Below, is what the upcoming W101 online course will consist of. It will be a class where everyone is expected to work very hard, and not just read and answer questions, but write and DO things. Just as an FYI. Sometimes free online classes tend to be easier than IRL classes. These are based upon my IRL classes, and so they aren't going to be easy. Just wanted to throw out that disclaimer.

I'm hoping that this will be released with the new launch of the NEW CoT next month, but it may be mid September before I have enough content in there to feel comfortable with releasing it.

I'd really like to enroll in this class as well. On the current CoT site, I think it's Beginning/Beginner Wicca? I have enrolled, you just need to approve it. Also, I got the CoT site to work to let me log in. I think it was just IE being stupid.

If you notice- the name of the class has FULL in it. Its full, and the class is actually almost over. Unfortunately, my schedule does not allow for me to take late students- however I may be teaching it again in the winter/spring of the new year. :)

I really want to enroll in this one. I will keep checking back to see if it is open again.

I will be checking back, also. I've gotten Real Life into a place where I can actually finish a class online.

Hi Ivy,

You mentioned starting the class up again in December. I looked half way through the month and the Wicca 101 class showed FULL next to it. Has this class restarted and is already full? or will a new one be starting?

Thank you :)

I've actually removed it from the list of browsable courses- I won't be starting this for some time now. I need to finish the circuit of W101 IRL classes I'm doing.
