*****
WSM II is the second year in a five-degree system of Witchcraft, Shamanism & Magick (WSM) training in the Spirit’s Edge Mystery School, 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 starting this year in WSM I or continuing this year in other levels.
The Spirit's Edge Mystery School is an inner development and soul growth school, guiding the individual through intensive independent self-study and direct mentoring by the teacher, fitting the boutique nature of our school, through the secret class page and monthly homework submissions. Throughout the Mystery School journey, the student will seek partnership with their Shadow Self and seek to merge with their Higher Self. The Great Work of this program is geared to guide the individual as they seek to integrate their own soul lessons, develop awareness and a higher state of consciousness/higher vibration, centered in the Heart, anchored in Divine Love and Light. This school provides the vehicle for the student to integrate their spiritual development into their own practice and life – merging the three aspects of the soul as one and embodying the Great Work of the soul.
Join us for Witchcraft, Shamanism & Magick II, a one year, online training to become your own priest(ess) in service to your soul's path and the Goddess and God. You will learn how to cast a circle, create sacred space through different methods, create altars and shrines, work with the four elements, work with the Goddess and the God in their various forms through meditation and ritual, such as celebrating the seasons of the Earth, honoring the Wheel of the Year and following the cycles of the Moon.
By connecting your inner spark with your deepening roots in service to your higher self and the Gods, you will learn to create change to manifest your Will and understand how to use magick to heal and spiritually grow. And yes, you will learn how to safely craft spells and will work with nature to create magick using candles, charms, potions, crystals, talismans, symbols and herbs. Your work will include solitary and group efforts. You will practice a divination tool(s), along with developing a regular practice in relationship with the Gods. As don Miguel Ruiz often says, "Practice makes the master." By learning these skills of WII, you can transform your mundane life into an amazing magickal experience. Homework will be required.
Intensive 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. Class will culminate in your personal Year & A Day Initiation Ritual to mark your completion of Witchcraft, Shamanism & Magick II. Please note that ultimately no one can make you a Priest or Priestess of Witchcraft, Shamanism & Magick - it is between your Higher Self and the Gods.
Prerequisite is completion of coursework consistent with that of Witchcraft, Shamanism & Magick I - Sparking the Inner Flame in the Spirit's Edge Mystery School. This is a one year class, and classes cannot be individually taken.
Level WSM I- IV graduates who satisfactorily complete their levels may apply to the next level in the Mystery School, barring any change in circumstances. The decision to accept a student is at the sole discretion of the instructor.

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.
In Love & Light,
