Curriculum

 

(updated 8/6/07)

 

 



The curriculum is presented in three levels:

Each level includes a final project. To view students final projects, please visit the OWM Goddess Gallery.

Level I (four months) focuses on Goddess studies, sacred space, ritual, and personal empowerment. The first level essentially serves as a foundation for daily practice. Students observe the seasons, connect with the moon, and begin mediation, energy work, and spell crafting. Both novice and experienced students are required to begin with Level I. In this, and each subsequent level, students create a final project focused on a particular Goddess.

Level II (four months) deepens the study of meditation and energy work and introduces the practice of divination, focusing on the Motherpeace Tarot. This level also contains a strong emphasis on chakra work and self-healing. Level II students choose to follow the Path of Prayer or the Path of Magick.

Level III (five months) strongly emphasizes dream, astral, and shamanic work, and introduces body-based lunar astrology. In addition, students choose three elective areas of study: gemstones, herbs, candle magick, dream work, healing, and Tarot spells. For the last month, students undergo a practical internship in teaching, divination, healing, or prayer.

Level IV ministry training is open to Level III graduates. Level IV graduates are eligible to receive ordination through the Order of the White Moon.

Students must satisfactorily complete all of the assignments in order to receive course certificates. Levels II & III include some elective course offerings but most of the course material is required.

Ceremonial Cords and Completion Certificates are awarded at no extra cost to those completing each level.

Level I: Initiate, Order of the White Moon * (white cord)
Level II: Adept, Order of the White Moon* (red cord)
Level III: Priestess, Order of the White Moon* (black cord)

and through the mother order:
