The Ahimsa Tradition of Witchcraft blends the Hindu philosophy of henotheism with The Craft, incorporating the Hindu pantheon and aspects of puja and meditation with more traditional Craft practice.

There are three levels within The Ahimsa Tradition.  Levels One and Two are designed to work independently of Level Three, thereby giving the student enough information to pursue a path different from our Tradition if they choose.  Level One and Two are approximately 12 weeks or so in length, and deal more with traditional Craft theory and practice.  Level Three is the full training for The Ahimsa Tradition, and is a year and a day in length.  Upon  completion, students may apply to be initiated into The Ahimsa Tradition of Witchcraft.

Level One is called The Practical, and revolves around the neuroscience behind witchcraft, the research of the many traditions of Paganism, and the ethics behind personal responsibility.   Level Two is called The Poetry, and introduces the student to the tools and the art of witchcraft.  Level two will also briefly touch on the differences between other paths and The Ahimsa Tradition Of Witchcraft, allowing the student to decide if they wish to proceed on to Level Three.  Level Three is a full year and a day, and is a full immersion into Hindu spirituality combined with traditional Craft work.  Level Three is by invitation only, and the student must have successfully completed Levels One and Two to petition for acceptance into Level Three.

We are fortunate here at The Magickal Attic to have a direct Indian source on knowledge and Hindu traditions, and our source will be traveling to India at least once a year for continued inspiration.  Please check our Events page for class dates and times.


THE AHIMSA TRADITION of WITCHCRAFT
 STATEMENT OF PHILOSOPHY

Before all other, The Ahimsa Tradition of Witchcraft commits to non-violence. We extend this philosophy to include no harm to self, others, or the infringement upon another's free-will.  We are ultimately responsible for our own actions.

The Ahimsa Tradition is based on the Hindu practice of henotheism. We recognize Brahman, The Absolute, with It’s multiple aspects of deity.

Brahman is the intermingling of male “Shiva” energy and female “Shakti” energy at play in our world.

We feel comfort in blending the Hindu spirituality of Brahman with the practice of The Craft.

We choose to call ourselves Witches.

Since The Ahimsa Tradition of Witchcraft  embraces non-violence, we encourage others to explore vegetarianism as a part of spiritual practice; however, this is not mandated by the tradition.
