Learning Hedgecraft
This question has come to me either through email, PM, Facebook or on the forum so I thought it was time for a quick post.
How do I train in Hedgewitchery? How does one learn Hedgewitchery?
As Hedgewitchery is such a personal Path it is hard to tell someone how to find formal training. After all everyone is going to practice somewhat differently.
First, you might be lucky enough to find a teacher or another Hedgewitch to train and/or practice with. Of course we are all, always, students. For example I can only teach what I know, share what I have experienced and explain the mistakes I have made. My personal tailoring of Hedgewitchery may not be exactly what you are looking for either, just as if I met another Hedgewitch who has more experienced than I, there might be much of her Path that does not resonate with me. Some Hedgewitches are more interested in herbalism and botany, while I am more interested in animal healing and animal husbandry than others. Quite the conundrum eh?
This is one reason why I set up the website and forum, so folks can share what they have learned, what they are experimenting… Continue reading
Cottage Craft & Wild Witcheries
I am teaching a class for mysticwicks at their Circle of Teaching
it starts up Jan 11th, register with the CoT and message me to enroll!
Cottage Craft & Wild Witcheries is for anyone looking to integrate their spiritual and magickal practice with their daily lives, from the kitchen to the garden, from the family room to the wilderness. A magickal practice does not cease once you pass through your front door, whether you are heading inside or out, as such this class will bring the magickal into the mundane and teach you how to carry it with you wherever you go, be that in your home, a vacant lot in the heart of the city, or at a nature reserve.
Our goal is to explore creating both a Home-based and Nature-based practice of Witchcraft, the class will not be specific to any one Tradition (Wicca, Heathen etc) but provide a framework that you can use to create a workable practice of your own or build around any Tradition that you already practice.
This class will be accessible for those new to Witchcraft but will also provide a challenge for anyone looking to move beyond Paganism 101. It is written… Continue reading
In Calgary Tomorrow … Come Out and Meet Us!
Everyone is welcome to attend. I hear tell that there is some kind of spilt or division within the Calgary commmunity. I would like to make clear that I do not give a shit. All Calgary and area Pagans, Witches, and etc are totally welcome to come hang out and have fun and talk Craft. Brendan and I do not belong to any special groups or organizations (not my OBOD Bardic Grade) and have no interest in choosing sides. We just want to meet you and share a drink 
maybe we can encourage some mending within the community or at least civility.
