So... You Want to be a Witch?

When I decided the time had come to discontinue the "So...You want to be a Witch?" courses that I had designed and run from a large UK web site for almost 3 years - I was inundated. Emails, messages, people speaking to friends of mine, posting on the forums, and asking in chat rooms... all to know if and when I would be running the course again, and where from. I knew they had been popular from the response and thanks I had received while each course ran through, but was not prepared for the level of interest that continued long after I had stopped.

It is a basic introductory course in Witchcraft, for those who are new to these paths and wish to gain further knowledge and interaction than can be found through reading alone. There are 9 written modules, exercises to complete through each one, and regular feedback from your course mentor.

Upon registration you will receive a welcome and introductory pack, containing your personal course ID number, some basic groundwork information, initial exercises to complete, and all relevant receipts, instructions, and contact details. Course members also receive a 15% discount if they wish to purchase a copy of Irish Witchcraft from an Irish Witch by simply quoting their name and course ID number when ordering (applies to signed copies purchased through this site only). Once you have returned the exercises from your registration pack, the course will proceed on a schedule which suits you personally. You work through each module and return the completed exercises at the end. Time limits are recommended for the sake of self discipline and efficiency, but you can take it at your own pace if necessary. If anything you receive or experience raises questions or concerns, you are encouraged to keep a note of them, and continue on with the work and study. If they are still present by the time you have completed the work which was assigned with the module, your course mentor will happily review and address your questions, as well as providing feedback on all of your work, before moving on to the next module. When all are complete, there will be a final two way review and assessment, during which you may relate your experiences and opinion of the course. Besides your final overall progress report, you will receive a certificate of completion by post.

We must make it clear that completing this course does not automatically make you a Witch. Though you receive a certificate of completion and a final review of your overall progress once you're done, no degree or status is conferred on you simply because you did the course. Lora O'Brien (nor anybody else for that matter) cannot and would not turn you into into a witch of any description by means of post or email. That, as with most worthwhile things, is entirely your responsibility.

What the course will do is give you a clear understand of what it means, and what it takes, to be a Witch. The exercises and research you will do as part of it stimulate your own growth and development, and the feedback you receive will help by providing perspective and advice on your progress from a Priestess and Witch with many years teaching experience.
