This is our longest running class series.
Amy Krinner, my best friend & High Priestess, started teaching together 16 years ago to help clarify, educate & provide feedback to the burgeoning amount of information on Witchcraft.

We offer 3 different cycles on Witchcraft:

• Witchclass Cycle One: The Basic Art & Science
• Witchclass Cycle Two: Spellbook
• Witchclass cycle Three: Gods & Goddesses.

The cycles need not be taken in order & are geared toward practical application & living a magickal life.
