Here are some quick thoughts.

I am on lesson 38 - I take the test tonight and move on to 39 in the morning. I'm finding the weekly questions interesting because they are leading clearly to what Wicca means for me, and leading to the decision of whether to do the self-dedication - in terms of tools, spells, and techniques, some things are going really well, others not so much. I find the on-line thing frustrating at times, because I feel like a two hour conversation with someone would be more helpful. But I get past that with email discussions with mentors.

I go back and forth between feeling like I'm not getting it and I should just forget about it, and feeling that this is the beginning of a journey that will last the rest of my life. Every time I hit a low point, something happens that makes me go "Wow" and I get back on track.

So as a learning experience, I guess it's so far so good. I will say that when the book and the course conflict, I sometimes find the decision difficult. For example, early in the course we learn to use invoking and devoking pentagrams to invoke the Ancient Ones of the four directions, but in the book it says to raise pillars of light. I've asked about that a couple of times but got no answer sa to which is better for what.

So all in all, I love it.

Troubador you use what ever method feels comfortable to you. I have adjusted exercises to fit my needs. Have you tried it both ways? If so what feels more natural for you to use?
I have tried both - and while they feel different, they both work well. I think I am settling on the pentagrams, they feel more natural. Also, as I have been wandering around various web sites on subjects related to ritual it seems that there are a great many applications for evoking/devoking pentagrams and drawing them with the athame or wand, and the more I do it the more I feel it.

There is a lot to learn!

Thanks for the perspective, Iriseyes. I am learning to to put greater trust in my feelings.
Here's a question - I recently bought a quartz wand - obviously manufactured, rounded end and pointy end with 6 facets. I never consecrated it, and discovered it broken in two pieces when I went to do so the other day. What would you do with the pieces? I am inclined to save them and perhaps combine them with wood or metal to make other objects. Seems as though there was some kind of stress in the stone that finally gave way - I don't recall any impact to the wand.

thanks,

If this happened to me I would salvage what I could to make other projects.

Then you can consecrate the pieces to do what you want them to do.

You are quite welcome! Just post if you need any more help Ill be glad to help you out.
Hi, Rev. Cooper,

I am starting lesson 13 and so far I am doing okay. I do get frustrated sometimes because there isn't anyone in my local area to get some "hands on" type advice from, so I work it alone and am glad that these lessons can be tailored around personal specifications - otherwise, I would be lost! I am glad I found this group because sometimes I do need a little help!

Blessings,
Any time you need anything please post or email me directly.

You can use this page to email me or iriseyes1@gmail.com (if you email me put LWL Help) so I can pick it out of my emails.

Blessings.
I understand this very well as there is no local help in my area either. We must persevere and work with what we have. Good luck to you sister.

Blessed Be

I take the test for Lesson 19 tomorrow....such a great place to learn. I have lost count of the courses that I have taken....
Merry Meet,
I have just started Lesson one in this class and I am also enrolled in The Corellian First Degree Class, Basic meditation and the Corellian The Five Mystic Secrets. I am very excited! i had an intrest in Witchcraft and Wicca in my teens but the local library didn't have the resources because the country is so religious. I am now 28 and have been married for ten years with three children one of whom has autism. For the last year I have been reading and searching for everything I can get my hands on. I am glad i found the first Correllian Lesson on Youtube!!! It was the first video on the subject that had scientific and historical data to base magic in fact.

About Lesson one, I have a very difficult time with visualization I do not see in pictures, I don't seee video, I can't close my eyes and see my child's face. I have been meditating but I have to do it with thoughts and feelings. I feel the energy from the white light even though I can't "see" it. Does anyone have any magic tricks to make my sight work? lol

Thanks, Hope to get to know you all,
Blessed Be,
Melissa
