Towards the Wiccan Circle
A practical introduction to the
principles of Wicca
By Sorita d'Este
Practitioners of Wicca call on the Gods
of our ancestors in their rites, they perform rituals
to mark the changing seasons of the year and celebrate
the Gods in the light of the Full Moon. Wicca provides
a system of magick, spirituality and mysticism which
allows each individual to develop their own relationship
with the Gods and the world around them.
Towards the Wiccan Circle was born out
of the very popular Avalonia homestudy course of the
same name. It was designed by experienced coven leaders
to provide a structured course of study for individuals
who are interested in Wicca and who want to explore
the key principles and practices of the tradition by
themselves prior to making a commitment. Likewise, it
will benefit individuals who are working by themselves
and who are seeking to build a solid foundation from
which to further explore the tradition, with or without
others.
This thoroughly practical self-study
course provides an excellent introduction to Wicca as
a mystery tradition in seven lessons, each covering
a key aspect of the beliefs and practices, these are:
Lesson 1 - Paganism, Witchcraft &
Wicca
Lesson 2 - Magick: Towards an Understanding
Lesson 3 - The Gods & Goddesses
Lesson 4 - The Four Elements
Lesson 5 - The Times Of Magick - Cycles
of Nature
Lesson 6 - Sacred Space
Lesson 7 - Initiation & Rites Of
Passage
Throughout the book, practical exercises,meditations
and simple ceremonies are provided, together with suggestions
for further reading. You will learn about the history,
whilst exploring the practices and deepening your understanding
of the four elements and the natural world, whilst exercising
your visualisation skills and building on your understanding
of the tradition through an experiential approach.
