I have been thinking alot lately about the thought of being dedicated to the craft. I don't know of anyone in my town who could do this for me, but it has occured to me that I can also do it for myself. I know that it is not neccecery to do it at all but th emore I think about it, the more I realize that this is what I want. I wondered, has anyone else here done that for themselves. Does anyone know of some books or websites that would give good inforation on self dedications?
Thanks for any advice. :) :D

I was never initiated into the craft. I believe what I believe and practice magick my own way. I don't need someone telling me "your accpeted" in order for me to believe something or claim I believe something.

I would suggest doing research first, books or something. I don't really know of any.

Blessed Be,
Wolf Heart

Blazewind, check out "the Complete Book of Witchcraft" by Raymond Buckland. That's a great book and makes a point to cover self initiation.

Wolf-Heart, the point of this is that SHE wants to take the path for herself. There's noone else involved to tell her she's accepted. Her own heart will do that.

You're coming up to Edmonton? Then go to Sanctuary, they always have a copy or two there.

Oh yes. I like that little store to. I think I will make a point of trying to go down there. I'm bringing my sister to the city anyway, and I think she would like that store too.
