Outline of Studies The Druidic Craft of the Wise The First Book of Wisdom teaches the philosophy, upon which all further study is based; the Landmarks of Wisdom, which are the organizational guidelines; and the Legends, which knit the past to the present. (Sign up for courses on the Contact page or by clicking here.) Upon completion of the First Book of Wisdom the student must choose one of two paths: The First Path is the study of mental magic in the lessons of The 2nd Book of Wisdom. The student who chooses this path first must receive the Apprentice Initiation and the secrets of the 3 Keys of mental Magic. This Initiation is an hour ceremony which must be given to the student in person by the Priesthood. This Initiation is a teaching/learning experience which demonstrates the keys that unlock the door to the secrets of mental magic and the path that leads within. This Initiation qualifies the Apprentice to study The 2nd Book of Wisdom which are lessons that refine the use of these Three Sacred Keys and gives the Apprentice the time to practice with guidance from the more experienced and become proficient in manifesting one's desires. There are 48 lessons, which take about a year to complete. Proficiency with the 3 Keys of Mental Magic and the resulting regular manifestation of one's desires is not only encouraged, but expected, before the next initiation as a member of the Fellowship of the Wise. The Second Path is the study of Natural Medicine. This course is a 2-year study having approximately 80 lessons and is also available for the student who is unable to receive the Apprentice Initiation due to distance, but wishes to continue with the studies available to them in the Natural Medicine course. In this study you will learn the Good Medicine philosophy of healing through our connection to the Source of Life. These deeper teachings are then applied to the easy to understand lessons and beautifully simple techniques within the study of Good Medicine. At the end of this course, the Student will again have the opportunity to study the magical training in The 2nd Book of Wisdom. Upon completion of the The 2nd Book of Wisdom, and demonstration of proficiency with the 3 Keys of Mental Magic, the Apprentice is then ready for Fellowship Initiation whereupon he is given Two more Sacred Keys which enable us to meld our minds as one for the purpose of group magical practices. There are then, studies that refine the use of the Five Sacred Keys, which we refer to as the Star Book of Wisdom. Those who join the Fellowship of the Wise again have two Paths available which they must choose between: The First Path for the Fellow of the Craft is to join a Star Ring and learn proficiency with the 5 Sacred Keys of Group Magical Practice. The understanding you need to begin this practice comes from the study of the 7 lessons in the Star Book of Wisdom. The Second Path for the Fellow of the Craft is the study of Natural Medicine, if this has not been studied previously. Those who learn to work with the power of Love experience an increased desire to relieve pain and bring happiness. This course in Natural Medicine allows you to practice the Way of Love in the healing of your brothers and sisters. This is a 2-year study having approximately 80 lessons and is also available for the student who is unable to receive the Apprentice Initiation. While no magical training is necessary for the practice of natural medicine, it is a natural way to practice magic as a powerful aid in your healing ability. As a Fellow of the Craft, the member is ready to teach the 1st and 2nd Books to any he may find with a desire to know. Teaching is a blessing in itself, because the wise teacher realizes that we all have a piece of the puzzle. When the teacher can discuss the concepts in such a way that the student can see and explain how he can apply it to his life, then the teacher comes away with increased understanding from every student taught. Therefore, the more you teach, the more you learn. When the “Fellow of the Craft” has gathered up a group of students and has brought them through the initial lessons, he or she then may be elected as the group leader(s). These elected leaders are then eligible for Priesthood training. All initiates have their free will to follow whomever they choose, and to elect their own leaders. The students will elect to follow the teacher who loves them, and whose inner work allows the Celestial Light to shine brightly through them. Students are attracted to that “Light” as a moth is to a candle flame. Teaching then becomes self-regulating, because the teachers who shine the brightest will keep their students. Those who are selfish, argumentative, or obviously don’t practice the teachings, will lose their students, because the “light” will fade from them. Members of the Priesthood then have the added option of being able to study the Advanced Magical Practices, including the development and enhancement of ESP skills, among other things. Throughout all these studies, the Five Arts of Harmony are learned and practiced: - Music: The vibrating of the voice or other instrument, vibrates the internal organs, and becomes healing. We thereby learn harmony with self.
- Dance: The moving together with healing music in a predefined pattern, teaches us harmony with others.
- Agriculture: Gardening teaches us to be in harmony with the Earth Mother and all her colorful seasons as the Great Wheel turns moving us through planting, tending, harvesting, and preserving.
- Natural Medicine: Herbal plants grown in harmony with Mother Nature's cycles used for the purpose of healing ourselves and our Brothers and Sisters, extends that harmony between ourselves and the Earth Mother to our greater spiritual family.
- Astrology: The study of the harmony of the stars and how they are our Elder Brothers who influence and urge us to learn the lessons we have set forth for ourselves in this life.
