Wiccan Apprentice Course- part 3/3 - Ritual Magic, Covens & Initiations

This is a deeper, extended covering of Wicca - an experiential course in 3 parts. It is still suitable for beginners, but each subject is covered in much greater depths, and includes meditations, pathworking, and magical / ritual work - to embed what you are learning!

This takes place over 3 consecutive Sundays in September. You don't have to do all of them.. (but if you did, it will form a cohesive deeper and practical experience of Wicca). You may attend one or more.
