Before the spell is spoken, before the candle is lit—there is the circle. In Circle of the Wise, you’ll step into the heart of ritual magick by learning how to cast, cleanse, and work within a sacred space. This introductory course offers a grounded yet mystical approach to creating your first magickal circle, a space of protection, focus, and power. Whether you follow Wicca, traditional witchcraft, or an eclectic path, this course will provide you with practical tools and spiritual insight to begin your ritual journey.
You’ll explore the "why" behind casting circles, how to build energy, cleanse your space, and develop rituals that are as simple or elaborate as your path requires. Come with curiosity, leave with confidence.

In my class, we'll learn the basics of candles before we use them in our Magickal practice.
