Course Description:

This course acts as an introduction to the Wiccan religion, describing its ancient origins and explaining Wiccan beliefs, ethics, rituals, and holidays. You will learn what it means to live as a contemporary Wiccan and how to worship alone or with a group. 

Many people who are at the beginning stage of their journey can sometimes feel overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information that is available about Wicca. I have written this course in order to make the process simple and smooth, giving you the confidence to move forward on your own path.

• Understand the definition of both Wicca and Witchcraft and how they relate to each other.
