Core Curriculum & Focus-Courses

Witch Academy is your gateway to mastering the art, science, and spirit of witchcraft. As the oldest and most highly respected online school for witchcraft, it has inspired and educated generations since its founding in 1996 on the PaganPath.com domain. With a legacy spanning decades, Witch Academy alumni include best-selling authors—and now even their grandchildren are enrolling to follow in their footsteps.

With three core areas of study—Witchcraft, Herbs, and Tarot—Witch Academy offers comprehensive, ongoing courses for every level, from beginner to advanced. These foundational courses are designed to take you deeper into your craft, empowering you with skills and confidence to thrive. The Practical Witchcraft course, led by Friday Gladheart (author of The Practical Witch’s Almanac), guides you from the basics to truly advanced magical work. Reading the Tarot teaches you to read cards like a pro, while Wortcunning & Herbalism takes you on a journey from seed to spell, showing you how to grow your own herbs and craft everything from magical incense to lip balms.

In addition to the core curriculum, Witch Academy offers Focus Courses that let you explore specialized topics like color magic, candle magic, runes, DIY herbal projects, incense making, and more. With videos, audio classes, interactive exams, and even podcasts, the new platform combines modern convenience with time-honored tradition.

If you’ve been waiting to deepen your craft or discover a supportive magical community, Witch Academy is calling. Whether you’re just beginning your journey or looking to hone your expertise, this is your chance to join a legacy of wisdom and practice. Don’t just study witchcraft—live it!
