Have you been wanting to know more about the Craft, but aren't sure where to start? We've got you!

This class will be an intro to the principles of Witchcraft/Wicca. You will learn a little bit about the history of the Craft, the God and Goddess along with the Wheel of the Year, as well as Full and New Moon significance. You will also learn the tools of a practicing witch and how to set up your altar/spell crafting space. The final class on April 8th falls on a New Moon and we will do a ritual together. Through this all we will be touching on symbolism and archetypes. 

There are plans for more classes in the fall as a continuation of the series, so stay tuned!

Teacher Bio:

Tia is a native Oregonian who began her journey with the Occult as a small child through her mother’s herb craft lore from the Alps of Switzerland. Sometime in high school she attempted to read the Christian Bible in-its-entirety, which was when she realized how she, as a divine feminine being, was missing. In college she began her active search for the Goddess. She has practiced Witchcraft since 1989, and has been a practicing Wiccan since 1996. In that time, she studied Wicca with a contemporary of Starkhawk and helped found the Magickal Garden Society of Jefferson, Oregon. She has also taught Wicca, created and led many circles, and helped create and lead ritual at Festivals. She has been deeply enriched by her on-going journey and is grateful to all of her teachers along this path. She's excited to share her knowledge with students who are trying to figure out where to begin, and to encourage their life-long curiosity around their own spiritual practices – whatever they may look like.
