The link has been fixed. Apparently they decided to re-organize the website right after I originally linked it redface

I read the all the lessons it's a really helpful guide for beginners. Although I think they should have gone into much more detail on how the altar is traditionally set-up and maybe a small lesson on additional tools that are traditional to the craft.

Thanks for posting this! It is very helpful to me (a beginner). I am still working my way through the lessons but what i have read so far is very informative. Thanks!!

This is a good site thanx^^

That looks like a very good course, actually. I'm going to read through it myself, and perhaps do some of the exercises to give my craft and faith a bit of a brush-up. I particularly like the way they are specific about ritual form; I'm adamant that Neo-Wicca is a specific religion rather than generic eclectic Neo-Paganism, so it's nice to see a site that's clear that there are defining aspects. 3nodding

This site gets the San-chan stamp of approval!*

The authors of the site are Trad as far as I know. I just read their book Circle of Fire, which was actually pretty good, for the basics. Though on the site they list air = athame, in the book they reverse it to the actual fire = athame, and list why there is such a confusion around the associations. The book was listed on one of Scorplett's recommened reading lists, that I have been slowly working my way through.

So far, this site seems quite in-depth, but when I read information, it's hard for my brain to keep it there... I need to hear it as well as see it in order to even slightly understand it... I'm going to stick with this one for now though, I need as much research as I can get...
