About Us
Spirits of the Forest is a Teaching and Development Circle/Group
Which means we are open to new members and seekers of the Wychcraft path.
Spirits of the Forest follows our own Elemental Wychcraft.
We also have our own set of principles, which will allowour Groups to survive in a peaceful and harmonious environment.
Because our training structure is difficult and not for everyone, we are very careful who we chose to train and who chooses to train with us.
If you feel you are looking for something more in your life here is What to expect f rom usand What we expect from you:.
The main thing to remember when you are seeking a spiritual path is TIME.
How much time do you have in your present life to devote to your spirituality?
If you find yourself running from A to B, trying to catch your breath, taking up Witchcraft training within a Group is not a good idea, nor is it fair to your teachers to be.
Although we believe that a person should take time off for spiritual retreat, we also believe the urge comes to people at different times in their lives, when they are ready. You may be, you may be not.
Make a wise judgment BEFORE you contact us or any other Coven/Circle or group wishing for training.
We usually urge people who are looking to train in a new Circle/Coven or group to be very careful.
As Principle number 8 of states, "Calling oneself a Wych does not make a Wych, neither does heredity itself nor the collecting of titles..."
Many out there call themselves Wych's but are not so.
So, when looking for a new Group/Circle or Coven, make sure their energy speaks to you?.
Do you feel comfortable there?
Is this an energy you want to be around?
Do not just settle thinking this is the ONLY place that will ever come your way.
Never be that desperate!
Also, are they too eager to train you? If they are, then they are willing to take anything and anyone, which is a bad sign.
At The Spirits of the Forest, a new student could mean a commitment for about five years, therefore not a light one to make.
Becoming a new student does not mean an automatic membership of the Main Coven , which has been bonded and harmonious for too long to disrupt by bringing in someone who does not work well within it.
This goes for all Groups who work well together.
Quantity should never be more important than quality.
We expect that a person who wants to train with us have their life in order so that are able to study without trouble.
If you have young children, please understand that a two year old may disrupt classes and ritual, therefore they cannot be brought and arrangement need to be made to leave them with someone. If you have young children, your responsibility is to them, not the The Spirits of the Forest..
If you are going through a divorce or have had any earth shattering change in you life, you need to deal with it first, THEN turn to Elemental Wychcraft and a study program.
Never use Wychcraft as a crutch.
If you are seriously looking and think we may be for you contact us on amethystselmasel@aol.com
We do not train anyone under the age of 18.
