Last night was my initiation into the Craft. It marked the conclusion of Witchcraft One, a class taught by Christopher Penczak at Unicorn Books in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

For the past several weeks our class has been meeting every Thursday to learn the foundations of the science, art and spirituality of magick as Christopher has laid them out in his book, The Inner Temple of Witchcraft. During that time I've come to know some of my classmates better than others, but the exquisite energy that the group brought together for each class meeting was undeniable. We had solidified as a unit by the end of the class.

Initiation was a powerful and moving experience. In addition to feeling a connection to Christopher, who is an excellent teacher and a wise and funny person, I felt a great affection for all of my classmates as we took the first step on this path together.

The experience was also very humbling in that I realized how much I have yet to learn!

The timing of Blogickal's launch couldn't have been more perfect, coinciding as it has with my initiation. I truly hope that this will become the space I intended - where those of us who are learning the Craft together can create a community to share experiences, ask questions, gain knowledge and have fun.
