NOTE: We are in the process of moving the classes on a new website, with a better structure and multiple functionality. You will be able to have access to online written material, videos, tests and many more. Once the development of the new website will be achieved, the user database will be moved there. You will be notified by e-mail of the new address as well as of the credentials you will need in order to log in to the new website. Until then, a comment feature is enabled, so you can post your questions from now on directly on the page of the class, not having to go necessarily to the discussion board in order to discuss the classes. Of course, you need to be logged in in order to do that.
Welcome to the Sage Grove Coven's free online classes. These classes will take you through the basics of the Old Ways witchcraft of Eastern and South-Eastern Europe as it has been transmitted through generations and is still practised nowadays in that area of the world. We do add from time to time classes related to energy work, mythology and other subjects, if we receive feed-back from students that it is a desired subject of study. You need to be aware that what is understood by "basics" is quite extensive. We are trying to keep these classes as un-biased spiritually as possible, and focus mainly on witchcraft. We do NOT teach the spirituality of the Eastern Europe Old Ways, neither do we proselytize or do recruiting for our coven. Be aware that if after reading our coven's website and laws you decide that you want to become one of our dedicated for initiation, the requirements of study, knowledge and moral fiber are quite hard and not everybody makes it.The only reason these classes were initiated is to pass on the Old Ways witchcraft knowledge unaltered for the ones who want to learn it, but due to distance and financial reasons are unable to attend the live classes. In order to be able to view the Live Online Classes as well as the recordings of the past classes, you need to register. To do that, please use the "Registration" link on the left-hand side menu. After filling in the registration form, you will receive shortly an e-mail confirming your registration, and giving you a temporary password, that you can change once you log in for the first time. This is done in order to prevent internet bots and spam. Make sure the email address your register with is a valid one, otherwise you will not receive the email with the information and you will not be able to log in. Repeated attempts to register with a non-valid email address will bring an IP ban. Following the menu link "Live Broadcast" you will be able to watch the Sunday class. As the live broadcast is only on Sundays at 5:00 pm CDT (unless otherwise posted) - when there is nothing on broadcast, you will only see a slide-show. When the live broadcast starts, you will be asked for a password. The password will be provided in the chat box (viewable by registered members only as well). Following the menu link "Previous Classes" you will be able to watch the recordings of the previous classes. As a suggestion, if you just registered and started to follow the online classes, try and start with the first ones and work your way from there (Starting with the energy work classes). There is a reason that they have been taught in this specific order, and the results will not be the same if you don't follow the normal line. Same if you skip some of them or watch only a few. It is like a house: in order to build it, you need to set the bricks one by one, in a certain order. Both these links are visible only for registered users. Once you register and start following the curricula, you can discuss the classes directly in the comments feature on the page of each class. From time to time homework assignments are given. They are posted on the same page where the recording of the respective class is located. Usually the assignments are to be e-mailed before noon of the day of the next class. Please do mention if you agree for your assignment to be discussed freely in the class or you prefer to have it discussed in a private e-mail. During the class, please feel free to ask your questions in the chat box on the left-hand side (the chat box is viewable only by registered members who are logged in). Someone will be close to the monitor in order to read your question. If you do not login for two consecutive months, your account will be deleted. Thank you, and welcome.
