Keys of Knowledge Intermediate Course
Do you have a beginner's course? 
For those who wish to learn the knowledge of Witchcraft through Paganism. (Not Wicca)

For those who wish to learn the knowledge of Witchcraft through Paganism. 

No. If you are drawn to learn the ways of the craft and have basic knowledge of the elements, some tools and know that wicca is not for you but are still drawn to the craft. You are not considered a beginner. You followed your pull, read up on the basics, and discovered that your desire to seek knowledge goes beyond wicca. You seek the core, for it is older, deeper, more meaningful, spiritual, and historical. 
   That in itself defines you as Intermediate, and not beginner. We value, acknowledge and respect the steps you have taken  on your own to learn. They count, unlike what other Witchcraft courses may be so quick to label you as a noobie. We do not dismiss the fact that you are seeking to learn and what you have done so far on your new personal spiritual journal.

 Roots  of  Paganism   
    In order to walk any spiritual path, one should know the roots of it. Paganism has a direct link that can be traced back to our ancient historic history. All history can help people, as well as how it might have mislead them. Of course we can't cover everything. However, we can cover some essential and factual parts that will help you walk the path of Paganism with more ease.
   At some point an opportunity may cross your path where you could share information on Paganism to a non-Pagan. 
   With a civil conversation and equal respect, this could very well be a defining moment. The ability to share history and knowledge of our ways could reverse a negative outlook of our ways to a fresh new positive one. 
    In addition to that, it is important to know some history of your spiritual belief, so if you ever decide to convey your spirituality with a non-Pagan; you come across more knowledgeable, credible, and logical.

What makes this course different from others on line? 
What makes this course different from others on line? 
This course was compiled by all female Pagan Crones.  We all have walked our Pagan paths ranging 3 to 4 1/2 decades (30 to 45 years). Thus allowing us to obtain, experience, discuss, observe, participate, travel, interview, trained, research, and be highly engaged with various people and High Priestesses of the craft. 

Some attended events were:
                                  1995 Sacred Cave Ceremony with Selena Fox in Wisconsin
                                  2007 Goddess Festival with Zbudapest in Northern California
                                  2008 Official Salem Witches Ball with Christian Dey in Salem, Mass.

Some people we interviewed were:
                                   Lisa Thiel                   Susun Weed
                                   Wendy Rule               Christan Dey
                                   Keillana                      Willow Polson


Here is some more information on exactly who we are:

We are creators of rituals for Circles, Covens and High Priestesses.
We have written and published books, We have owned New Age Shops, We are Tarot Readers with over 30 years experience, We have High Priestesses in some of our families, We are Mentors,  Hereditary Witches, Natural Witches, Creators of Altar kits, Travelers to many Pagan associated events in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, North Carolina, Virginia, Florida, Wisconsin,  California, Massachusetts, Delaware, New York, We have led Rituals for Sabbats and Esbats, We are healers, teachers, government workers, and so much more.

We have been highly engaged in various customs, mentoring, training, workshops, rituals, researches, interviews, Women Circles and more.

We are strong in our beliefs as well as our selves.

We have interviewed, researched, practiced and participated in the new religion "Wicca" over a 2 year period in order to enhance our knowledge and understanding so we could have a fair perspective of it.

We are Pagan Crone Women that know it is within us to share and pass down the knowledge to the mothers and maidens who are seeking to truly learn and not just obtain knowledge. There is a saying that we are suppose to pass the torch. This is true, however that torch must be maintained by the new holder in order to keep it lit. One can not just stand with a lighted torch that has been given to them and then expect for it to stay lit without doing anything. 

    Keep in mind that we are Crones and our time is very precious to us. Also keep in mind that you MUST do the work in order to learn. You can not just keep asking questions for everything when you have not tried to research the answer on your own. In this day and age there are plenty of resources, so use them. In the Merriem Dictionary the exact definition of a Mentor is "someone who teaches or gives help and advice to a less experienced and often younger person ."   Note it did not say someone who gives answers. 
    We will teach, guide, instruct, advise, and help you in the right direction so that you can not just learn but understand. If you are going in the wrong direction; we will put you back on track. We will provide answers to some of your questions if we feel you have exhausted your resources. Generally people who do not want to do the work and just want answers are the ones who constantly ask questions that can be easily achieved. 

    Please think carefully if you are truly willing to learn. We do not want to waste our time or yours. 

 This is a 15 week course. The last week you will be given a test on the things that we have taught you and not things that are always in a book. For instance if we taught you a certain meaning of a herb and when you took the test; you decide to look it up(google) to see the properties. If you put down a property that falls under that herb but is not the one we had actually taught you, the question will be marked wrong. 
    We are not saying that is the only property for that herb, but we want to know if you had actually learned the property that we taught you. 

  This course is free. The next course will have a fee that you can pay via pay pal if you wish to continue. The reason there is no fee for this first course is for you to get the chance to see how the learning structure of our course works.
