draft of the first lesson.

Bear in mind, the processes and information I include are highly personal. They are what I have learned and adapted to over now over 20 years of study. I haven't become a Coven leader or anything like that, only because I told myself that because I'm always learning, I had no right to teach anybody else.

It is my hope that here, by sharing my story and my journey, I can instill that understanding in others, no matter what spiritual path they are on. Spirituality by it's very nature is constantly in flux, and requires constant self-analysis, introspection, and an understanding of the changing world around us.

What I can teach, is a place to start. You may end up back where I began, or you may take what I have learned and experienced and take it even further (in which case, I urge you to share!)

So yes, I am behind schedule. I in no way wanted to be this far behind when I haven't even gotten running yet. However, I'm going to go easy on myself at this juncture and say I hope to have the whole thing (13 lessons) done and ready to go by Beltane. If I get enough information banked before then, I'll start posting early - but I don't want to get started and then leave you all hanging!

Until then, if you have any specific questions to start with then please feel free to comment and let me know. I'll be more than happy to update this blog with posts responding to reader questions!

Rewinding, re-imagining, re-working?

Even after I made the announcement that my blogging has moved to a new, and much more active location, I'm still getting significant traffic to this page.
So, this is what I'm going to do. In keeping with the spirit of this blog, I am going back to the beginning - to the basics of Witchcraft and Magic. Not in my own practice, as my practice is and constantly will be an ever-changing spectrum based on what works, what resonates, and what actually means something, but in theory and instruction. The basics that every aspiring Witch, magician, wizard, sorceress, etc. should start with as a foundation.

Essentially, this blog will serve as the basis for my "The 366 Day Year" course of study which will eventually be available at the Witch of the West Coast. Ultimately, it will be a mere sketch in comparison to what that course will offer, but it is a beginning - a place to start.

So, stick around. Even if you've already gone through the basics, sometimes it doesn't hurt to revisit them. The first "lesson" will be posted on or around Yule!
