The Seven Moons course is continuing to run. Some members will have to wait a few weeks to be registered, however all those registering will be added and will be able to work through the seven moons. We have not yet commenced the continuation course of a further thirteen moons but this is expected to be up and running over the summer of 2017.. The Seven Moons face to face course is continuing to run in London.and is on the London Wicca Study Circle Meetup Group. The course organisers are currently very busy but all those registered are expected to be connected either in June 2017 or July 2017 at the latest.
11th November 2016
We have gained enough members for whom we have phone numbers to allow us to get this group up and running.. There is now a small cluster on this group with some activity taking place.
05th November 2016
We have added a free subscription to the Wiccan Federation magazine Wiccan Age to all members of the Seven Moons Course. This increases the number of contacts/document provided as part of this course to 11. We are planning too add a full moon distribution. which will add a further seven documents to the course.
28th October 2016
We are planning an important development to the Seven Moons Course. "Thirteen Moons for a Wiccan" is a programme of teaching to cover your first thirteen moons as a Wiccan initiate. Initially this will be offered only to initiated Wiccans. We will deal with remote students who cannot travel to arrange an in person initiation on a case by case basis.

26th October 2016
Today we have added a 56 page booklet to the start of the course. This is to deal with the issue that those joining the course do niot receive any details related to the course for up to four weeks from joining, This provides study material for the period up to the start of the first moon.
25th October
The extension of the course to provide additional material for the full moon has commenced. The purpose of this material is to help those planning full moon rites. This material provides information on the unique features of full moon rites for this moon. This will be sent to everyone who is on the course or has finished it.. We have prepared the Hunter;s Moon and will look to prepare all moons going forward, however may need to skip some moons in the year from Samhain 2016. We are expecting to email all recipients on 10h Niovember to allow students time to prepare their full moon rites.
24th October
The course has been busy this month with increasing numbers signing up. We will be sending out first moon to neophytes on the course in time to allow preparation for the new moon on the 30th Oct.
The Watsapp group is up and running and people are now being connected to it. It us very new and quite quiet at present but it is expected to get busy shortly.
2nd October
There have been further improvements to our course. We have automated the dispatch of all of the moons moving forward and for all of the current students except for a small number of students who joined the course at the Spring Equinox. These students will shortly be brought into the automated process. The dates for delivery of material for all students who are in the automated system is as follows
October 4th 2016
November 2nd 2016
November 29th 2016
January 1st 2017
February 1st 2017
March 1st 2017
March 31st 2017
When you reach the seventh moon there is no forward progression, currently, however we are putting together a further thirteen moons currently so that as people finish the course they will be able to move forward in their study of Wicca.
Our plans for mid month material are also continuing, however it is uniikely to be available for the Hunter's Moon. The plan is to deliver material which allows you to prepare your circle cast.. This will be delivered around the Wednesday or Thursday prior to the weekend closest to the full moon. This will allow preparation for those who are running their own full moon rites.
We have also produced a Seven Moons guide to Wicca which we will place onto this website to provide the initial introduction for those joining the course. It will be made available immediately to those joining the course. This is likely to be available during the Harvest Moon 2016 (October)
26th September.
Following the automation of our processes we are planning some improvements to our course. The primary one is that we a planning to introduce some mid month material related to the particular moon that we are in. This is planned to be delivered around the first quarter to allow a weeks preparation to the full moon.. We hope to commence this from the Hunter's Moon which is full in November.
25th September 2016
The dates below have now been scheduled for all who registered prior to the 24th September 2016. All those registered between the 10th an 28th October will receive all 7 moons together with the introductory moon on the the third day of the new moon. This is automated so should be more reliable than our previous manual system
24th September 2016
The Wiccan Federation is backing the Seven Moons course and a number of improvements are being made to. The key change that we are making is that we are modifying our processes for the next course which is Cycle 9 for the Harvest Moon 2016. In future we have automated the sending out of the email for the moons, which will now take place on the third day of the moon, just as the new moon becomes visible. This has not yet been implemented, but when the change has been made we will announce it here. This means that if you have not received your moon within a day of this you will know that there is a problem and can contact our support e-mail. The dates for cycle 9 are as follows.

All outstanding students have been joined to the course and have been sent their first moon. All existing students have also been sent their first moon. This means that all students should be fully up to date with their moons Any students with outstanding issues should contact [email protected]
10th August 2016
The Grain Moon is being e-mailed today. There was a break in the delivery of the last moon, however all students will receive all of the moons in order, and proceed to the end of the seven moon course as normal. New students have not been sent the first moon, however this is expected to be dispatched shortly. This is because we need to prioritise existing students. All students should join the Wicca Study Circle Meetup. This is at
http://www.meetup.com/Wicca-Study-Circle/
Although there has been a slight disruption to the online delivery the face to face course has been proceeding without interruption. at this Meetup group.
3rd June 2016
The next set of moons are being dispatched today for all those registered on the course. Due to the numbers registered on and registering for this course there have been some issues with getting moons to all students. In order to deal with this the following steps have been taken
1, Moons will be dispatched as close to the new moon as possible, however we cannot currently ensure alignment with course dispatch and the new ,moon. We will dispatch moons as we are able to but they may come at any time in the lunar cycle,
2. Students who are completing the Seven Moons course. are facing a challenge with continuing their studies. We are not able to offer a continuation for those completing Seven Moons at present. In order to continue training you will need to become an initiate of one of our covens and be trained by your coven. There are a number of covens taking initiates in the South-East of England that are connected to the Order of the Horse and the Moon.. If you are not in this area and wish to continue you should contact [email protected] and we will seek to make you a remote member of one of our covens.
The continuation for those who initiate with the Order of the Horse and the Moon directly or complete an agreed initiation locally will take place through an e-mail course. The first entry is expected to be the Grain Moon in August 2016. There is expected to be a second entry around Samhain 2016.
3. New students are no currently being taken on promptly. The wait is currently a few weeks. This is due to the prioritisation of our existing students. We are looking to resolve this shortly and provide access to the first moon within one to two weeks, however there is currently a few weeks delay. This site will be updated when the situation is resolved.

13 March 2016:
Following the new Egg Moon this week all those who are registered on the course and have previously received the moons should today have received by e-mail the latest moon in their series, These were sent out on the afternoon of the 13th March,
20th June 2018
Following the roll out of the GDPR we have regrettably had to suspend the dispatch of the course to all current subscribers. This was a total of 250 e-mail addresses that were subscribed when dispatch was suspended. The reason for this was that when the original email addresses were collected there was insufficient information provided for us to be GDPR compliant. We have modified the consent procedure to meet the requirements of GDPR. All individuals wishing to take the course who were part way through it should rejoin. Anyone who joins after 21st June 2018 will be sent the course beginning again from Moon 1.
