Beginner's Kit

This page is dedicated specifically to those of you who have found your way here who are new to Wicca. You may have found a book in the library and felt as though you came home when you read it, you may have met someone who is Wiccan, or you may have found this Pagan religion through a variety of means.

It doesn't matter how you found Wicca, the fact is that you found it. And now you are looking for more information.

This is the page for you.

I am not going to do a whole lot of writing on this page, what I am going to do is to link you to other pages on this site that are designed to educate you in Wicca and give you a place to start from. Consider this the Wicca 101 course you need. I'm not going to assign anything for you to do, but I will try to get all the articles I have been writing over the years and all the references I have compiled.

I will try to break these down into sections so you can keep your place, instead of just a list of links.
