The Salem Massachusetts Wiccan Meetup

Join us in person or online on Saturday December 7, 2024 from 2:00 - 5:00 pm - for the first class in our year long, once a month, WICCA 101 course series! This opportunity will not come around for another year...jump onboard now!

Our intention for this series is to help you build your understanding of the Wiccan religion, attain magical skills and competencies and to dig deeper into all aspect of "first degree" (and beyond) learning.

In this class will begin to develop our understanding of the nuts and bolts of Wiccan Ritual practice; what we do during ritual and why we do it. The ritual design classes are holistically designed to give you a combination of guided visualization, deepening personal awareness, practical hands on learning, independent study, group discussion and a final group project which culminates in a class designed and run ritual.

Attendance at previous Wicca 101 classes is mandatory for participation in this class. Out of respect for the hard work of the Ritual Design students, new students will not be permitted to join the Wicca 101 Series until the start of the new cycle of classes in the Spring 2025.

All levels of experience are welcomed. Cornucopia is a pluralistic community, we value all! Any tradition or level of learning/experience is welcomed! You will not need to bring any supplies other than a notebook to take notes if you wish.

The fee for this class is $35. Please use Meetup to RSVP, use Venmo or PayPal for payment - @cornucopiacollective or contact organizer if you plan to pay cash in person.

In Person Location: 9 North Street, Salem, MA 01970 (please use side door, there is no onsite parking - street/lot/garage parking only). If you would prefer to join us via Zoom please private message your email address to your organizer and the zoom link will be sent to you.

Join us in person or online on Saturday January 11, 2024 from 2:00 - 5:00 pm - for our once a month, WICCA 101 course series!

Our intention for this series is to help you build your understanding of the Wiccan religion, attain magical skills and competencies and to dig deeper into all aspect of "first degree" (and beyond) learning.

In this class, we will pick up where we left off in our discussion on Wiccan Ritual Design. We've discussed the various styles and purposes of ritual, the dynamics of the ritual plotline, and building a personal relationship with Wiccan Ritual and sacred space. Now we will discuss the mechanics of ritual and begin putting these ideas into practice using a combination of discussion, visualization, and practical hands on learning - all culminating in a student designed and run ritual.

Attendance at previous Wicca 101 classes is mandatory for participation in this class.

The fee for this class is $35, Please use meetup to RSVP, Venmo or Paypal for payment - @cornucopiacollective or contact organizer if you plan to pay cash in person.

Join us in person or online on Saturday February 8, 2025 from 2:00 - 5:00 pm - for our once a month, WICCA 101 course series!

Our intention for this series is to help you build your understanding of the Wiccan religion, attain magical skills and competencies and to dig deeper into all aspect of "first degree" (and beyond) learning.

In this class, we will continue to build on our previous two ritual design classes in which we discussed the theory and purposes of ritual, the dynamics of the ritual plotline, begun practicing the casting of circles and building a personal relationship with the elements. Now we will be working with the heart of the ritual: invoking and working with deity, building energy and channeling that energy towards intention and magical goals and then grounding that energy. The culmination of this class will be a student designed and run ritual.

Attendance at this years Ritual Design 1 & 2 classes is mandatory for participation in this class.

The fee for this class is $35, Please use meetup to RSVP, Venmo or Paypal for payment - @cornucopiacollective or contact organizer if you plan to pay cash in person.

Welcome to a brand new cycle of our Wicca 101 class series!

Our intention for this series is to help you build your understanding of the Wiccan religion, attain magical skills and competencies and to dig deeper into all aspect of "first degree" (and beyond) learning.

As the first class in the series, we will set the foundation for our exploration of Wiccan beliefs & ethics by exploring the history of Wicca in the context of other great spiritual traditions and unpack frequently used (and misused) terminology. Students will be invited to think critically about the popular information about Wicca as it’s found in the media and around the community and look at the ways in which Wicca is not one path but an evolution of many paths coming together.

This is CLASS 1, in our Wicca 101 course; attendance at this class isn't mandatory for attendance at later Wicca 101 classes; but it is HIGHLY recommended.

All levels of experience are welcomed. Cornucopia is a pluralistic community, we value all! Any tradition or level of learning/experience is welcomed! You will not need to bring any supplies other than a notebook to take notes if you wish.

The fee for this class is $35. Please use Venmo for payment - @shelleyhollow13 or contact organizer if you plan to pay cash in person.
