Hi, could you link to the start of the crystal course you took? I’m assuming it’s here on Spells8?

Hi @chaitea43, yes the course that I am in the middle of for Advanced Practitioner, is through the:
The Love & Light School by Ashley Leavy
A few others within the community have also gone through the programs. I know of at least 3, but there may be more. It’s actually how I found out about the courses. Through the courses, I started working more on Chakras & understanding how they work with crystals &, etc, etc, etc…

Hi! I haven’t learned anything that wouldn’t necessarily be common knowledge for anyone that has a basic understanding of the culture. I’d have to sit down and actually think about it

Hi Peridot. I completely understand your “at times” struggle regarding the topic of religion. In my opinion only, it is difficult to clear your head of a topic that was instilled in you, your whole life. I still have questions I will hopefully sooner than later find the answers to.
I am an Eclectic Witch and Hekate is my Goddess, with that being said, I as well did some research on Dark Magick. I found it to be very interesting and surprised that, like you said, it is not all bad as it is labeled to be. Mote it Be…
Continue enjoying your journey,

I’ve been learning about astrology and gemstones. I’ve also been studying trees and how each tree correlates with different seasons and moon cycles. Also been doing some beautiful tree meditations! Guided by books.
The books I recommend so far are:
The Healing Power of Trees
By Sharlyn Hidalgo
Wild Magical Soul
By Monica Crosson

This is really interesting! May I ask if you are following the Ogham/Celtic Tree Calendar for your tree studies, or is it another tradition of tree magick? 
Thank you for your book recommendations- wishing you all the best with your studies, @chaitea43!

Thank you! Yes, I believe it is the Celtic calendar, but I’ll double check to make sure.

Thank you! 
I’ve been building a witchy calender of my own and have been learning more about the 13 Celtic Tree Months and how their unique tree magick ties into each month, so I was curious if that was what you were studying too- it is very interesting indeed!
Happy studies and blessed be!

I’m learning about lucid dreaming with @Mysterie.
For me it’s hard to remember my dreams, so it’s a challenge.

Hooray! Lucid dreaming is fascinating- it’s a great area of study to pursue in the Craft!
I know it was touched upon a bit in the previous Hedge Magick weekly witchy challenge, but with that challenged ended I felt called to create a new place in the forum for those of us interested in lucid dreams. For anyone who wants to check it out, you can visit the lucid dream discussion here:

@chaitea43 & @TheTravelWitch_Bry there is a book called Celtic Tree Magic by Danu Forest. It goes through each tree, the month through the Celtic calendar & astrology of the tree & ogham for each tree through the Celtic culture that you may be interested in looking into.
Danu Forest has a website:

I am currently taking the Spells8 course on Reading Tarot. I have been casually reading cards for myself for a couple of years now, although I just “officially” became a witch last month (more like I finally realized who I truly am). I am enjoying the course and I’m learning a lot that I wasn’t really aware of before. I have a deck that has suggested interpretations printed directly on each card, but I am eager to become more intuitive with my readings

I’m so happy to hear that you are enjoying the Tarot Course, @isobel.tuliptree! 
I’ve found in my own studies of the cards that new meanings continue to come with time- that is to say, the more you study and practice readings, the deeper and more interesting the cards become 
It is a very exciting and rewarding area of the Craft- I hope you continue to enjoy your studies! Happy readings, Isobel!

Currently, I only read one or 2 cards without looking at anything & the meaning just pops out of my brain from looking at the cards… but that’s not consistent depending on what I have going on at the time.
