We are not here to judge, sway your views, or encourage one thing over another.  We simply want to help you find what resonates with your soul.  For some, it is in Christianity and the Bible.  For others, it is different, and we believe that your true beliefs should not be kept deep down.  We may present some of our own beliefs (such as laws of nature, the threefold law (karma), etc.) but it is UP TO YOU as to how you react, interpret, and utilize the information.  Courses rely on open communication and discussion to better suit student needs. 

If you do not find a course that suits you, but is close to something that does, feel free to send us an email and we can work together to create something for you.  (If you are here solely because of your interest in Mermaids, the ocean, and conservation, we suggest the Mermaid Musing Course.)  Courses typically need a minimum of two students to run, and fees are based off the needs and interests of the group, and meeting location.

Mermaid Musings: 

"Mermaids - these mystical maidens of the sea have captured the minds of people since time immemorial. Their myths extend back thousands of years with many cultures including the Irish, The Scots of the Orkney Isles & even the Native American Tribe the Penobscot claim descent from Mermaids. Some have even postulated that we descend from mermaids via the Lemurian culture as our original form. Whatever the case may be, the Mermaid is indeed a beautiful, mystical creature with much to teach us." -Lila 

This course focuses on many things, including Ocean Conservation.  It utilizes the book "Mermaid Magic: Connecting With the Energy of the Ocean and the Healing Power of Water" by Lucy Cavendish and Serene Conneeley.  It is a requirement for all students in the course to have their own copy, so as to follow along, use as a reference, and help outside of class. Students may find it on Amazon, Google, and other book outlets. The book's description: 

"From the authors of The Book of Faery Magic comes an enchanting new adventure into the power and beauty of water and the oceanic realm. Brimming with sea magic, inner journeys, fun recipes and rich research, Mermaid Magic will help you develop your own deep connection to the element of water. Work with the ocean and its creatures, learn about tides and lunar phases, divine your future with sea oracles, absorb the healing energies of sacred wells and springs, become an eco warrior, and discover the beauty of mermaid lore and legends - and how to call on the mermaids for love and transformation. Whether you believe mermaids are living beings or a beautiful myth, they have long reflected our greatest hopes and embodied our deepest fears. They have been cast as helpful sea beings, innocents prepared to sacrifice all for a human soul, and sirens intent on luring men into temptation. Today they are stronger, kinder and more powerful than ever - and are inspiring a new wave of ocean guardians to care for our fragile planet and its sacred bodies of water. Within the pages of Mermaid Magic you will: * Invoke mermaids and sea goddesses for health and happiness. * Dive in with dolphins, whales, dugongs and sea turtles. * Slip back in time to the golden age of Lemuria, Atlantis and Ys. * Study the charms, spells and secrets of the sea witches. * Connect with your inner mermaiden and transform your life. * Discover your mermaid archetype and tap in to your watery muse. * Work with the element of water in rituals and meditations. * Unlock the messages of the mermaids from literature and legend. * Visit the planet's most sacred healing wells and springs. * Hear from marine conservationists, dolphin advocates and free-spirited surfers. * Meet real-life mermaids, artists, writers and healers, and much, much more... Including interviews with professional surfer and environmentalist Dave Rastovich, artists Jessica Galbreth and Jasmine Becket-Griffith, real-life mermaid Hannah Mermaid, healer and ocean-lover Doreen Virtue, British druidess and teacher Cassandra Eason, dolphin researcher Dr Olivia De Bergerac, manatee expert Professor Caryn Self-Sullivan, sea turtle rehabilitator Lesley Baird, magical authors Michelle Lovric and Liz Kessler and more, this book is a magical journey into the enchanted oceanic realm as and your own heart and soul."

 

 

101: 

 

The 101 Course is a great foundation to learn about the truth behind many of the stereotypes.  There will be NO "devil worshipping" or any crazy potions/chanting/any other crazy stereotype.  Below is part of our course syllabus:

Course Description:
Witchcraft is considered one of the oldest religions in existence. Witchcraft, meaning “craft of the wise”, can be traced to the earliest days of humankind when it was seen as a magickal phenomenon to ensure good luck, protection, and other reasons.  This class will be presented in multiple formats including, but not limited to: lecture, lab (circle work, healing, meditations, etc.), and class discussion.  We will cover many different topics including the basics, historical aspects, ethics, different belief systems, rituals, courtesies, divination, and mediumship exploration. The class will include a “Woods Day”, a Retreat, and other extracurricular outings.  Students will have an opportunity for a dedication at the end of the initial class, and begin their Year and a Day training.
 
Course Objectives:
Students will be able to understand Witchcraft, participate in circles, learn hands-on healing, and continue to build their own Book of Shadows.  They will be able to demonstrate an adequate knowledge of materials taught and understand basic principles.  Students will demonstrate their knowledge through various outlets, including tarot, pendulum, bookwork, rituals, healing sessions, journaling, writing their own prayers and rituals, and other ways. 

Class Decorum:
Because the content of this class is sensitive and personal nature, it is required for all students and guests to maintain a respectful, understanding atmosphere.  While many different viewpoints will be discussed, and may not resonate with you, it may with others.  It is not our job to judge what resonates with others, but to understand and encourage spiritual growth.  Further, it is up to the individual to “come out of the broom closet” when they are ready.

 

102: 
This is a continuation of the 101 course and is tailored to the student's needs and interests.  (For example, if a student is drawn to learning more about Native American Spirituality, tarot, meditation, or lithomancy, each student will pursue what they feel is "right with their soul."  Class decorum and etiquette is standard for ALL courses.
