About Ostara

About Ostara Cover
", Easter, the Spring Equinox, Vernal (Spring) Equinox, Alban Eiler (Caledonii).

March 20 - 23 Northern Hemisphere


September 20 - 23 Southern Hemisphere

This is the official return of the young Goddess after her Winter hibernation. Traditionally celebrated on March 21st

THE SIMPLE FACTS


The Spring Equinox is the point of equilibrium - when light and darkness are in balance but the light is growing stronger. The balance is suspended just before spring bursts forth from winter. Night and day are of equal length at the equinox, the forces of male and female are also in balance. Ostara is a festival of balance and fertility. It is a celebration of birth and new life. A day when death has no power over the living.

Spring has arrived, and with it comes hope and warmth. Deep within the cold earth, seeds are beginning to sprout. In the damp fields, the livestock are preparing to give birth. In the forest, under a canopy of newly sprouted leaves, the animals of the wild ready their dens for the arrival of their young. Spring is here.

The Easter Bunny also is of Pagan origin, as are baskets of flowers. Brightly colored eggs represent the child within.

Traditionally, Ostara is a time for collecting wildflowers, walking in nature's beauty and cultivating herb gardens. Half fill a bowl with water and place a selection of flowers into it for display in a prominent position in your home.

This is the time to free yourself from anything in the past that is holding you back": "

Practising The Witchs Craft Real Magic Under A Southern Sky

Practising The Witchs Craft Real Magic Under A Southern Sky Cover

Book: Practising The Witchs Craft Real Magic Under A Southern Sky by Douglas Ezzy

This book contains the stories of individual Witches, but it is much more than personal stories. It contains some spells, but it is much more than a spell book. It describes some of the theory and history of Witchcraft, but it is much more than a theory book.

Telling the stories of ordinary people who have discovered that life is enchanted, this exploration of witchcraft presents the leaders of the movement and experienced practitioners and delves into what it really means to be a witch. Describing powerful rituals and moving magical encounters, these witches discuss working with natural forces, including sexuality and the seasons, and how they craft spells and personal rituals, and use incense and herbs. With insights from many different traditions including Wicca and Paganism, this guide celebrates the pleasures and mysteries of contemporary witchcraft.
This is a book about the practice of Witchcraft. Are there different types of Witches? What is it like when you first experience magic? What do Witches believe? How do Witches perform spells? What are the aims of Witchcraft rituals? How do you find other Witches to work with? What are the dangers involved in Witchcraft? What is it like to be a Witch? Why are women so interested in Witchcraft? This book answers these questions. Witches with many years experience tell stories of their own journeys to explain the essence and variety of contemporary Witchcraft. This is a book about Witchcraft written by Witches. There are a large number of Witches in Australia, many of whom have been practising for decades. This book describes the experiences of modern Witches in their own words. I have written my contribution to this book as an academic. I have spent many years studying Witchcraft, but I did not want to write about Witchcraft.

Rather, this book is written with Witches. Witches speak for themselves. Television and film present stereotypes of Witches as either evil people on the margins of society, or gorgeous young women obsessed with fighting demons. Neither of these images of Witchcraft is accurate. Some of the people in this book have university degrees, whereas others have educated themselves. Many work in professional jobs in the media, education, health, information technology and businesses of various types. There are also Witches living in the country on alternative-lifestyle farms and some have written chapters in this book. However, Witchcraft is a religion of the city as much as of the country.

The contributors to this book are Witches who are typically practitioners with years of practice and reflection. Many are leaders of the contemporary Australian Witchcraft movement. Others are relatively inexperienced in Witchcraft, describing it from the perspective of the newly initiated. The contributors represent the diversity of the contemporary Witchcraft movement, with representatives from most of the traditions and varieties of Witchcraft in Australia. I have usually found Witches to be generous people. I have been welcomed into their circles, and have shared many meals and warm cups of tea. I could not have put this book together without the support of these people, too numerous to thank, and who often prefer not to be named anyway. They know who they are. In particular, though, I would like to thank Ambriel and Hiraeth who first encouraged me to work on this book and suggested a list of chapter topics and contributors.

I would also like to thank Lewis, who was Practising the Witch’s Craft one of my first Pagan contacts and who has shown a sustained interest in my research. Witchcraft is a spirituality that celebrates life. I hope that this book goes some way to correcting the many misunderstandings about Witchcraft that still prevail in our society. I, as an academic, remain convinced that the development of a contemporary spirituality is one of the central social issues of our times.

The Athame Is A Masculine Tool

The Athame Is A Masculine Tool Image
The Athame, or ritual knife, represents the Will and the magical Power of the individual Witch, and is the primary working tool of the Craft. The edge represents the ability to make clear distinctions and to reach a firm conclusion; the point represents the power of focused action and the will to act decisively. With the Athame in your hand, you cannot be bound against your will.

The Athame is used to cast the circle, and to cut various sorts of openings in the circle: doorways for the coveners to enter or leave by, pentagrams for the invoking or banishing of elemental forces, portals for the passage of the astral body. To use the Athame, first attune your own energy field to the energy of the metal blade, then let the metal resonate to your will. This allows you to use the energy of the metal for casting the circle and cutting the openings, reserving your own personal energy for those things which only you can do.

It is also used in the Wine Blessing, where it is held by the Priestess to represent the power of the God, which she can call forth.

The Athame is a masculine tool associated with Air, representing freedom of action, though in some traditions it is associated with Fire to represent the Will. Its counterpart is the Chalice.

St Distaff Day

St Distaff Day Cover
THEMES: Work, Weaving, Destiny

SYMBOLS: Web, Spinning Wheel, Needle

PRESIDING GODDESS: Arachne, the Greek spider goddess, inspires positive changes in your destiny for the new year. Legend tells us that Arachne challenged Athena to a weaving contest and won. In anger, Athena destroyed the girl's tapestry. Arachne, grief-stricken, took her destiny in hand and turned herself into a spider, but she continues to use her weaving talents to spin and pattern the lives of mortals.

TO DO TODAY: According to lore, Saint Distaff, the patroness of weaving, was a fictional persona made up to mark the resumption of normal activity after the holidays. Instead of this imaginary figure, we turn to Arachne to help us take the strands of our fate in hand and begin weaving a year filled with goddess energy.

To direct your spiritual focus toward the goddess, wear something woven today, or display it proudly. If you have no such items, braid together three strands of thread or yarn, saying:

Arachne, bless this magic braid,

so on you my mind is staid.

Carry this as a charm to keep your thoughts and actions goddess-centered.

Finally, mend any work clothes in need or repairs to improve your job standing. As you make the final knot in a button or hem, bind the magic by saying:

This thread I wind,

The magic bind.

Visualize your professional goals as you work.

Broken But Not Fainting From Fear

Broken But Not Fainting From Fear
Handle see, we had an enormously odd series of "sporadic" bones in the hearsay. A variety of luggage of sporadic candid wrists or sporadic candid ankles (if my safeguard serves me entitlement) involving some scenic alluring world leaders.

The symbolism at the time was all-encompassing of a nature all that was departure on in the world that was prophetically information. We tried to document those luggage Taking part in and even free up some appraisal. Exceptionally, that post was in print in July 2009, or in this area a full see ago.

A see following, it's seems kind "fainting" is all the combustion now. Of course, that reminds me of this imaginative verse...

LUKE 21:26 (KJV) "Men's hearts imperfection them for worry, and for looking late those notes which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. "

The word "Faint" occurs 41 get older in 41 verses in the Ruler James Rough copy (KJV) of the Sanctified Bible.

AMOS 8:13 (KJV) "In that day shall the fair virgins and juvenile men unclear for drying out."MATTHEW 15:32 (KJV) T"hen Jesus called his disciples [unto him], and thought, I maintain offerings on the throng, for instance they dwell with me now three days, and maintain nothing to eat: and I hand down not send them ready fasting, lest they unclear in the way."Squeeze 8:3 (KJV) "And if I send them ready fasting to their own houses, they hand down unclear by the way: for divers of them came from far."

LUKE 18:1 (KJV) And he spake a tale unto them [to this end], that men call for customarily to pray, and not to faint;

HEBREWS 12:5 (KJV) "And ye maintain ancient times the catchphrase which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, scorn not thou the chastening of the Lady, nor unclear while thou art rebuked of him:"

The warning is important, right? If not, I suppose that those who at rest don't "get it" are the ones who won't get it until it's on their doorstep and staring them in the face becoming all too real, too fast to even allow them to achieve their recommendation. So be it! We've had higher than heaps time to fervently think up for the intended.

Here the in imitation of 2 weeks comrade, we've seen two alluring "fainting spells" caught on camera in very express settings. One involving a decked out army Common. One involving an donate booming CEO who's a expert of capitalism and affair.

The fundamental occurred 2 weeks ago on June 15th involving Common Patraeus who fainted at what time in the function of questioned by Senator McCain about the recovery in Afghanistan. The words that McCain spoken in words of one syllable prior Petraeus fainted?

MCCAIN: "I am unstable about the warning we are dispensing in the district about whether we're actually departure to hinder or not, and whether we're departure to do what's chief to make the grade, if at all possible than set an oppressive timeline, and the best way to..."

Common PATRAEUS FAINTS To the same degree For instance QUESTIONED BY SENATOR MCCAIN

GE Maneuver Deal out Common sense COLLAPSES Hip BIDEN Discourse

Biden's closing remarks? Yes, he actually continued with his closing interpretation as if nothing happened.

"AS CAMPBELL WAS Engaged Notwithstanding, BIDEN REMARKED: "SO Folks, AS MY GRANDFATHER Used TO SAY, 'KEEP THE Prospect.'"

The audacity! Core, he seminar about how the occupational that doesn't innovate hand down on the whole kill time, and I knock that and suppose about how it's the company/CEO/nation/group/individual that doesn't rely on God for all notes -- if at all possible than their own sea everyday job -- that hand down on the whole kill time and die. After that, I knock his closing notes to "rest the expectation" and picture to scream "HYPOCRITE!" at him!

And residents say that God isn't very much complex in our daily lives. But what (if anything) is in the function of "communicated" inside the length of the symbolism? I maintain a clue I picture to separate.

Well, if we connect with at what Gibby62 wrote squeeze see in rejoinder to the sporadic Certainty Ankle, Crowd, and Wrist stories...

"My concern was the the keep and goats judgement (keep to the candid, goats to the departed) and that equally it was their candid top that was sporadic, followed by they require goats or anti-christ for instance Christ sits at the candid hand of the shock. The candid way is sporadic."

So, in a understanding, a "End Opening" was going on (has or else occurred). Now, perhaps the warning is to Care for that rift -- to club to the focus to "Upgrade OUT OF HER, MY People" -- by pursuing holiness and by allowing the Sanctified Poltergeist to clasp out His sanctifying work in your life.

I don't know, I can be WAY OFF Stop with that one and it can in words of one syllable be me unsound to lack of discipline that interpretation. While all, the in imitation of snag weeks I've been encouraged to follow holiness higher so than ever prior. Yes, we all understanding that Blessed Judgment/Divine What's coming to you is at hand. If so, doesn't that mean that no higher than ever we push to rest His Murmur produce and His Son even closer?

In fact, I've been convicted by our push -- my push -- to follow holiness even higher than I do candid now. Getting saved, in the function of uneducated another time, isn't a finish line - it's a starting gun! Why don't we view it as such though? I offer to you that it's for instance we don't very idolize and employment the Murmur of God kind we destitution, or kind we say we do.

How can those who occupy to be lovers of Christ, lovers of His Sanctified Murmur, not now what the facsimile apparently says about living the Christian behavior and allowing the Sanctified Poltergeist to perform sanctification in your life from the show He enters it? It's one thing to make Jesus Christ your Savior, but He should be your Lady (the Lady of your life) too!

Gawk, I don't picture to nearby the drawing that I'm in some way any disturb than those I'm distribution this warning with. Hardly! This is as future for me as it is for any person who's listening. In addition, self-righteousness is not courtesy, right?

It's comical, and I'm customarily overwhelmed at how the Lady orchestrates what I attraction "fastidious mysteries" to declare us He's present-day, and that He's sympathetic about us at all get older. The relaxed of this post is a artifice class.

This in imitation of week, as I struggled with notes, and willful this idea of what it avenue to "follow holiness", I usual one of those customary fervent presumptuous via email -- or so I concern it was typical! No, this one was anything but!

It was harshly called "Bible Vs Burrow Appeal" and I'd kind to separate it with you for instance I conquer it hand down compass reading some of you the way it impacted me.

"Habitually be bowled over what would exceed if we treated our Bible kind we delicacy our crack phone? Being if we carried it cry in our purses or pockets? Being if we flipped the length of it frequent get older a day? Being if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it? Being if we recycled it to be messages from the text? Being if we treated it kind we couldn't cottage deficient it? Being if we gave it to Feel sorry for yourself as gifts? Being if we recycled it while we traveled? Being if we recycled it in covering of emergency? This is whatever thing to make you go...hmmm...everyplace is my Bible? Oh, and one higher thing. Not the same our crack cell phone, we don't maintain to unsettle about our Bible in the function of disconnected for instance Jesus or else rewarded the tally. Makes you cut back and suppose about your priorities, doesn't it? And best of all? No dropped calls! At the same time as Jesus died on the beside yourself, he was attitude of you!"

How cool is that? How true is that though? Annoy holiness. That's what we push to do candid now.

No, not as some garbage "works-based" theology! I'm not vernacular about recovery here! I'm vernacular about allowing the Sanctified Poltergeist to work in your life, I'm vernacular about making Jesus Christ your Lady, and not in words of one syllable your Savior, I'm vernacular about living out your expectation on a moment-to-moment argument so that it's not sea lip service. Annoy holiness.

I research paper the spiritual juxtaposition of these 2 break groups of akin hearsay stories that are about a see sophomoric from one several and I am in order struck by what I interpret to be the piercing warning for the Participate of Christ in the days, weeks, and months fixed...

As Christians, we are all sporadic hearted in our sins, but for instance we maintain Jesus Christ we hand down not unclear from worry in rejoinder to what's coming upon the earth. Shield sporadic, exist put down, exist strong in Him by battle worry with faith!

Why? On what argument can we zone that with any kind of authority? How about the Lonely power that matters in this life?

LUKE 21:36 (KJV) "Supervise ye followed by, and pray customarily, that ye may be accounted key to escape all these notes that shall come to travel document, and to stand prior the Son of man."

MATTHEW 10:28 (KJV) "And worry not them which gun down the remains, but are not efficient to gun down the soul: but if at all possible worry him which is efficient to drivel each one place and remains in hell."

Bracket looking up! MARANATHA!

Wicca Beliefs And Practices

Wicca Beliefs And Practices Cover

Book: Wicca Beliefs And Practices by Anonymous

There are a wide variety of beliefs and practices in modern day Wicca. However, despite the pluralism and diversity, distinct principles derived from Gardnerian Wicca are common to most modern witches.

Beliefs will often be mixed with a combination of mystical traditions, Celtic or Norse paganism, Greek and Roman goddess worship, ancient Egyptian spirituality, Eastern Shamanism, or even Native American spiritual practices depending on the group. All of these groups revere nature, support peace, and believe society cannot be at peace if we are out of harmony with nature or are mistreating Mother Earth (also known as Gaia, the name of a pagan goddess given to Earth). This aspect of Wicca is very similar to the New Age Religion supported by the United Nations and many of it's members, NGO's and leaders. Divination techniques such as tarot cards, astrology, runes, the I Ching (from Chinese Taoism), clairvoyant or psychic readings, candle magick and other occult practices are not only common but encouraged by most groups.

So You Do Not Have Witch Tools

So You Do Not Have Witch Tools Cover You don't need tools to perform rituals or magic.

You want to cast a circle but don't have an athame or wand, use your finger. After all, neither of these tools has any power of their own. They are simply conduits for your own energy.

Calling the quarters...you don't have any thing to represent them? No problem, visualize what you feel represents each element in its quarter. For example, a bonfire in the south.

Candles must be charged with energy for the purpose of the spell. You can simply send the energy out yourself without using a candle. The same goes for incense.

You don't have anything to represent the Lord and Lady? Do you honestly think that they will forsake your request because you don't have candles or figurines to represent them? Pray, they will hear.

As for an altar, anything can serve as one, you don't need a permanent altar. In fact you don't really need one at all. The altar holds your tools and you can do an entire ritual or spell without any tools.

The tools are simply a way to put you in the frame of mind to do the work.

Visualizations For The Circle Of Stones

Visualizations For The Circle Of Stones Cover
If you wish, you can back up the circle casting with the following visualizations as you form the circle itself:

Prepare as usual. Approach the North and set the North Stone (or the candle) on the ground. Then, visualize a stone slab standing upright two feet to the left of and behind the North Stone. Visualize this as being bluish-grey, two feet wide, two feet thick and six feet tall. This stone represents the Goddess.

When the stone is really there- in your visualization- create another stone of the same size and color two feet to the right of and behind the North Stone. This represents the God.

Now visualize a capstone resting on top of the two upright stones. It is about two feet by two feet by six feet. This represents The One before the Goddess and God, the source of all power and magick. The Northern Trilithon is now complete.

The stones form an archway, a symbol of the gateway to the realm of the element of Earth.

Firmly visualize this, then gaze through the arch formed by the stones. See the greenish haze of the Earth energy.

Repeat the entire procedure to the East, South and West. Visualize the appropriate elemental color within each trilithon.

Now purify salt and water, cast the circle as usual, and carry around the salt, censer, candle and water.

As you approach each quarter to call its Spirit of the Stone, see the trilithon firmly in your mind. Visualize it in all its Pagan splendor. See the elemental hazes within them, boiling and writhing in unmanifestedness. Stretch out with your feelings; sense the arrival of the spirit of each stone, then go on to the next.

With practice this comes easily, but such visualizations are never necessary.

Witchcraft And Wicca

Witchcraft And Wicca Cover Traditonal witchcraft or wicca is a pagan religion. It is thought to be one of the oldest and newest religions. The reason they call it the newest is because it is constantly growing. Like the different denominations of Christianity, Witchcraft has many different covens and ideas how to practise it. Though the old Traditional Witchcraft covens still exist there are now covens that just have all female or male members. The Temple of Diana is mostly made up of feminist lesbians, though bisexual and heterosexual women are allowed. Also there is a coven called The Radical Faeries that solely comprises of male homosexuals.

Mankind throughout the ages has been practising witchcraft/paganism. Before the rise of the monotheistic religions - Zoroastrian, Judo/Christian - etc.- mankind believed in the nature spirits and the gods. These gods symbolized fertility and the enduring forces of nature.

In Palaeolithic times man was a nomadic hunter. He lived in caves and relied on his ability to hunt and kill fresh meat for his daily feast. In winter, when all the fruits and nuts became scarce, man's skill as a hunter was even more important. This is one of the reasons he would dress in animal skins and pray to the Horned God to make him a skilful hunter. Many caves in France have crude stone age paintings of a man dressed in animal skins. He needed the Horned God's help in catching fast animals such as elks or boars.

In the Neolithic era mankind changed from being nomadic hunters and started to settle down and farm. Now that they had started to cultivate crops, it was important for them to ensure a bounteous harvest. So they started to pray to Gaia, Diana, Mother Earth, etc. for a plentiful harvest.

Different cultures have other names for the Wicca Horned God and Mother Earth. In Saxon paganism its Wooden and Freya. In Celtic paganism they have Cernunnos and the Matres, a triple mother goddess. The Horned God is also known as the Green Man. These different goddess' and gods basically are all representations of each other and were worshipped by the people for the same reason - fertility.

When Christianity came to Europe the old pagan religion was almost stamped out. It was almost wiped out because all the old pagan sites and their sabbats were taken over by the invading Christians. The reason we celebrate Christmas on 25th December is because in the old witchcraft calendar Yule was celebrated on 21st December and represented festivities, rejoicing, decorating the house and putting up a tree to celebrate the enduring forces of nature.

Three years after the Witchcraft Act had been repealed in 1951, Gerald Gardner (1884-1964), an English civil servant and amateur anthropologist, wrote a book "Witchcraft Today". In the book he claims that Wicca is a pre-Christian pagan witch cult. Prior to starting his own coven, he had been initiated into a coven in the New Forest. After "Witchcraft Today" was published a new interest in witchcraft came about in England.

There are now many followers of traditional witchcraft, especially in America and Britain. One of the reasons people practise witchcraft is because it is a none restrictive religion. It does not have a heaven or hell nor it does not thrown on the sexual union of two consenting adults. Witches are also very moral. They believe in looking after their enviornment and the creatures that inhabit it.

Wiccan Spells

Wiccan Spells Cover Wiccan Spells

Spells are used in witchcraft to channel the power of the wiccan God and Goddess to initiate positive change and for resolution of problems. It is important to know what phase the moon is in while practicing spells and witchcraft. For example, it is best to do spells of a banishing or destructive nature in the waning of the moon, when it is dark and the new moon is about to wane. Examples of such spells are the banishing of negative energy, hope for the end of illness and also agricultural rites, to ward off destructive insects.

Constructive spells
Spells of a constructive nature should be performed during the waxing of the moon, when the moon is full and bright. Examples of constructive spells would be spells for luck, fertility rites and protection spells. In witch craft, all spells should be practiced while in a positive mood, because this will achieve the best end for what you want. Many things are used in the practice of witchcraft as aids in spells, such as different herbs and leaves, as many of these things are believed to have magical properties. An example is the bay leaf, which is believed to have a lot of positive energy associated with it, and used often in witchcraft to invoke positive energy.

Consecration/Purification in Spells
Consecration is defined by the dictionary as to “dedicate formally to a religious or divine purpose.” Consecration must be practiced before any tool can be used in the practice of witchcraft. Consecration is a form of purification, and is done with salt, water and incense, which all stand for the five elements of nature – water, earth, fire, air and spirit. It is important that consecration to be used for witchcraft be done in a positive state of mind, as this incorporates the “spirit” part of the elements. Consecration is used in witchcraft to gain the approval of the God and Goddess for what they are about to practice.

Spell for Cleansing the body of Negative Energy
The following tools will be needed:
1 White Candle – this is representative of positive energy
1 Black Candle – this is representative of negative energy
1 Green Candle – this is representative of healing

Clear your mind and light the white candle. Say the following incantation:
“Mother Earth, Fire, Wind, Water and Spirit,
I ask thee to cleanse my body of all negative energies”

Light the black candle and say the same thing. After this light the green candle and say the following incantation:
“Mother Earth, Fire, Wind, Water and Spirit,
I ask thee to free and heal my body from all negative forces.
Blessed be!”
Sit back, and keep your mind clear for fifteen minutes. After this you should feel renewed and fresh.

Three Red Leaves Spell
This spell is used to protect the mind against things such as nightmares, negative thoughts and “invasions of evil”. First you must gather three red leaves from any tree, plant or bush. Lay them in a triangle on a flat surface. In the centre of the leaves, place an already lighted candle, and place a few drops of chrysanthemum oil on each leaf.

Say this incantation three times:
“Red leaves, gift from earth,
Birth to death and death to birth,
Keep all evil far away,
Day to night and night to day.”

Then extinguish the candle, and wrap the leaves in a white cloth or pouch. Place this near your bed within three feet of your head and it will stop all nightmares and negative thoughts.

Invocation of the Elements
Air, Fire, Water, Earth,
Elements of astral birth,
I call you now; attend to me!
In the Circle, rightly cast,
Safe from curse or blast,
I call you now, attend to me!

From cave and desert,sea and hill,
By wand, blade,and pentacle,
I call you now, attend to me!
This Is my will, so mote it be!

Finding The Right Teacher Or Coven

Finding The Right Teacher Or Coven Cover In the 1970's a seeker who wished to find a teacher or coven had a very
difficult time. There were few books and few metaphysical stores. Now we have
the opposite problem. There are hundreds of books and metaphysical stores and
many thousands of websites which will allclaim to be able to teach you Wicca.
The problem now is finding a legitimate, trained teacher amongst all of the
eager but unqualified ones. Anyone can create a website and claim to be a
teacher of Wicca. Be careful. Ask questions. A good teacher will welcome
questions about their background. Make a list of those things which are
important to you, and from that make a list a questions to ask potential
teachers.

Don't be in too much of a rush to find a teacher, and especially do not be in a
hurry to find a coven. There is much you can learn on your own through the
lessons on this website and from the books in the suggested reading list. One
thing you might try if you are anxious to make contact with other Wiccans is an
introductory class in Wicca - sometimes known as "Wicca 101". These classes are
given at many metaphysical book stores. You can find listings of groups and
stores offering such classes on The Witches Voice website. This type of class is
good if you are very new to Wicca and are just looking for the basics. It won't
hurt to take more than one introductory class given by different teachers. It
will help you get to know people and show you that there are many styles of
teaching and opinions and views of Wicca.

Where to find a teacher:

There is a saying, "When the time is right, the teacher will appear".
This is all well and good, but you can't expect them to materialize magically in
front of you. You will have to visit places where teachers are likely to be. As
suggested above metaphysical bookstores are a good place to start. Look in your
phone book under "Books" or "Psychics" (occult or metaphysical bookstores will
often offer tarot or psychic readings). If there is no metaphysical book store
in your town try the next town. Anyone serious about learning the craft is not
afraid to work or travel to gain knowledge. If there is no metaphysical store
anywhere near you try any large book store. Most will have their Wiccan books in
the "new age" section. You may meet other Wiccans there.

Pagan gatherings are a great place to meet other Wiccans including teachers. You
can find the times and locations of pagan gatherings through The Witches Voice
or at metaphysical stores.

Some of the questions you should ask a teacher of an introductory Wicca class:

• How long have you been teaching Wicca?
• Where did you learn the craft?
• Do you teach a particular tradition of Wicca?
• How many students have you taught?
• Are the names of your students confidential? (if this is important to you)
• How much do the classes cost? [There may be a small fee for classes to cover
the cost of handout materials and rent if the classes are held in a commercial
building. Most Wiccan teachers do not charge for their time teaching the
religion.]

Beyond the basics:

If you are interested in finding a teacher to take you beyond the basics you can
first check with the teacher of the introductory course. They may provide
additional instruction but may not advertise it publicly. You can also ask that
teacher where you can meet other Wiccan teachers and if they know of any who are
currently offering intermediate classes. You can also look for classes in
herbology, astrology, tarot, guided meditation or other topics which can help
you in your progress through Wicca.

While there are many good teachers of the craft there are also people who pass
themselves off as teachers but are unqualified or dishonest about their
intentions. In many cases you will have to trust your instincts when evaluating
a potential teacher. Unfortunately there are people who pass themselves off as
"coven leaders" or "teachers" who are on power trips or looking for sexual
conquests. One way you can avoid such situations is through studying Isaac
Bonewits' "Cult Danger Evaluation Frame". Try to talk with other people who have
studied with the teacher you are evaluating. It may be that the teacher is
perfectly qualified, but simply not the right teacher for you either because
they do not teach a style of Wicca you are interested in or there is a
personality conflict. Ask around the pagan community about the teacher - at
stores, on the net, at pagan gatherings. The network in the craft is good and
most likely you will find out whether the teacher has a good or bad reputation.

We also recommend reading the following pages on our website for more help in
evaluating teachers and classes: "Self Dedication and Initiation", "Traditional
vs. Non-Traditional Craft", and "What is a Coven?" . These two pages will help
you formulate questions to ask about a group or coven you are thinking of
joining. If you are thinking of joining a coven - especially a traditional coven
- do not expect to change anything once you are part of it. A coven must fit
100% - not 90% or even 95%.

Some Cautions:
Some of the more bizarre things we have heard of that have taken place in some
covens:

• Beware of anyone whom you do not know well that asks you to join a coven. This
is not a normal Wiccan practice. Students must ask to join and are only admitted
after months, or sometimes years, of study.

• Beware of any adult coven leader who accepts as a student or coven member,
anyone under the age of 18 without verified permission of the child's parent or
guardian. Most High Priests and High Priestesses will not take on students under
the age of 18 unless they are accompanied by a parent or guardian to all events.
You will occasionally find "covens" or study groups whose members are all under
the age of 18. We highly recommend that you do not involve yourself with such
groups unless you have permission from your parents and you know that the group
is either supervised by responsible adults, and/or the parents and guardians of
all members are aware of the existence of the group and condone its meetings.

• Beware of a teacher who seems to blame other people (students, assistants,
society) for their problems. A leader of a coven or group needs to take
responsibility for what happens in the group and to the group.

• Beware of teachers who require students to do house work for the High Priest
or High Priestess. This is not normal Wiccan practice. It is reasonable for a
High Priestess to ask for help setting up for ritual and cleaning up afterward.

• Some Wiccans have reported being beaten for failure to obey rules of the coven
or for failure to do housework. This is definitely not part of Wicca! If you are
a victim of such a practice do not hesitate to report it to the police. Wiccans,
like everyone else, are required to obey civil laws. No oath of secrecy binds
you from reporting such illegal acts.

• Beware of teachers who claim that you must have sex with them before beginning
your instruction. This is not normal Wiccan practice and should be a major
warning that the teacher is unscrupulous.

• There are some covens which do use actual sex for purposes of initiation. If
this is a concern to you make that very clear the High Priest and High
Priestess. You may be told that the initiation involves only a symbolic "Great
Rite" or symbolic sexual union between god and goddess. SPECIAL NOTE: There have
been reports of at least one coven which tells potential initiates the union
will be symbolic, and then the student is coerced or forced into actual sex with
the High Priest or High Priestess. THIS is not legitimate Wiccan practice! Any
forced sex should be reported to the police as well as to the Wiccan community.

Wiccan Ritual Robe

Wiccan Ritual Robe Cover Many wiccans and Pagans prefer to perform ceremonies and rituals in special robes. If you're part of a coven or group, your robe might have to be a certain color or style. In some traditions, the color of the robe indicates the level of training a practitioner has. For many people, donning the ritual robe is a way of separating themselves from the mundane business of everyday life -- it's a way of stepping into the ritual mindset, of walking from the mundane world into the magical world. Most people prefer to wear nothing at all under their ritual robe, but do what is comfortable for you.

It's not uncommon to have robes for the different seasons, symbolizing the turning Wheel of the Year. You can make one in blue for spring, green for summer, brown for fall, and white for winter -- or any other colors that symbolize the seasons for you. Do take the time to put some thought into your color selection -- it used to be that most Wiccans wore white robes, but many people prefer to use earth tones, because it's a way of establishing one's connection with nature. Some people choose to avoid black, because it sometimes has negative connotations, but use the color that feels right for you.

To make a basic robe, you can follow these simple steps. You'll need the following:

* A piece of material in the color of your choice -- make sure you select something that will be easy to sew and comfortable to wear. On the average, you'll need about three yards, but if you're heavyset or extra-tall, add in some more. A flat bedsheet is actually the perfect size for this.
* Scissors, thread, tailor's chalk, and a measuring tape.
* A sewing machine.
* A length of cord or light rope, approximately 6 feet long.

You'll need some help for this first step, because you need to measure yourself from wrist to wrist with your arms outstretched. Unless you have a third arm, get a friend to do this for you. This measurement will be Measurement A. Next, figure the distance from the nape of your neck to a point even with your ankle -- this will be Measurement B. Fold the fabric in half (if the material has a print on it, fold it with the pattern side in). Using your A and B measurements, cut out along the lines indicated in Figure 1, making a sort-of T-shape. Don't cut out along the top fold -- that's the part that will go along the top of the arms and shoulders.

Next, cut a hole for your head (X) at the center of Measurement A. Don't make it too big, or your robe will slide off your shoulders! On each side, sew along the underside of the sleeve, leaving an opening at Y for the arms (Figure 2). Then sew from the armpit down to the bottom of the robe. Turn your robe right-side out, try it on, and adjust it for length if needed.

Finally, add a cord around the waist, as shown in Figure 3. In some traditions the cord may be knotted to indicate degrees of training or education. In others, it acts simply as a belt to keep the robe from flapping around during ritual. You can also add trim, beadwork, or magical symbols to your robe. Personalize it, and make it yours. You may also wish to consecrate your robe before wearing it for the first time.
