In starting our magical life, we begin to understand the nature of the elements, Air, Fire, Water, Earth and Spirit. We become aware of our own life energy. And the energy of others, we learn to sence it and as we learn to work with it, we become more intuned with the natural world around us. We discover our link to the world around us. And as we grow we must remember the only major Law of Wicca. (The Wiccan Reade), and what is mean to be Wiccan (Principles of Belief)
******************************

Take the time now to review the Wiccan Reade and the Principles of belief, record in your shadows if your ideas and views of them. If you do not have a copy of these documents please take the time now to e-mail me Lady Simone for a copy of them. or go to basic Wicca lesson 2
