This is being taught by the amazingly magickal Nikki Murphy!

 Intro to Witchcraft (6 part class)

 In this 6 part class we are exploring some basics of Witchcraft. This class won’t teach you any specific spells or procedures but will instead help give you some resources to make you a more confident witch. We are going over alters and sacred spaces, pulling energies from all of the elements and using that in spells, your sacred spaces and your daily self-care. We will discuss some strategies to find a spell for your individual need or to write one, how to gather supplies, how to time a spell, and what to do if it seems the spell isn’t working. Next we will talk about keeping a book of shadows and the importance of documenting your spiritual journey and all the ways you can do that; from ceremonially keeping a journal of handmade paper you anoint before every single writing session to having a voice memo on your cellphone where you recall your dreams. Then, we will dive into learning and accepting what magick is natural to you and how to play on your personal strengths and have a community of people with different specialties to help you in your practice. Lastly, we will talk about my favorite part of being a witch- making some magick in every single day. Stir some intention into your coffee, heal your own body in the bathtub, and know you’re creating a sacred space when you sweep the floor. We are all individually called to this craft, and all of the ways we need to practice will be a little bit different; through this class I hope to expose you to what I know works for the witches I know and to help give you some ideas and confidence in your own craft so you can find out what works for you.

Intro to Witchcraft Part Three: Spells In this session of the Intro to Witchcraft course we will discuss the basics of spell work. The most important part of a spell is clear intention and belief in your own magick. To me, a spell is an active prayer. We will talk about how to find a spell for a specific need and if you can’t find one- how to write one. We will look at the importance of using a spell that aligns exactly with your intention and is worded right for you. We will break down some of the fear and uncertainty about certain kinds of spells like hexes and love spells and talk about how there is always a way to ask for what you need from the universe that feels safe and moral to you. We will also discuss the process of doing a spell. Can you substitute an item listed for a spell you found? Can you change the wording of a spell? How does the moon and its phases often support the cycle of a spell? Can you do spells with other people and alone? Can you share spells you’ve done with other people? What if the spell you tried doesn’t seem to be working- can you try it again or modify it? How do you being a spell and how do you know and care for a spell when it is over? We will also discuss practicing some spell safety. Don’t start house fires. Don’t make bad decisions for your body like ingesting essential oils or fasting in unsafe ways. Don’t set an intention to harm others. Protect yourself/ those around you when doing spell work. Use your Gods and Goddesses and your intuition to guide your spell and stay in line with your highest good.
