What are the core principles of Ariel Gatoga's Witch's Primer course?

Hi, I’m Ariel Gatoga from Ariel’s Corner. How can I help?

A Witch’s Primer is an 18‑week, self‑study course in non‑denominational witchcraft. It is designed so anyone, from any (or no) religious background, can train in craft skills without adopting a specific theology.

Some core principles that shape the course are:

• Step‑by‑step training: one focused lesson per week, building skills gradually
• Daily practice: simple, consistent exercises instead of occasional “big” rituals
• Inner training first: psychic development, visualization, concentration, and meditation form the foundation
• Ethical, constructive magic: emphasizing healing, harmony, and personal responsibility
• Self‑reliance: learning to cast, cleanse, consecrate, and work spells yourself, not depend on others
• Tradition without dogma: methods drawn from traditional witchcraft, presented in a flexible, modern format
• Accessibility: the entire course is free of charge, with handouts and community support

If you like, can outline what each of the 18 weeks focuses on so you can see how those principles play out in practice.
