For many years Janet
Farrar and Gavin Bone have been running
covens. Most people will be aware of this from reading
their books, particularly
The Witches Bible,
which was, of course, based on their practical working of
a coven in Ireland. In 2001, they formed a new coven,
and with it they decided to create a new system of
working for a modern age of witchcraft. It had
traditional elements, but also taught a system of
understanding magic which could be appropriate to the
understanding of any tradition of magic. They had been
developing this system for several years from
experiences of giving workshops around the world,
including the United States, Australia and Europe.
Eventually this system was to become a series of weekend
intensive workshops, called The Inner Mysteries
Intensives, the purpose of which was to give an
understanding of the Wiccan Mysteries. Through these
workshops, they began to notice a yearning by some
for teachings related to the more practical side of
magic; a deeper understanding of Spellcraft and
magic was being requested from them. At the same
time they were being asked if they would consider
doing correspondence courses by those who, because
of practical reasons, were unable to attend the
workshops they gave during tours. The internet has
now finally given them the opportunity to reach a
large audience with the material they have been
teaching since the mid 1990’s and they are now
bringing these teachings to you at Sacred Mists

Progressive Magic: A Course in
Practical Modern Witchcraft
By Janet Farrar and Gavin
Bone
The Progressive Magic Course was
designed for those from an intermediate to advanced
level who want to take the next step in their
understanding of magic. Janet and Gavin would like to
point out that it is not for beginners,
but for those who are already familiar with the
terminology of modern Wicca and Magical practice. The
course is
staged in seven lessons, spanning seven months, and the structure of the course
itself is an integral part of the teaching as it uses a
magical energy system and cosmology based on seven. For
this reason alone it can be considered a truly
‘holistic’ course in that it brings together the many
facets of magic into one understandable system
appropriate to the modern age. This is what is meant
when they use the term ‘progressive’ in the title of the
course. They also point out that this is not a
course in Wicca; unless it is appropriate they
are not teaching the religious aspects of witchcraft,
only those aspects related to the practice of practical
magic in a witchcraft context. There are no teachings
regarding Wiccan History, Coven Structure, Degrees or
Initiation. What they do cover in the seven lessons are
the following:
- What is Magic?
- The Philosophy and dynamics of
Magic.
- The Psychology of Magic.
- Magical Laws and Magical Ethics.
- The Four Elements in Magic.
- Ether, Mind and Spirit in Magic.
- How Magic Works: Using and
working with Magical Energy and Magical Cosmology.
- Methods of Spellcraft: Using
Correspondences, Magical Scripts and the Creation of
Thought Forms.
- How Magic causes change in the
self: The Mysteries related to Magic.
- Spirit Forms related to Magical
Practice: Working with Guides, Guardians and Gods.
Each lesson builds on the
previous one to build a system you can
understand and work with the course is a journey
of discovery into the world of magic and
witchcraft, and more importantly your part in
it. This is why they have included a large
practical element, which includes regular
magical energy exercises, as well as
pathworkings, which explore the magical
cosmology.
Because so many people nowadays
have access to magical techniques through magazines and
the internet, they like to use the following analogy
regarding the role of the witch in the modern era:
‘It is not enough to know how to drive the car: You have
to know how the engine works’. Magic is the car, and
what Janet and Gavin teach in this course is the
mechanics. They feel that it is important for the modern
witch to know what to do if something goes wrong,
particularly in an age when the majority of witches are
now solitary or cyberpagans.

Earn Your Certification in
Progressive Magic from Janet Farrar and Gavin Bone
Janet and Gavin have decided to certificate this course, so for this
reason there are regular essays and research
assignments. To complete the course and be eligible for
certification it will be necessary to complete and pass
three essays set over the duration of the course. We
would like to point out that the certification is really
‘icing on the cake’. What is important is the experience
you will gain on this course and, for this reason we expect
every student enrolled to keep a Course Diary, a
Progressive Magic journal if you will, which
will be your blueprint for future magical work.
Janet and Gavin
hope you will join them on this journey of magical
discovery and look forward to getting to know you.
