Everyone is using their beliefs to shape the world around them. That is one of the most important factors of witchcraft: Your mindset. The power of your mind is always available at no cost to you, 24 hours per day, 7 days a week. Harnessing it is easy to learn no matter which path you decide to take, and this course has been designed to give you an informed starting point to make making your future spiritual decisions that much easier.
Unlike most other online courses featuring Witchcraft, Spellcraft, or similar subjects, this course is 100% free of indoctrination or initiation of any kind. When you've completed these lectures and quizzes, you will not be a devout Wiccan, nor will you be of any specific pagan pantheon. Instead, you will be prepared and well-informed enough to know what kind of witch or pagan ( or pagan witch) that you would truly like to be.
This course exists only as an essential stepping stone to keep you informed of the facts and lessen your likelihood of being bamboozled by spiritual 'gurus' of most any kind.
