Notice has been taken of the need for greater levels and degrees of input of occult-style knowledge for a great many individuals and groups within the Scottish zones of the United Kingdom. The said indications have been received direct from individuals and groups who have specifically, and positively, requested that yet another development group be established, but one that goes further, and in more detail, than those currently operating. The requests and comments received thus far indicate that individuals are positively interested in expanding their own knowledge as well as their abilities within the alternative practices fields; also, there appears to be an increased awareness as to the need for differing forms and styles of protection, both physical and spiritual, which can be utilised by practitioners whilst working.

It will be necessary for any such developmental workshop programme to cover all the basic and normally encountered material, viz; Wicca; Witta; White and Black magic; the use of magic as a healing tool; magic as a progenitor of earthly aspects for the worker and, or, the client; the presentation, training in, and application of alternative healing practices; Psychic development so that individuals can properly use divination methods for themselves and others, and; historical under-pinning as to the origins of spirituality, magic and healing. All subjects mentioned thus far are exceedingly deep within themselves therefore it would be practicably, intellectually and physically impossible to build them into one single workshop. To this end it is envisaged that there would have to be a series of workshops designed specifically around the main subject, viz, Spiritual Development, the said resultant programme being divided into a series of at least ten weekend workshops, each dealing with a specific set of subjects.

By necessity, it is envisaged that each workshop will require to be at least ten to twelve hours in extent which, including breaks for refreshments et al, would require sufficient space of the right type and size for two consecutive days. It is also envisaged that the main body of information delivery could be accomplished within the space of approximately two hundred hours therefore requiring a minimum number of twenty to twentyfive workshops to cover the whole syllabus. In addition to the thirteen plus subjects already allured to above there are the following subject heads which should, if not must, also be included in any such syllabus, these being:-

* The Chakras * Spirit Guides *Meditation Styles and Techniques * * Protection * Sound Therapy * Colour Therapy * Crystal Therapy * * Reiki Healing * Shamanism*Bodywork * Essential Oils and Incences * Dance and Movement Therapy *
