The Path of the Wyllt

 

Seership Training 2024-2025

 

Welcome to The Path of the Wyllt. This year long training will introduce students to the basic concepts of Seership and Cunning practices in the ancient British Tradition, supported by the surviving mythology of these Isles, and the evidence left to us in archaeology, history and folklore.

 

This course will take you on a journey into the wild self, exploring the themes and beliefs of our early ancestors.

 

Participation on this training is dependent on two conditions having been met:

 

  • The student has attended the Four Directions weekend workshop.

  • The student has completed the application form, upon which I will receive guidance from Spirit.

 

I would ask that if your application is unsuccessful, that you do not take this personally. My Guides will let me know why, and I will pass on that information. It may be that there is some spiritual work that needs to be done beforehand, and once completed, you will be able to access the next course.

 

This is a very traditional way of working, a way which might seem quite alien in our society which demands instant gratification and expects the power of money to bring us anything we want. The Spirits do not see it that way, and I have been repeatedly instructed to be extremely careful in my selection.

 

There is also the issue of numbers. I must be mindful that we can, realistically, only manage a maximum of 12 souls in each venue due to its size, and for our own ability to support each individual and hold space for them.

 

Please note that this course is being presented to two groups of participants at two venues. The couse run at The Warren in Somerset is now fully booked.

Places are available for the course in Devon with dates to be confirmed shortly.
