Fairy Witch Training aka Faerie Shamanism Training
* Witchcraft, straight up * spells to manifest worldly goals * personal growth * increased intuition * accessible to beginners * advanced practitioners reach their next level * power to serve your tribe *
Classes are teleseminars—group meetings by phone. Call the event phone number to participate.
Training consists of four courses. They are the core entry-level Witch training. They are also prerequisites for advanced Shamanic training.
Each course provides:
* solid magical techniques
* spells for worldly goals
* core Third Road teachings. The Third Road is the name of the Faerie Shamanism tradition I teach, aka Fairy Witchcraft
* down-to-earth applications of Pagan mysticism. My mysticism is grounded in practical spell-crafting. In other words, Witch spirituality integrates Mysteries with common sense. The combination improves your whole life.
* experiences of the Goddess and God as living entities Who protect, bless, and utterly adore you
* the ancient Faery Faith’s transformative beauty
* rites for personal growth
* empowerment to be of maximum service to your tribe
* increased intuition
* ancient Goddess spirituality: The Great Mother Goddess is inclusive. She embraces all beings. That includes all races, male Gods, genders, gender-benders, and everyone else. You won’t find a more motley crew anywhere.
Each person has unique magical and mundane talents. This training invokes and nurtures your particular Shamanic and worldly skill sets. You attain rich selfhood and can serve tribe by expressing yourself.
Lessons do not lay out a path we’re all supposed to walk (ick!) but instead support your particular path—your life, your needs, your spiritual and mundane journey.
Instead of a Shamanic approach to which you’re expected to conform to be a “real” Shaman (ick!), you’ll be in a Shamanic journey that suits who you are and where you presently are.
The four courses weave into a whole far greater than the sum of its parts.
A teacher in probably the world’s largest Pagan tradition studied with me. She later said, “I wish my tradition had material as advanced as Francesca’s.” She was referring to my entry-level classes:
Adepts experience sufficient depth and challenges, but beginners are not overwhelmed or left to fall behind. Different people experience the training differently, so it provides the specific magical power your spirit and life require.
Don’t spin your wheels. In our very first meeting, you enter a circle of power. Expect immense progress in a fraction of the time you’ve spent elsewhere on typical lessons.
No prerequisites required except for one course—The Be a Goddess Master Class. That class’s description (below) explains further.
This eight-month Shamanic journey has three powerful aspects:
1) 27 lessons. We meet via teleseminars—group phone calls. To participate, call the event phone number.
We’ll work in old-style oral tradition, which allows rapid, immense headway. Enrollment is limited to 16 people because Shamanic oral tradition training ceremonies can only take place in a small group.
A small group also allows each participant to receive individualized attention, should they want that support.
I commit to my students. A Shamanic journey is personal. Traditional Shamanic lessons include individualized attention, which tailors the training to you.
2) Direct spiritual transmissions occur each meeting. They deepen the rituals, make them safer, and foster experiential understanding of the course material.
The transmissions also enliven your cells, so your magic wakes to its next level of power as do your mundane strengths.
There are other benefits; the transmissions’ energies adapt to your needs, blessing your internal and external life.
Oral tradition and direct spiritual transmissions are part and parcel.
If you are unfamiliar with my spiritual transmissions and want to know more about them than the benefits they provide during the training, click here for a deep dive.
3) One-on-one support by phone. If something comes up for you that would take too long to address during a group meeting, or you want to privately discuss anything, I’m available.
Take the entire training or participate in a single course. Each course stands on its own, a training unto itself.
Below are the four courses, in the order they’ll be held. A caveat about their descriptions:
The course descriptions divide Fairy magic into categories. But Fey magic defies categories and cannot be divided. When I cast a spell to shift a part of myself or my life, the magic is all-encompassing. Fae magic is the living, loving presence of the Faery Queen and King. During a Fairy ceremony, these Gods not only achieve my goal(s) for the ceremony but, in Their enthusiastic love for me, bless my whole person and enchant my entire life.
So, while each course focuses overtly on certain benefits or approaches, other benefits come. Additional approaches come into play, perhaps subtly. Shamanism is integrative.
A course’s description focuses on its overt aspects. However, to a significant extent, each course provides all the benefits that the other courses do. This truly integrative Shamanism evokes major power.
Also, near the top of this post, is a list of the benefits each one of the courses offers. I don’t repeat all that in a course description.
Course One: Faerie Shamanism—an Ecstatic Path
The curriculum includes:
* Ecstatic rituals
* Theoretical basics of Faerie Shamanism
* More complex aspects
* Faerie wisdoms
Course material also helps you discover or deepen your Fey magic. Faerie Shamanism expresses itself differently in each practitioner. I help you build that personal expression while also offering techniques for your magical toolbox.
You are on a unique journey. The Faerie Shamanism class steadies your feet.
You also:
* Receive Shamanic training that increases pleasure
* Discover Fey moral stances that increase pleasure
* Gain the material satisfactions of an ecstatic practitioner, without addictions or illusions snaring you
* Embrace wholeness in all your many facets.
Holy Sweaty Joy—Ecstatic Spirituality & Sacred Sexuality
Religious bigots consider Witches unholy because our religion teaches us to take life by the horns and use revelry to reach goals—bounty, self-fulfillment, joy, beauty, service to our community, and more.
Claim the ancient revelry magics of the Faerie ecstatic path. Delight in Faery Faith rituals and mysteries:
* Enjoy both magical and worldly celebrations that heal your spirit, empower you, and help you reach life goals. The fun rites transform you and your life even when all else fails.
* Move past inner blocks to your inherent, sacred sensuality.
* Affirm your unique, bewitching sexuality.
* Be a sex God(dess)!
* Imbue daily activities with confidence, passion, and vigor.
* Honor your true self, so your authenticity shapes decisions.
* Own your joy.
Gentle Heart, Palm Up—Peacefully Conquering Challenges
Overcoming challenges, great or small, mundane or spiritual, is a traditional method of gaining Shamanic power.
This course offers Shamanic tools to triumph over problems, whether an “everyday dilemma” or traumatizing devastation. These same tools build magical strengths that can manifest whatever you desire in any area of your life. This traditional way of gaining Shamanic power is a core aspect of Shamanism. As I said, all four courses provide core aspects.
As always, lessons are not theoretical. This class provides the experience of gaining mystic power to conquer your immediate problems and how that creates the exact magical strengths, methods, and mental shifts needed to overcome all life’s difficulties and fulfill life goals.
The last thing any of us need is a class that’s too hard. Like most of my classes, this Witchcraft is gentle and peaceful, yet potent.
Gentle rituals can be more effective than obviously strong rites. Sometimes, only gentleness draws forth our wildness and helps us live free.
You’ll learn a Witchy fluidity that makes you unstoppable. I jokingly coined the terms Faerie Taoism and Fae Chi Gung to explain this course: We relaxedly flow with nature’s patterns, so nothing can stop us.
Gentle Heart, Palm Up training saves you mega-time: Move through roadblocks quickly and serenely, instead of wandering stymied and anxious. Conquer problems peacefully.
This material helped heal me and my life from the trauma of becoming crippled overnight in 2001 and the crises—e.g., financial problems—that can domino from major illness. I was so ill that, when channeling these lessons, I could not type or even hand-write them. I dictated them to someone.
Because of these lessons, I rose like the Phoenix. At age 76, I’m healthier than I was in 2001, my finances recovered beautifully, and my spirit is whole. I am happy.
Course Four: The Be a Goddess Master Class
This fourth Goddess spirituality training provides the following blessings. If you already have them, they reach the next level:
* You learn new magical techniques and new ways to apply magic from the book Be a Goddess!—for whatever you need: prosperity, creativity, or anything else. This course, like the other three, increases the magical and mundane abilities to meet any challenge or opportunity.
* Profound soul-healing occurs, sometimes so easily that you don’t notice it until later.
* Your inner Deity provides power, confidence, and strong, constant guidance.
* We connect with the Old Gods deeply. So Their blessings on our lives increase, and we revel in the blissful joy of Their companionship.
* Fey-touched joy that makes life worth living ignites.
* Serving community in the ways that your heart wants becomes possible.
* I teach you unpublished, advanced facets of spells from my book, Be a Goddess. These facets have a wide range of applications. In the same vein, tools taught in prerequisites for The Be a Goddess Master Class will gain greater power.
Feeling powerless? This class will change that.
Feel plenty of power? If you’re not achieving everything you want, this course is the next step.
Prerequisite for The Be a Goddess Master Class
Complete one of the following to take the Master Class:
* first 12 lessons in my book, Be a Goddess!
* first 8 lessons in my book, Goddess Initiation
* one entry-level class in Third Road’s Mystic Rose branch (which I taught face-to-face in San Francisco)
I scheduled The Be a Goddess Master Class as the last of the four classes, to give you time to fulfill one of the prerequisites if you haven’t already.
If you start soon, there’s time to do the first 12 lessons in my book Be a Goddess!.
If it has been a long time since you did one of the prerequisites, it doesn’t matter. You’ve done the work.
Don’t feel like you did it well enough? Doesn’t matter. You did the lessons. Learning Witchcraft is a process. Give yourself a chance to move ahead with it, toward your life goals. You can always return to earlier work later.
Schedule
The eight-month training has 27 lessons, all on Mondays, from noon to 1:00, Pacific Time, starting Feb 9.

There Is Only Now
If you want my core Witch material, it might be now or never. The last time I led this training was five years ago. Before that, it was between six and three years since I’d taught some of these courses.
But there is the now, and the sky’s the limit. Immediately, we’ll dive into ultra-focused lessons between the worlds for immediate power.
Along with the four above prerequisites, two qualifying electives are required before advanced training. You might have already taken them without knowing it. Here are some recent events that qualify:
* Magic Lemonade
* Join the Fairy Magic Circus
* Seven Core Powers of Fairy Magic
* Fairy Nomad Magic
* Your Talents and Goals can serve as both electives
* Lessons about the De Grandis Faerie Shaman Oracle Deck can serve as both electives
There are plenty of other qualifying electives. I can give you that list once I know you’re interested in the advanced training.
Sometimes, we can delay an elective if you haven’t done two before an advanced training begins.
The advanced training will start in the fall, 2026, if enough folks are interested.
You can’t find these lessons elsewhere. I’m utterly grateful the Goddess whispered them to me because they’ve saved me over and over. More about my curriculum-creation process:
* When teaching orally, I’m ensconced within a family oral tradition I entered in infancy, learning magic con leche. I receive experiential wisdom-lessons not taught elsewhere.
* Raised in a European-based Shamanic family tradition that includes Italian sorcery, Celtic Shamanism, and magic from other cultures, I teach a multicultural Faerie Shamanism.
* I thoughtfully, joyfully, carefully channel curriculums, constructing lessons over time. This tunes us into enormous, subtle powers. You won’t pay for a jumble of undigested white-bread ideas that an unprepared teacher declared, “Voila, genuine Pagan stuff!” 🙂 Instead, I committed my life to developing material for you.
* I received full-time, long-term Shamanic training. It was not academic but an experiential training of skill sets. That focused study allowed me into the heart of reality, in trance 24-7, channeling lessons for seven years.
* For decades since, my Gods have wanted me to trance only part of the day, to ground me. Feet on the ground, I explore our magical yet earthy cosmos and channel new earth-based mysticism, because resting on my laurels would be no fun. I like fun.
Fairy Witch, Francesca De Grandis, is the bestselling author of Be a Goddess! and Goddess Initiation. A teacher, guide, and healer, she offers long-distance classes, rituals, private counseling, and healings. Her Goddess spirituality embraces practical magic spells. Raised in a European-based Shamanic family tradition of La Vecchia Religione, Celtic Shamanism, and magic from other cultures, Francesca’s Witchcraft is a multicultural Faerie shamanism. La Vecchia Religione translates the Old Religion and refers to the practices of an Italian Witch, also known as a Strega.
