Welcome

Traditional Witchcraft at Blue Moon Manor is a resource for those interested in beginner traditional witchcraft, new seekers, old seekers, and all those that are curious.

Also known as Trad Witchcraft, this is the religious spirituality of The Traditional Craft of the British Isles with the Magical Arts as its core. Thus, this is not Wicca.

What we present on this website is not for your entertainment, but it is for your knowledge and awareness. It is not only for practitioners and seekers but also for those not comfortable with those aspects of Wicca that are based on non-Traditionalist witchcraft.

The beliefs and practices of Traditional Witchcraft draw upon a tremendous inheritance from those that preceded us on this Old Crooked Path; it forms the well rounded and profound journey that we travel today.

You are invited to look around and read about Blue Moon Manor Trad beliefs, opinions, and practices. But mind you, we expect those who do so to come with an open mind and with friendly intent.
