My child; and yes, you are my child. I am your teacher. I am your Spirit Mother. And I am your High Priestess within the pages of this book.
It will be through my words that you will learn and grow into the Wiccan that you always wanted to be, and were meant to be. My only regret is that I will not be there with you with each success that you have, and the wonderful feelings that will overwhelm you at your first affiliation with the Goddess.
Even though I have taught at a University, and given Seminars across the country, I am not accustomed to teaching large groups. I always do my best teaching one on one. So as you traverse the pages of this book, know that I am speaking to you and you alone. Consider yourself my only student.
Now, the chances are that you have read many books on the subject of Wicca in your search. And one or two have told you that you have gone as far as you could when you finished the book, I’m sorry to say that you have only just begun. But don’t worry, I’ll take your hand and lead you through it.
My child, even though we have never met, I love you and will protect you each step along the way. So step boldly upon the path without fear or concern, with free will, and with perfect love, and perfect trust.
Lady Auriellia
High Priestess
