Classes of Witchcraft and Magic

I taught my first ‘official’ class on witchcraft and magic last night on Centring and Grounding, there will be 12 more classes.  8 people arrived some quite early but most on time, and they were an interesting group.  They enjoyed what i was saying and all took part in the exercise.  I have a strong feeling that i will be learning just as much as the people i am teaching, which is how it should be...

There is a certain amount of responsibility i feel as i am teaching.  Do they understand what i am teaching them, do they know that they do not have to do it the way i have explained, are they getting what i am not saying.  These questions generally come up in my mind before and after classes.  During classes i am in a completely different head space, it is perhaps like channelling, or being in an trance of some description, because it feels natural and what i am going to say next or how i am going to explain and engage these people who have come to me to learn just seems to flow as opposed to not flow.. there is a strong engaging with spirit with that calling i have had for a very long time. 

I quite enjoyed how the class weaved around in and out of topic, as witchcraft and magic is not a linear thing really, because it is a way of life it is more spiral or cyclitic .. *waves hand in an expressive way* 

Yes last night was excellent.. and i am quite looking forward to next lesson in a fortnight.

In my experience I have found you will learn more than the people you are teaching.

I used to joke when people asked me why I did not charge them, I would say I should be paying you.

yeah, i have spoken to quite a few teachers of varing sorts both magical and non magical, so to speak, and many of them have noted that if you are not learning then you are not teaching! *grins*..

am quite looking forward to seeing the new stuff i will be learning, there has already been a bunch of learning going with the prepreation for these classes. so far i have learn't how to prepare a lesson plann, how to facilitate, and have gone on a wonderful trip down memory lane as i pondered the question "if there were classes of witchcraft and magic when i first started out what would i of wanted to learn" tehehe..
