“The first thing magic changes is you.”
Phyllis Curott’s
Witchcraft Masterclass
Whether you’re just beginning, or you’re practicing by cobbling together bits and pieces from books and YouTube videos, if you’re looking for the right ‘fit” or you’re ready to go deeper—this Masterclass is for you.
This Masterclass incorporates all the spiritual wisdom and essential practices of my two Foundational Classes, The Magic of the Wand and The Magic of the Grail. It’s a deep, enriching, and experiential approach to Witchcraft as a spiritual path home to a re-enchanted world and life. I will teach you how to quickly and easily work with techniques that I use—active/wand and receptive/grail- to bring yourself into deep energetic alignment with the Divine in realms of spirit and embodied by the natural world. We’ll explore what magic is, what Nature’s magic is, and you’ll learn how to work with and shape that magic to create a healthy, happy and purposeful life that makes the world a better place for your having been here.
My Masterclass offers wise guidance, real skills and the magic that will awaken and empower the Witch, the wicce, the wise one within you. But just as you don’t have to be Buddhist to benefit from meditation or Hindu to practice yoga, you don’t have to be a Witch to benefit from what you’ll learn.
Everyone is welcome to take my Witchcraft Masterclass. It’s required if you wish to participate in my Temple of Ara’s Rites of Initiation.
