Course Outline

  • What Wicca Is and Is Not / Our Beliefs
  • Principles / Ethics / Philosophy (Three-fold, 13 Principles, etc.)
  • History of Wicca (European, American, Burning Times, Noted Pagans)
  • Meditation
  • Working with Energy
  • The God -Wheel of the Year - Sabbats

Please expect written homework assignments, usually not exceeding a few paragraphs (one sheet of paper). At the end of the course there is a two-part exam - Part I is take home and Part II is given in class (about 30-45 min long). Upon successful completion the student is presented with a Certificate of Completion of Wicca 101, and a few gifts to get started. This presentation is done at the NEC Open Sabbat celebration nearest to completion of the course.

This is not a "fluffy-bunny" course. In teaching Wicca 101 I learn from my students as they learn from me. Classes are kept small to allow for discussion. I have no expectations as to what path one may choose - that is a personal decision each of us makes.

If you are interested in taking this course please  complete and submit a course application to Linda Hanley by electronic or postal mail.

Blessed Be,
Linda Hanley, Executive Director
