School of witchcraft
The school of witchcraft is a major project we have put in hand, this stated
off with the
objective being to produce a basic, but detailed course covering all areas of
the craft, but particularly the areas known as witchcraft. It has grown over
time to become the university of the traditional crafts.
By working with, rather than competing with the academy site aimed a teens
primarily, we now see this as a multi stage process, with many paths or groups
having some very basic courses on their websites, the academy offering a fun and
lighter basic introduction to the craft and the university taking on the larger
task of knowledge in depth. In effect we are now moving to a position where
information is more organised by use, and a lot more shared use should be able
to be made.
This project will now comprise a number of websites including an improved
library and skills centre.
These websites are:-
- www.school-of-witchcraft.com
is the main university site
- www.book-of-shadows.com will
become the universities library and also a general library for the TCA
- www.book-of-shadows.net will
become the practical skills centre.
- www.witchpages.com will
continue to hold a vast and growing amount of material from an even wider
collection of areas. It is viewed not so much a library but s a repository of
information. It also has a new portal section being designed to replace the
existing one which is novel but many find difficult to use.
- www.witchcraft-school.com
is the academy of witchcraft website, running a teen and somewhat lighter
course.
- www.witchraft-schhool.com
is the tutor site that runs with the academy side, and its use will change
somewhat.
- www.school-of-witchcarft.com
is currently the site for those volunteering to write foe the courses but its
use will also switch to tutoring soon.
The information is free to use, with no pop up or other distractions.
Contents
Course access for most to this material is contained on a site called appropriately www.school-of-witchcraft.com
there are a number of sections but most of this site comprises two sections, a
course based on structured modules allowing a spread of knowledge to be acquired
in a planned sequence and a reference section.
The course section as modules intended to be taken in sequence, where each segment
includes a variety of material in a way that allows knowledge to be built upon.
It includes practical elements. Any term is explained the first time it is used,
but is hyper linked on future occasions to a glossary entry that shows in a
small section at the bottom of the screen. Presented in this way, it allows over
a period for any person with the interest to pick up the basics of all craft
knowledge, in an interesting and informative way.
The reference section has information by topic, with cross references and
links to other material. Further sections list books and some other reference
information..
Writers required
More course and reference writers are required to expand this project. Email
us at "new-authors @ book-of-shadows.org"
if you are able to help, there are no spaces before or after the @. The amount you undertake can be limited to your chosen
area of knowledge or time available.
Advisers on specific brands or paths are also required, who will look through
all new material and point out any oversight, and likewise people with specific interest
in particular craft skills.
