Online Class: Witchcraft & Wicca 101

Witchcraft and Wicca 101: A basics course

Join Alythia of the Ash for a 10 week, zoom-based course that teaches the basics of Wicca and Witchcraft. Whether you are completely new to the Craft, or you’re looking for a way to check in on your existing knowledge base, this class is for you. Over the course of 10 weeks, you will learn the basics of Wiccan history, theory and of Wiccan based magical practice. The goal of the class is to ensure students emerge with a basic understanding of Wiccan-based witchcraft that they can use to guide their next steps in the Craft, wherever that may take them.

The syllabus for the 10 week class will be as follows:

1. history of Wicca — where did all this come from?
2. Wicca belief basics
3. Provenance: how to history and other places our practices come from
4. Pantheons and working with gods
5. Observances & milestones
6. Ritual basics
7. Tools
8. Ethics
9. Practical Meditation
10. Energy work

Meet your Instructor:

Alythia, like many who walk this path, did not grow up as a pagan and a witch, but chose this path decades ago. Although perhaps, when she thinks about it, this path chose her, too. She remembers being connected to the gods even as a young woman who was still (at least nominally) of her parents’ Greek Orthodox faith. She had a strong fascination with the tarot, and after years of study was reading professionally out of a new age bookshop in Alexandria in 2007 when she began participating in open holiday circles and, after a time, walking the path of the Knotted Ash, dedicating to the (now defunct) Coven of the Black Vulture in 2011. She achieved her Third Degree in the Knotted Ash tradition in the summer of 2022.

In addition to her role as a coven leader and priestess in the Church of the Knotted Ash, Alythia teaches 101 classes, and workshops on a variety of subjects from tarot reading to devotional practice to wards and shielding. She also writes the blog and sometimes podcast “Witchful Thinking from Alythia,” available on Substack. She also does the things that most people do — goes to work, raises a family, maintains friendships and supports her community.
