PREPARATION
A list of suggested books and materials will be sent out with your welcome packet. You are not required to purchase books or materials to take this course- but having them on-hand allows for you to have what you need for all reading and research prompts and hands-on experiences.
Suggested books:
Leechdoms, Wortcunning, and Starcraft of Early England / Oswald Cockayne
The Way of Wyrd / Brian Bates
CERTIFICATION
Certification in our tradition of Wortcunning requires satisfactory completion of all three levels. In order to complete each level and be invited to attend the next level, students should strive to attend all live classes, watch/listen replays of each class several times, complete all prompts and projects in a timely manner, and participate in class and teacher discussions. If any student struggles to keep up or complete any specific prompts, we are happy to work with them to make space and accommodations that meet them where they are and support their successful completion of the course.
