A Witchcraft Primer presented by the Druidic Craft of the Wise

https://www.meetup.com/Willamette-Earth-Based-Spirituality/messages/boards/thread/36964902

The class will begin on August 21 in downtown Eugene. This is a basic class where we focus on foundational Craft concepts in a non-tradition specific way. If you are interested, please contact me right away @ Maevedcw@yahoo.com. Seats are limited. :)

This twelve week course provides foundational information and is not specific to any one particular tradition of the Craft. It is an overview of basic "common practice" concepts. This class is especially wonderful for those who would like to bridge the gap between "reading about it" and practicing.
