Magical Experience, Confidence, and Community
We live in a time of great blessings, but also many challenges. All of us can get overwhelmed by the state of our world, and the amount of information we take in - but many of those problems can be traced back to a separation from the natural world, and the unique inner powers of intuition and magic inside us. We know there are vibrant ways to reconnect fully with the web of life, instead of looking at it from afar, but it can be frustrating to try and find clear paths to follow.
North Wyldewood Tradition's Enter the Wyldewood - The Birch Path is an in-depth course that will lead you through the foundations of Wiccan magic and ritual – pulling together the skills and abilities that make Witchcraft a transformative, life-affirming path.
The Birch Path course facilitators, North Wyldewood Coven High Priestesses Denise and JoAnna, have over 25 years of teaching experience, guiding students on their journey with Wicca in a cohesive, step-by-step way.
For the first time this year, we’re offering this course online - take part in live, online rituals and events, a private Facebook discussion group, and live Q&A’s with High Priestesses Denise and JoAnna - all in an inclusive, supportive environment.

Learning the Language of Wicca
We know what it’s like to feel a little lost, or disconnected from our inner purpose and connection to the web of life. Co-teachers Denise and JoAnna have over 25 years of teaching experience, helping students form deep and precious relationships with the natural world, using the foundations of Wiccan magical practice to create positive, lasting changes in their lives.
Enter the Wyldewood - The Birch Path offers a clear, comprehensive course of study for creating effective rituals, practicing spellcraft, and casting circles and sacred space. We help students connect with the four Elements, the Ancestors, and the Gods, as well as with animistic, Earth-honoring ways of being, and the internal, intuitive senses which help us live heart-centered, authentic lives.
WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY...
“I remember I just couldn't wait for the next class, and the next class, and the next… The classes are not just for learning information, it is a place to exchange thoughts with other like-minded people in a safe space, appreciating each others' varying degrees of experience and knowledge, and with everyone on a quest to know more. I am happy to say it has changed my life for the better.”

Meet the Priestesses...
Co-High Priestess of the North Wyldewood Coven and co-founder of the Tradition, JoAnna is a graduate of the Juilliard School and a professional violinist. She discovered Wicca at age 12, and practiced as a solitary throughout her childhood. She is an original member of the North Wyldewood Coven, formed in 2003. She hosts the Coffee and Divination podcast, and is a practicing seer, specializing in a form of oracular divination inspired by the divinatory trance traditions of ancient Greece. She also leads the teaching of Ancestral work within the North Wyldewood Tradition. She practices permaculture, and combines her deep love of ecology and gardening with Pagan animism, and lives in northern VT with her husband and seven cats.
Denise Cruci
Co-High Priestess Denise Cruci formed the North Wyldewood Coven in 2003, and is a co-founder of the North Wyldewood Tradition. Outside of the Coven, but complimentary to her practice as a Witch, Denise has served as The Troth steward for the NYC area. After attending a Harafnar workshop, Denise and friends formed Bjornsal, performing spae at festivals and private events for several years. She was part of a NYC based Theodish group for almost 10 years, acting as their spaekona (Seeress) and, at some rituals, channeling Freya, her patron deity.

She is a teacher, new small business owner, and Brooklyn native, who lives with her boyfriend and their pit bull, The Duchess.
