The Foundational Course of “Upon the Rood-Day” is a complete introduction and journeyman-level instruction in the esoteric foundations of the Rood-Day system, and its core principles and metaphysical workings. The Foundational Course includes the first 8 Modules of the “Upon the Rood-Day” full course. 

The first eight modules cover the esoteric history of Europe and the Near East and Robin’s mystical theories regarding how certain powerful spirits came to be tutelary forces to Witch-cults that emerged in more recent centuries. They also include an examination of the implements required for this Craft, how to obtain and empower them, how to use the human body to create extraordinary cognition and trance states; divination instructions for sortilege or the use of cards of divination; and many instructions for the safe, secretive, and powerful practice of these strange arts. 

They also contain the means and methods of creating Incantatory Spells, Witched Water, Crophts and Rings of Witching, and a grimoire called The Santrin, giving the necessary information for the creation of different workings. 

Topics such as relating to the “Good Neighbors” or the local spirits of one’s own land, rituals of devotion to these older powers, and many other needful things are covered. The final module also contains an entire complete system of spirit-conjuration which allows for practitioners to attempt communion with named spirits from the Grimoire tradition of Early Modern Europe, as well as others. 

All who sign up for the Foundational Course will be invited to the Serpent Hall Common Rooms for students (either at Facebook or Discord, or both if they like) to receive around-the-clock Q&A support from the course instructor. The option to correspond with him privately during the course is open to all.
