The WMT-TwinPaths of Wicca |
This is another new creation in order to have a place to put all the music, pictures, files and other items that are now overflowing our Yahoo Group Site.
WMT-TwinPaths was created by
David Sands . It all started with his essay on
What is Paganism, followed by
Intro to Wicca, followed by a simple free on-line course, which of course meant we needed
WMT-TwinPaths Yahoo Group for the seekers to discuss what they were doing and learning and how they were progressing. Followed by several groups around the world. Then in 2004 we started a geocities web site to hold extra files and photo's, it's full, so now we have this website.
Which I hope will be just as wonderful as all the rest.
On last years web site we shared many Grimoires, however we ran out of space before we could finish. So here are the final three. Hope it satisfies your curiosity about what old Grimoires were all about, and what makes them different from A Book Of Shadows.

The SomerCamps and Mini Camps are on special photo pages to allow for commentary and a little fun. The rest of the photos are in our geocities photo albums for easy access and to take advange of the extra 30 mg of photo space that geocities allows.
And of course I wasn't the only one taking photo's. These are from Lin.
Every year in Fen Ditton our HP has a wonderful May Pole celebration for the children.
Lin's special project is to take a photo of the same area each mother to document the changes thru the year. If anyone else would like to do this just let us know and we'll show you how.
One of the hardest parts about working solitary is not actually knowing what the chants sound like.
They take up a lot of space, so we've decided to add one per website:
Earth is My Body - Download this chant
I'd been trying to get a copy of Dion Fortune's book THE SECRETS OF DR TAVERNER for ages and ages. When I found it, it was just too expensive. Now it's available in pdf format absolutely free. Patience was the key I suppose.
Our founder and High Priest has always said that we study the Chakra system because he believes that the Ancient Britons must have had a system similiar to this that has been lost. This is entirely possible as the Golden Dawn did indeed have a similar system, and Israel Regardie writes about one in this article based on the Jewish mystical system of the Qabala. The Art of True Healing, by Israel Regardie
I'm sure you've all heard about Cornelius Agrippa. A Christian Occultist with a very popular grimoir that just goes to show how much things have changed in the last 5 or 6 hundred years or so.
Anyway, if you want a taste of his material, we have a pdf on Geomancy.
Another favorite study of our High Priest is John Dee. These are some of his most popular works:
The Hierogyphic Monad
Mysteriorum Primus or The Mysteries part 1.
Notes on The Mysteries part 1.
Mysteriorum Secundus or The Mysteries part 2.
Mysteriorum Tertius or The Mysteries part 3.
For those who don't know who Dr John Dee is:
