So I know that I mentioned in my last blog in this folder of blogs that I was being considered as a student in Wicca. Well the good news is in as of today, that I have been accepted as a student. I have a teacher now.
Now I am sure that is Greek to a lot of you, so I will try to give you a basic understanding of this. There are a lot of ways that one can learn Wicca, or Witchcraft in this day and age. You can learn from books, online courses, the elements, or even from another person. Now when you learn from another person, you would usually learn from someone with at least their second Wiccan degree. Degrees are a mark and measure of your path and journey as Wiccan clergy. There are three degrees, and one is not allowed to teach until such a time, that they complete a second degree. I am now just starting my first Wiccan degree.
And as you can guess, a teacher does not accept just anyone as a student. I've been accepted, and this is someone that I have known since high school actually. I am going to be her first student. And in her tradition it is customery for a student and a teacher to exchange gifts. She gave me what she used as her first Book of Shadows. It has fresh blank pages in it, but it is just beautiful, and I feel so honored, that she would pass that on to me. I am sure you know what a Book of Shadows is right? Not as flashy as on Charmed, but the same general basic idea. Anyways, if you have any questions, feel free to ask, and I will post a pic below of the said book.
Anyways, this is something I have wanted for a very long time now, (to find a teacher) so congratulate me already. ;)
