I appreciate her “non fluffy” no nonsense style of teaching\, and I am particularly th ankful for her teaching Witchcraft specifically for Australians\, through her understanding of indigenous culture.  - Blessings\, Skyla.\n\nI feel fortunate that I get a chance to receive some of Astarte's knowledge. She is a fountain of wisdom. Her information is pure\, generous\, deep\, non-j udgmental\, uncomplicated and the base of all things that matter. It is ob vious that she is not only an excellent teacher of her craft\, but a true practitioner of it too\, which is very inspirational. I feel that by parti cipating in her course I can become a better human being. I am more in tou ch and tune with nature\, the universe and spirituality. This brought ligh t\, motivation\, hope and balance into my life. I can highly recommend par ticipating in her course\, no matter what religious background or believe system one may have. - Blessed be Kathi\n\nI have been attending Astarte's classes\, full moon rituals and Sabbat celebrations since February 2007 and could not be more grateful for the knowledge\, compassion\, wisdom and care that Astarte imparts to her students and also puts into everything s he does! Astarte is a natural\, genuine and talented teacher who encourag es us to think for ourselves and become not only the best witches we can be\, but the best people too. The workshops and just being part of Earthwi se has brought stability and peace to my life\, not to mention lots of gre at friends! - Love and Light\, Shireen\n\nI've thoroughly enjoyed attendi ng Astarte's classes. She is a warm\, kind\, generous person and a delight ful teacher. Her knowledge and personal experience regarding witchcraft is abundant. I'm grateful she also has worked with Aboriginal Elders and int egrates the spiritual practice of the original custodians of this land int o the workshops and ceremonies......Jennifire\n\n"I am new to the 'magick'  path and at the beginning of my journey I heard about Astarte's Sunday  workshops.  I decided to attend one to see what it was all about and am now a regular.  I have found myself gaining knowledge that I would not have learnt from just reading a book\, and Astarte presents the material  in an easy and relaxed way.  I am currently attending Astarte's weekly class which runs for 11 weeks and have found it to be very informative\ , providing me with safe foundational learning for future work with mag ick. Whether one is new to this path\, or a practicing witch who may nee d a refresher\, this course is for everyone.  I highly recommend it to al l who are serious about Wicca/Witchcraft-to the coven member or solitary w itch-it's ideal." - Much love and blessings\, BB Julie XX\n\nMy Classes w ith Astarte have been fundamental to my souls’ journey. The classes and rituals have helped me learn so much more about myself as well as witchcra ft.
