After much consideration we have decided to temporary close our doors of our current location. Due to the uncertainty of the pandemic and our current economy we have made the hard choice to close The Pocono Witch Shoppe.
Our last day to shop with us in person will be January 17th 2021. Over the year we have been blessed to be a local source that was very much needed in our Pocono community. We truly are very grateful to all of our customers and because of this we will remain online until we move forward with reopening a physical location in the future. Because we believe that community is so important we will be offering our past customers FREE shipping for a year. All of our customers who have purchased from us before and our found in our database will automatically receive this when ordering online. Information on FREE shipping will go out to our customers of the next few weeks. If you have any questions please email The Pocono Witch Shoppe at poconowitch.shoppe@gmail.com.
Thank you so much for sticking with us. We look forward to continuing to support each other and experiencing the magick of the Poconos.

Introducing E. Massey’s The Modern Witch’s Curriculum Classes
Featured
The Modern Witch’s Curriculum is a 12 month course based on E. Massey’s second book of the same name. After it’s release in 2018 many readers had repeatedly asked E. Massey to run an on-going class based on the book. Well, the time has come, The Modern Witch’s Curriculum is now a living course of modern Witchcraft.
The Modern Witch’s Curriculum
There comes a time in every Witch’s life when they feel there is nothing left to learn or that they would never find a Witchcraft path that fits their lifestyle. What if there was a course outline that allowed a Witch to grow and learn without the constraints of a specific tradition or one that allows the student to explore spirituality?
“The Modern Witch’s Curriculum” allows those who are involved in any of the earth-based religions to progress and learn beyond their initial teachings. It provides many hands-on magickal and spiritual activities and experiences that can be started at any time of the year and does not have a set beginning time. This means one can start in July while another can start in October. Even more unique you can take it over and over again and not learn the same thing twice.
“The Modern Witch’s Curriculum” combines history, science, and hands-on magickal and spiritual activities and experiences in an easy to follow calendar format.
Best of all, the course can be relevant to anyone of any magickal tradition or spiritual background, whether they follow a Wiccan, Green or eclectic path, in fact, much of the curriculum will appeal to those who want to learn more about their own traditions and themselves. Many of the exercises and activities were created to guide the student to areas of study and spiritual knowledge by using any resources that are accessible to them. These can be books, the Internet, and even individual experiences of the people within a circle or community. There are no boundaries or requirements on how the student can collect the information for the activities; it’s all individual choice.
The curriculum is centered around monthly themes from which weekly themes and daily activities are derived from. Students will participate in two four hour LIVE online classes/meetings with E. Massey. These classes are for students to get an overview of the activities of weeks to come and discuss prior weeks. Activities and lessons will be delivered bi-weekly to the student. In addition to this students will have access to online forum and communities similar to the popular “Blackboard” found in traditional education communities.
The Modern Witch’s Curriculum Year Outline
Remember you can join the curriculum at anytime of the year and will never be behind or ahead of anyone who has already joined before. You could even skip months! This is not an initiatory tradition or course outline. You learn and grow at your own accord and participation. The Modern Witch’s Curriculum is a LIVING guide to spiritual exploration, discovery, and magickal practices.
