@Cathy: Thank you for posting. I am no officially in any way a Witch School Mentor, but I figured I would try to take a stab at helping you with your problem. I will also be sending my explanation to you through the Private Messaging system to help ensure you receive the help you need.

The thing you need to understand about Magic, Wicca, and Life in general is this: It is a deeply personal experience with which you should feel comfortable being yourself and making your own decisions. Yes, there are certain Groups, in Wicca often called Traditions, that require you to operate within their belief context when acting as a member of their Tradition...but in your own magick practice you should not feel bound to their requirements.

Basically, what I am trying to convey is that you should do what you yourself feels is an appropriate way to approach beginning your Wiccan practice. This means that, in my humble opinion, there is no need to undergo a complex dedication ritual until you are ready. For that matter, you should not feel under any obligations to purchase expensive tools when just starting out. Magick manifests itself because of your Will, not really anything you do on the physical plane.

I hope I have provided you with accurate information and that it is found acceptable by the True Mentors in this group. If you still feel like doing a Dedication Ritual is something you want to do, I'm sure they will be very willing to provide you with the info you need.
