new to paganism
Posted by: "rebecca.langer" rebecca.langer@yahoo.com rebecca.langer
Thu Feb 10, 2011 11:43 am (PST)
Hi, and thanks for letting me join. I am new to paganism/wicca and would like to get to know a little more about it. I actually bought the "Paganism for Dummies" book years ago, but was rather self-conscious about proclaiming myself to be part of this culture because of the labels and stereotypes that surround it. I don't know if that book is accurate or not, but I feel better about taking part in this type of culture because I now feel more drawn to this sort of thing (that's the best way I can describe it).
Anyway, I'm glad to be here and hope to learn more.
Thanks again!
Becky

Join our brother Peter as he talks about:
• the history of tantra
• currents in tantra today
• the theory and practice of tantra
• the Left Hand Path and the Right Hand Path
• conscious sexuality
• simple practices to get you started
• sex magick
Peter is a Level 2 initiate of Ipsalu Tantra Kriya Yoga.
This will be a clothes-on lecture, and will give you avenues to pursue whether you're single or part of a couple.

Hey, I'm in the uk. However, it seems to me these days that more people are making money by doing the odd job here and there. Think about offering a service around the neighbourbood, like washing cars,baking cakes or if you know aromatherapy and are qualified there-maybe offer massages.
Things are never over till you give up!
Think about your skills, maybe you can teach people English, for $30 an hour. You can do it on the weekend, so it doesn't feed into study time. Maybe make some craft things people will like, and sell them at a local fayre. or offer pagan's that you know spells that you can create. I'm sure it will soon add up!

Mantras...

Mantras-
good morning to day, rising sun.
I am the magic,
the power the light,
I am the goddess the insight!
I am the wave of the candle flame,
I am desire; yet never the same.
Both day and night,
the Goddess holds me with her might.
Night owl's scream, Is just as sure,
Like any beecon; a vast healing cure.
breathe, breathe into me,
I am the light of destiny.
I spin and weave, I spin and weave,
And in the Goddess I believe.

The spell came from another source, so probably not.

What is this course: This Course is designed for ordinary people who wish to
know more about the Craft, especially here in Australia. The course aims at
helping students to develop their skills and gain confidence in a number of
magickal techniques which are typically used in Witchcraft Covens, this
course will also introduce you to the foundational elements and aspects of
connecting with self, discovering your magickal/psychic self, knowing and
understanding yourself, and centring and preparing to enter the circle. You
will be encouraged to use these skills throughout, performing exercises,
meditations, visualisations and rituals. Each Lesson is followed by
'assignments' - these vary from simple tasks, such as copying material into
your own magickal journal, meditations, creativity and ritual work.
In this course we will cover the following:
Understanding this sacred land, its true history, and its ancestors and
people. A brief history of Witchcraft, Wicca, Paganism.
Establishing a sense of knowing thyself, our ethics, morals, boundaries and
a sense of who you really are in the world.

ancient land and its unique Medicine. Understanding the connection of our
actions, and how they effect the dreaming. Gain deeper understanding to the
"oneness"

Goddess within.

traditional festivals and how we can connect to them here in the Southern
Hemisphere. Offering a simple format that shows how we can connect the
Sabbats to our seasons for the transformational process of working the craft
on this ancient land. You will be given a wheel of the year for Downunder,
making it easier to tread the round here in Australia.
The Moon, Lunar Cycles and Moon Magick, again this is designed for here in
the Southern Hemisphere. Understanding the flow of the Moon and how to make
the moon and her energies work for you personally here in Australia.
Connecting to your spirit guides, familiars, totems and working with energy.

WHAT STUDENTS HAVE SAID ABOUT THIS COURSE
I find each and every experience fascinating, and thrive on the knowledge
and experiences gained on both an intellectual and spiritual level.
My eyes have been opened to so many things that I simply could not have
learned when I was practicing solo, and learning from books.
I have found support, laughter and friendship within the group to balance
and expand my journey.
Astarte herself is the very embodiment of a "Wise woman", who balances a
cavernous depth of knowledge, with good humour and a genuine caring
attitude. I appreciate her "non fluffy" no nonsense style of teaching, and I
am particularly thankful for her teaching Witchcraft specifically for
Australians, through her understanding of indigenous culture. - Blessings,
Skyla.
I feel fortunate that I get a chance to receive some of Astarte's knowledge.
She is a fountain of wisdom. Her information is pure, generous, deep,
non-judgmental, uncomplicated and the base of all things that matter. It is
obvious that she is not only an excellent teacher of her craft, but a true
practitioner of it too, which is very inspirational. I feel that by
participating in her course I can become a better human being. I am more in
touch and tune with nature, the universe and spirituality. This brought
light, motivation, hope and balance into my life. I can highly recommend
participating in her course, no matter what religious background or believe
system one may have. - Blessed be Kathi
I have been attending Astarte's classes, full moon rituals and Sabbat
celebrations since February 2007 and could not be more grateful for the
knowledge, compassion, wisdom and care that Astarte imparts to her students
and also puts into everything she does! Astarte is a natural, genuine and
talented teacher who encourages us to think for ourselves and become not
only the best witches we can be, but the best people too. The workshops and
just being part of Earthwise has brought stability and peace to my life, not
to mention lots of great friends! - Love and Light, Shireen
I've thoroughly enjoyed attending Astarte's classes. She is a warm, kind,
generous person and a delightful teacher. Her knowledge and personal
experience regarding witchcraft is abundant. I'm grateful she also has
worked with Aboriginal Elders and integrates the spiritual practice of the
original custodians of this land into the workshops and
ceremonies......Jennifire
"I am new to the 'magick' path and at the beginning of my journey I heard
about Astarte's Sunday workshops. I decided to attend one to see what it
was all about and am now a regular. I have found myself gaining knowledge
that I would not have learnt from just reading a book, and Astarte presents
the material in an easy and relaxed way. I am currently attending Astarte's
weekly class which runs for 11 weeks and have found it to be very
informative, providing me with safe foundational learning for future work
with magick. Whether one is new to this path, or a practicing witch who may
need a refresher, this course is for everyone. I highly recommend it to all
who are serious about Wicca/Witchcraft-to the coven member or solitary
witch-it's ideal." - Much love and blessings, BB Julie XX
My Classes with Astarte have been fundamental to my souls' journey. The
classes and rituals have helped me learn so much more about myself as well
as witchcraft. I've found Astarte to be a nurturing person with so much to
teach and all the people in our group are amazing and contribute to my
learning. - Kristy
