Hello everyone. I recently signed-up for an online psychic/witchcraft development course run by a witch I know. She reached out to me about it and sent over the syllabus, and I appreciated how she folded in the history of these practices and lots of meditation. The course also wasn't very expensive so I signed up.

While I'm a skeptical person, like most folks here (I think) I've been fascinated by paganism, ritual, and using magic as a way to create positive mental states...but I struggle with creating rituals that work for me. So this sounded like a good way to touch on different aspects of witchery/spirituality in a condensed timeframe.

But I also don't want to rain on the other participant's parade if they're more "believers". If you've taken classes on esoteric arts/witchcraft, how did you get the most value out of it while also being respectful of people who have different beliefs?
