I like Sacred Mists. Thereās a community like a witchy Facebook plus they have regular esbat and sabbat rituals in the chatroom and itās a really warm community. There are assignments you must complete that are graded by your experienced mentor which will help one learn better, too.
Magickal Circle School is completely free and great, though, as well.
Go with a) what feels right for you and b) what you are able to afford at the moment @Nacurro
If I remember correctly, the Temple of Witchcraft is based around Penczakās own witchcraft tradition, not Wicca. It may look like Wicca sometimes but thatās because Wicca borrowed a lot from Traditional British Witchcraft. I believe TBW is what Penczakās tradition is based around, too.
Talking of witch school, does anyone have any good Saxon witchcraft books they can recommend. Thereās alot on Saxon tradition and folklore, but Iām not finding much on witchcraft unless this is probably under TBW
I havenāt read anything specifically about Saxon Witchcraft. I know that Raymond Buckland wrote a book thatās now titled Bucklandās Book of Saxon Witchcraft. Iāve never read it but it seems like itās Saxon-based Wicca and not historically-based Saxon practice.
From surviving historical and archaeological evidence from the period, contemporary scholars believe that beliefs regarding magic in Anglo-Saxon England revolved largely around magico-medicinal healing, the use of various charms, amulets and herbal preparations to cure the sick. Literary accounts of many of these medicinal charms still survive. Archaeologists have also argued that certain burials, both in the pagan and Christian periods, represented female magical practitioners, of ācunning womenā, who may have practised witchcraft alongside benevolent magic.
In an academic paper published in 1989, Anthony Davies of the University of Groningen noted that in the surviving literature, there were five separate accounts of Anglo-Saxon witches recorded in Anglo-Saxon or Norman England. Four of these, he argued, represented witches who were ālittle more than literary constructsā, owing more to the folk tales of the time than to any actual magical practitioners. The fifth,[which?] he argued, represented a genuine magical practitioner accused of a malevolent act.
The bibliography of the Wikipedia page has this article listed as a source which would probably be a good one to read if you can find it. Iāve looked online everywhere and had trouble finding it. I literally couldnāt find a copy online anywhere but I do know that the library at Stanford has a copy that canāt be accessed unless youāre affiliated with the school in some way.
JSTOR is a good place to find articles and information. I found this article Anglo-Saxon medicine and magic thatās free to read with an account. You can create an account for free and read 100 articles a month, for free, without a school affiliation or anything. Hereās a search, too ā Search results | JSTOR ā that you might find something helpful!
@MeganB This is really helpful thankyou. Itās weird that itās a part of my countries history but information is either scarce or exclusive to members only club (what are they hiding , my conspiracy mind goes into overtime ). I will continue to dig and look up all these references. Thankyou very much lovely
Nope, you did just fine! There is so much information out there on witchcraft and paganism, itās amazing! The online information was severely lacking back when I was first learning about Wicca in the early 2000s. Itās wonderful to see how far things have come!
Thank you so much dear Megan
I was always in the library trying to read about magic but a lot of it was in English and that wasnāt my strong point
Love how much you can find today
