I have been training in a course as outlined in Francesca de Grandis' book, Be A Goddess. It is a 15 work course but due to my busy schedule and my duties as an initiate of Candomble, it took me about 6 months rather than three. I'm good with it because we learn on our own pace. Also I finished at a good time, when I feel things are finally starting to turn around for the better in my life. I started this course at the end of January and finished yesterday. So I celebrated by doing two of the rituals in the book, the Honor Candle and Becoming the Goddess.
Francesca de Grandis is an initiate of the Feri tradition of Witchcraft as well as the founder of her own branch of Feri Shamanism, the Third Road®. She also has another book called Goddess Initiation, which I also have and is a one year course of study. I think I am going to hold off on that one for a while as I am preparing for my four year birthday in orisha this month. I think my next course of study is to study the Tarot more intently using this one particular book I own. I highly recommend Francesca's books and her training programs.
Her website is Shamanic Training
Blessed Be!

Becoming enlightened
A true spiritual person is a person at peace, a person who feels only love and light, a person without volatility, a person who is enlightened. With these guides there are few true spiritual people in the world. Jesus was a true spiritualist. He saw through the illusion and became enlightened and radiates with love and light. Buddha and he are perhaps the most well known spiritual people. Jesus’ most coveted words for a true spiritualist are “Be perfect as your father is perfect” This words hold the key is existence. Before you embark on your journey you must learn and accept that the mind cannot understand or comprehend true spirituality. The mind tries to assign form to everything and in spiritual reality we exist without form. You must learn without knowing, to think without thinking. To walk the path you must open your eyes. What is love to you? Is it a feeling, a state of mind? You must truly learn what love is. I cannot explain love to you for like all emotions it exists beyond form. The only thing I can do is help you try to learn by learning off the love of god. Just imagine someone who created you, gave you your consciousness, created an entire world for you gave you everything and lets you choose to even acknowledge. Someone who no matter what you do or say never gets cross with, someone who always loves you unconditionally.
Love is something you must experience for yourself. Unless you truly learn what learn what love is spirituality becomes a religion, a stream of fact riddled with form. The first thing to do is to learn to love. Reading this is a waste of time until you learn to love and feel love. Once you learn to love you must love. Love everything and everyone. Just imagine that feeling of love throughout the day as often as possible, until you live in a state of love. Once you live in a state of love you have unlocked the door to the Christian Salvation or the Buddhist’s Nirvana. Let your state of love engulf you and radiate with love indiscriminately, let your stress, your anxiety, your anger, your pain, your fear, be immersed in love and disappear. Begin to radiate with joy, happiness and peace. Let your worries about your possessions, the next day or even the next moment wear away, begin to live in the Now. Lose all of your identification with words and titles
Once you have reached this constant state of peace, you have truly became enlightened, truly became spiritual. In your constant state of love you have become a benefit to mankind, a cleansing force, spreading love with your presence and your gaze.
From a young one deep in the path
The specific characteristics of the Feri practice is the use of certain powers or the current characteristics of dynamic Feri species. Feri witches usually think of themselves as dead. The fact that many of them not visible, or at least limit is uncertain. In the conventional wisdom has a profound respect for nature, to enjoy and semantic bardic creativity.
