Cyber Cauldron

Welcome to the cyber cauldron school of eclectic witchcraft.

So the first question is what is eclectic witchcraft and how can I learn it? The fact is unlike defined paths like Wicca eclectic paths are very personal and really allow the individual to seek out the divine in a personal way and develop their own path worshipping and practicing magicks, through a simple framework.

Now since my formal training is Wicca many of the practices do have a Wiccan flare but will be mixed with northern tradition, shamanic practices, dragon magicks and my own mix of personal insights and developments.

I hope to provide a course that can be completed in a single year (well 13 moons), which once complete can be wrapped in to a book and sold.

So if you want to attend the school feel free just work through the lessons as they are set you will need a blank book in which to write your exercises and results you can buy a fancy BOS from our store but if your cash is limited a A4 note pad and a ring binder will do or you can even become a true cyber pagan and create a cyber book of shadows.

I will try to keep the learning as free as possible but you will need candles, incense etc from time to time.

Over the last year I have spent time seeking the basic resources for everyone to complete this course.

Over the next 13 moons Starting at the next new moon June 1 2011 (time of new moon 21:03) we will start the first of 13 lessons along the path of eclectic paganism
