The Seax Wica Tradition strongly believes in the practice of witchcraft, but it recognizes that progress on the path of the Seax Gesith goes far beyond magic. This advancement requires dedication, commitment, passion, and, above all, a deep confidence in oneself.

Without this personal confidence, one risks becoming dependent on others. A teacher once said: "Loyalty is measured by the size of the shadow it casts, but it is grand to find the creator of the shadow." From this expression arises a question: "Are you the one in the shadow or the one who creates the shadow?" For the Seax Gesith, there is only one answer: you are the creator of your own shadow.

In other words, while teachers and wise ones may guide you along your journey, you must never depend on them. Their advice should be a tool for you to learn how to become more independent. A teacher is merely a counselor who helps you see reality when your mind is clouded, someone who gives you a push when you stop, waking you from distracting illusions. But the true process begins when you decide to start your path.

Unlike other traditions of witchcraft, Seax Wica values self-dedication as a valid option when there is no coven available where the aspirant lives or when an in-person initiation is not possible. This tradition promotes open and continuous communication between all Gesiths, both solitaries and those in covens. There are no advantages or disadvantages between those who choose the solitary path (individual work without a coven but with the virtual or temporary presence of more experienced Gesiths) and those who remain in a coven.

The aspirant must complete three levels of development to become a fully-fledged Seax Gesith.

It is important to note that in the Saxon Tradition of Wica (Seax Wica), magic or witchcraft is not the primary focus. While these practices are part of our training, the main goal is spiritual: to achieve a harmonious integration with our surroundings and the gods.

Magical practices should be learned within a coven or under the direct instruction of a Gesith, whether in a group or individually, due to the complexity of the art. However, there are simple, accessible practices that do not require supervision, while others, more complex ones, demand guidance from a specialized Gesith to avoid mishaps or unintended effects.
