~ Topics to Study for a Year and a Day ~

 

 

 'Year and a Day' is a traditional term for the study undertaken by the novice Witch, Wiccan, Pagan, and probably other Pagan paths too. It lasts for a Year and a Day before initiation into the Craft....

This of course varies for each tradition, and I can't profess to know anything about a lot of them!

If you are a solitary witch, you can take as long as you like - indeed we never stop learning.. that's the fun of it!

The following list is a bunch of topics that your should study for your Year and a Day - keep checking out this album (Witchcraft Mini Lessons) on Paganesque to see more information about each of these topics
