Witchcraft, Shamanism & Magick III
WSM III: Shamanism & Embracing Your Shadow
WSM IIII is the third on your journey through the Spirit's Edge Mystery School. It is the third year in a five-degree system of Witchcraft, Shamanism & Magick (WSM) training corresponding to the five degrees in the Spirit’s Edge Shamonial Temple & Tradition.
Our teacher is High Priestess and Founder Kassia S. Morgan, who personally serves as the apprenticeship mentor for each student in the Mystery School. Kassia's goal, depending on the level of interest each year, is to offer subsequent classes for each of the four to five levels for those continuing this year in WSM III or in other levels.

WSM III Details
Registration Opens November 1 for our next WSM I Apprenticeships beginning March 1
Join us for Witchcraft, Shamanism & Magick III, a one year, in person training in shamanism in the context of Witchcraft and Magick and the path to embracing and partnering with your shadow self, embracing the mysteries of Water.
This is the journey of the shamanic practitioner, with an eye to the practice of shamanism in the context of Witchcraft. We will part the veils of the three worlds and walk between the worlds, journeying to the Upper, Middle and Lower Worlds. We will embrace the Shaman’s Tree, the Great World Tree, as our journey vehicle as we travel the three worlds. The shamanic path is one of a healer – healing oneself, healing others and healing the three worlds. We are a bridge between the worlds, connecting the physical plane with the other world and communing with spirits.
​
We will explore core shamanic practices and techniques of healing, travel and communing with the dead, our ancestors and the Mighty Dead / Hidden Company. We will work with our spirit allies, developing a spiritual team supporting our shamanic and healing work. We will go within and distill our shadow, facing our fears and transforming them into a partnership with our shadow self as we seek to align our souls. We will explore and heal our past selves in this lifetime and in prior lifetimes.
​​​
We will partner with allies in the Animal, Crystal and Plant kingdoms, and the Kingdom of Faery, connecting with the divine that runs through all things, including exploration of animal totems/allies, our Fetch animal and Green Lover (plant spirit), as we work with animal and plant spirit medicine. We will face the Dark Goddess and the darkness within ourselves, bringing it to light, into to healing and into Love through the power of Water, of Compassion and Unconditional Love.
​
ntensive homework will be required in an independent study format. There will be an online group component. Class instruction will be provided via online video format, written lessons and photos in directed self-study with mentoring.
This is a one year apprenticeship, and classes cannot be individually taken. Class will culminate in a Year & A Day Initiation Ritual to mark your completion of Witchcraft, Shamanism & Magick III, and for online students, it will culminate in your personal Year & A Day Initiation Ritual. Please note that ultimately no one can partner with your shadow for you or declare you as having done so - it is between you and your soul, your selves.
​​
First "virtual" class is March 1 of the current year with Lesson 1. Last lesson begins on Feb. 1 of the following year. The final lesson, Lesson 13, A Year & A Day Initiation Ritual and any remaining class submissions are due by March 1 of that following year.

We have much to celebrate as Spirit’s Edge and as a Mystery School!! Spirit’s Edge is a spiritual organization, born on Jan. 1, 2010 in a working by my coven. Our first quasi-public ritual was held May 2012. Our community called Spirit’s Edge: A Seeker’s Salon was founded on Hekate’s Feast Day Aug. 13, 2012. Soon after, at Mabon 2012, Spirit’s Edge started its ongoing, continuous run of public sabbat rituals.
Our Mystery School was announced June 2013, and our first WSM I & II classes began November 2013. For several years, we had two sections of WSM I as well. Spirit’s Edge took its full name of Spirit’s Edge Shamonial Temple in February 2014.
Love, Light & Blessings,
