PaganismDiploma Course

The Paganism Diploma Course provides not only a foundational understanding of the history of Paganism, but also the means of practising Paganism or, at least, bringing it safely into your life.

You will learn what it really means to cast a spell and how to do it, as well as engage with other Pagan techniques such as centring, grounding and shielding yourself from negative or draining energies. You’ll gain a solid understanding of the European and Anglo-Saxon Paganism of the past to the Paganism currently practised within the British Isles today.

What Will You Learn?

Many of us have at least a vague sense of what Paganism is but this idea can too often be tainted by what we have been taught by those with a vested interest in opposing the beliefs and values of a true Pagan. While Paganism differs from one practitioner to the next, the Paganism Diploma Course aims to provide a clear understanding of where Paganism came from, how it has evolved, and the common practices of a Pagan.

Whether you wish to gain a clear understanding of Paganism from an academic point of view or if you are looking for guidance on how to begin practising Paganism, the Paganism Diploma Course provides the information and guidance you need.
