Little Rituals Everywhere
Life is not only made up of a series of rituals, but these rituals empower, order, and in many cases, lay the groundwork for what is to come in our lives and on our paths. We'll be looking at ritual in a way that you may have never considered, exploring how it is instilled in the core moments of our world, how to recognize our personal rituals and utilize them for our own empowerment and growth.

The Art of War in Daily Life
In the 6th century BCE, a military treatise was written that governed all aspects of warfare called, "The Art of War." We will be looking at each of the thirteen aspects of warfare covered in the book and discuss how each is useful in everything from business to spirituality. We'll also be discussing the nature of the Warrior Spirit and how it is found (and often undernourished) in each of us - male and female alike.

Unless specifically noted otherwise, all classes, workshops, and events are offered free of charge. We do graciously accept donations, but that's a gift from you, not a requirement from us.

Lessons

We may be the only site (anywhere) that offers lessons in witchcraft and magick side-by-side with studies in The Bible and Christianity. As I mentioned in my bio, "On March 21, 1987, Jeffrey set off across the spiritual globe to seek the truths and common ground embraced by all religions." I didn't simply observe at each stop, but submerged myself in the system of belief, learning as much as I could of that faith's unique perspective. Only The Basics of Witchcraft course has been completed - and if you look around here, it's not a lack of interest in teaching the other material, simply the limitations of linear time. However, as time allows, there will be additional lessons presented here as well, including insights into Taoism, training in shamanism, and perspectives on living the Warrior Archetype.

A Year and a Day
A thirteen lesson journey in mystical spirituality. Lesson One appeared in June 2010 and the course will run through June 2011.

The First Cycle
An in-depth course in shamanic witchcraft (a blend of shamanism and modern paganism), intended to guide the student in occult philosophy and techniques and enable them to create their own unique personal practice.

The Bible: A New Perspective
If you're more comfortable with Christianity than you are with paganism, shamanism, witchcraft, and magick... well, I spent a good deal of time studying that as well. Here are insights into the Bible without the dogma of the modern Church attached to them.

Basics of Witchcraft
If you're just starting out on your path, the Basics of Witchcraft course is an excellent place to begin. Originally presented in 1999, the following thirteen lessons are intended to help the new practitioner develop a strong foundation in the Craft.
