Getting started
How do I sign up for a free account, and what do I get?
Click Start free at the top of any page, type your name, email and a password, click Create my free account, and you can start your first lesson right away. Your free account includes our intro course, Wicca 101 (6 video lessons with quizzes), your own Book of Shadows, your Birth Chart and Witch Profile, a free tarot reading every week, monthly horoscopes and moon reminders by email. Our articles, Witch's Cabinet, Moon and Magick Calendar, coloring pages and backgrounds are free for everyone.
I don't know much about Wicca. Am I too inexperienced to join?
Not at all! We welcome students at every level. Some of our students have practiced the Craft for years, and some started the day they signed up. Wicca 101 starts from the very beginning.
The website looks different. What changed?
We moved Wicca Academy to a brand-new website, built just for our students. Your account came with you: log in with the same email and password, and your courses, progress, degrees, orders and membership are all still there. Your Dashboard is your home base, with My Courses, My Degrees, My Badges and My Info one tap away. If anything looks wrong, tell us.
Where are my lessons and quizzes?
Open your Dashboard (the button at the top of the page) and click My Courses, then pick a course. Each lesson page has its video at the top, with the written lesson underneath. Every lesson also has Read the lesson notes, the matching chapter of our eTextbook, to read on the page or save as a PDF. The quiz for that lesson is the next step: click Take the quiz or Next. The course outline beside the lesson (under it on a phone) shows every lesson and quiz.
The Wicca Academy app
Is there a Wicca Academy app?
Yes, and it's free! Add Wicca Academy to your phone's home screen from the App page. It opens straight to today's moon, the magick of the day and your card of the day, keeps your courses one tap away, and can send you gentle reminders for full and new moons, the sabbats and our coven meetings. There's nothing to download from an app store, and you use the same account as on the website.
How do I add the app to my iPhone or iPad?
Open wiccaacademy.com/app in Safari and tap Get the free app: we'll show you each step. In short: tap the ☰ button next to the web address at the bottom of Safari (on older iPhones, tap the Share button in the bottom bar), tap Share, then View More, then Add to Home Screen. Leave Open as Web App switched on and tap Add. Then open Wicca Academy from your home screen. Reminders need iOS 16.4 or newer.
How do I add the app to my Android phone?
Open wiccaacademy.com/app in Chrome and tap Get the free app, then Install. If you don't see an Install button, tap the ⋮ menu at the top right of Chrome and choose Install app or Add to Home screen. Then open Wicca Academy from your home screen.
Can I use the app on my computer?
Yes. In Chrome or Edge (Windows, Mac or Chromebook), open the App page and click Get the free app, or click the install icon at the right end of the address bar. It opens in its own window with its own icon. In Safari on a Mac, choose File › Add to Dock. Firefox can't install it, but the website works there as usual.
I can't find Add to Home Screen.
If you opened our link from Facebook, Instagram, TikTok or an email app, it opened in that app's own little browser, which can't add apps. Tap the ••• or ⋮ button and choose Open in Safari (or Open in Chrome on Android), then try again. On iPhone, Add to Home Screen is in the Share menu: tap View More if you don't see it, and scroll down a little.
Why isn't the app in the App Store or Google Play?
Our app is a web app: you add it straight from our website, so there's nothing to download from a store. It takes almost no space on your phone, it's always up to date with our newest features, and you use the same account as on the website.
Do I need a separate login for the app?
No, it's the same account. The first time you open the app, log in with the same email and password you use on the website. On iPhone the app keeps its own login, so you may need to log in once inside the app even if you're already logged in on Safari.
How do I turn reminders on or off?
In the app, open the menu and tap App & Reminders, then Turn on reminders and Allow. You can choose which reminders you get (full and new moons, sabbats, card of the day, lesson reminders, coven meetings, and news and offers) and the time of your morning reminder. To stop them, tap Turn off reminders on the same page. On iPhone, reminders only work in the app you added to your home screen, not in Safari.
I'm not getting reminders.
Open the app, tap App & Reminders in the menu and check that reminders are on, then tap Send me a test. If the test doesn't arrive, check your phone's settings: on iPhone, open Settings › Notifications › Wicca Academy and turn on Allow Notifications; on Android, check that notifications are allowed for Wicca Academy (or Chrome). Focus or Do Not Disturb can also hold them back. Morning reminders arrive at the time you picked, on days when there's something to share. Still nothing? Contact us and we'll help.
How do I remove the app?
Press and hold the Wicca Academy icon and choose Remove App (iPhone) or Uninstall (Android). Your account, courses and progress stay exactly as they are, and you can add the app again any time from the App page.
Membership & billing
How do I upgrade to Lifetime Membership?
Any time! Go to Pricing and click Become a Lifetime Member. Lifetime is $197, paid once, with no subscription, and unlocks all 10 video courses, your three Wiccan degrees, the eBook library, the Spell Library, daily horoscopes, unlimited tarot readings and our weekly coven meetings. You can pay by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or PayPal. Your membership starts right away and your Wicca 101 progress stays.
Can I pay for Lifetime over time?
Yes. At checkout, choose Afterpay to split Lifetime into 4 interest-free payments of $49.25 (US addresses only). Your membership starts right away. Need something different? Tell us what would work for you.
Can I still buy a Monthly, Yearly or Lite plan?
No. Lifetime Membership is now our only paid membership, so there is nothing to renew. If you already have a Monthly, Yearly or Lite plan, nothing changes: it keeps working for as long as it's active.
I pay monthly or yearly. Can I switch to Lifetime?
Yes. Buy Lifetime, then open My Info › Membership and click Cancel membership so you aren't charged again. If you'd like a hand, contact us and we'll sort it out.
My Lifetime Membership isn't listed under Membership.
Lifetime is a one-time purchase rather than a subscription, so you'll find it under My Info › Orders. The card at the top of My Info and the badge on your Dashboard say Lifetime Member, and there is nothing more to pay.
How do I cancel my membership?
Open My Info › Membership, click Cancel membership and confirm. Your membership stays active until the end of the period you've already paid for, and you can click Keep my membership before then if you change your mind. Lifetime Membership never renews, so there is nothing to cancel. A few older memberships are still billed by our old system: if My Info can't cancel yours, it will say so, and we'll do it for you if you contact us.
How do I update my card?
Open My Info › Membership and click Update my card. A secure Stripe page opens where you can change your card and see your invoices. If a payment didn't go through, you'll also see a note on your Dashboard. For memberships paid through PayPal or our old system, contact us and we'll help.
My Lifetime payment plan says "paused". What does that mean?
If a payment in a Lifetime payment plan can't be collected, the plan pauses instead of ending. Your progress is saved, but the courses lock until you continue. Click Continue my payment plan on your Dashboard or in My Info › Membership: you only pay the payments that are left, and everything opens again.
What if Lifetime isn't right for me?
Every Lifetime Membership comes with a 60-day money-back guarantee. Contact us within 60 days of buying and we'll refund you in full.
Courses & degrees
How do the quizzes work?
Each lesson has a short quiz. Answer every question and click Finish: you need 70% to pass. If you don't pass, your answers are marked so you can rewatch the lesson and click Try again as many times as you like. A lesson counts as finished once its quiz is passed.
How do I earn degrees?
Degrees are earned automatically as you finish our 9 core courses (Wicca 101 through Spell Crafting & Book of Shadows):
- 1st Degree after 3 core courses
- 2nd Degree after 6 core courses
- 3rd Degree after all 9 core courses
How do I get my diploma in the mail?
We print and mail every diploma for free, anywhere in the world. When you earn a degree, click Add my address on your Dashboard or open My Degrees and confirm your mailing address: we send it once you do. When it ships, we email you the tracking number, and you can follow it on My Degrees (printing, on its way, delivered). If you earn two degrees close together, we mail both diplomas in the same envelope. If it hasn't arrived within a month of confirming your address, please contact us.
Can I print my own certificate?
Yes. Every degree you've earned has a certificate with your name and the month you earned it on My Degrees. Print it or save it whenever you like, while your mailed diploma is on its way.
My courses are missing or locked!
First check that you're logged in with the email you joined with. A free account includes Wicca 101; the other courses open with Lifetime Membership (or an active Monthly or Yearly plan). If your Lifetime payment plan is paused, see the answer above. Still missing? Contact us and we'll get them back for you.
Where are my eBooks?
Lifetime Members can read every eBook in the eBook Library (under Library in the menu): open a book and click Download eBook or Read in your browser. The Wicca 101 eBook is free for everyone. If you bought a single eBook from us in the past, download it from My Info › Downloads.
Can I watch the spell videos?
The Spell Library shows spells and rituals performed step by step. Three spells are free for everyone, and Lifetime Members can watch them all.
Can I turn on captions?
Yes. Under lesson and course videos, click the CC Captions: Off button to switch captions on. We remember your choice, so every video you watch after that starts with captions too, until you click Captions: On to turn them off again. On videos without that button, use the CC button in the video player.
Witch tools
How does my Book of Shadows work?
Your Book of Shadows is free with any account and private to you. Write your own pages (with headings, lists and photos), keep a spell journal, and save crystals, herbs, spell kits, moon days, lessons and your birth chart into it with one click. When you're ready, click Print or save as PDF to make it a book with a cover and contents.
How do badges and streaks work?
You earn badges as you learn and practice: lessons and degrees, spells and sabbats, the Witch's Cabinet, your birth chart, tarot and the eBook library. Your weekly streak counts the weeks in a row you finish a lesson, quiz, spell or Book of Shadows page. See them all, and share the ones you're proud of, on My Badges.
How many tarot readings can I get?
Free members get one tarot reading a week, with the one-card, three-card or choice spreads. Lifetime Members get unlimited readings with every spread, including the Celtic Cross. Your readings are saved so you can come back to them.
Who can read the horoscopes?
Monthly horoscopes are free for every sign. Lifetime Members also get a new horoscope every day and every week.
How do I get my birth chart and Witch Profile?
Anyone can calculate a Birth Chart and see their Big Three. With a free account you get the full reading, your chart is saved, and it builds your Witch Profile: your witch type and the crystals, herbs and colors that match your chart. If you know your birth time, you can switch your houses between Placidus and Whole Sign. Not sure of your path? Take the witch quiz.
What is the Witch's Cabinet?
The Witch's Cabinet is our free library of magickal correspondences: crystals, herbs, oils, candle colors, moon phases and more. Search it, browse by intention, and with an account save your favorites or add entries to your Book of Shadows.
How do I add the moon calendar to my phone's calendar?
Open the Moon and Magick Calendar and tap Apple or Outlook or Google Calendar under "Never miss a full moon". Full and new moons, eclipses, sabbats and Mercury retrogrades then appear in your calendar and update by themselves.
Can I get moon reminders by email?
Yes, with any free account. On the Moon and Magick Calendar, click Email me reminders and we'll email you the day before each full moon, new moon, eclipse and sabbat, with ideas for your ritual. Click Stop email reminders in the same place to turn them off.
Where can I find free coloring pages and backgrounds?
Visit Coloring Pages for printable pages and Banners & Backgrounds for phone and computer backgrounds plus Facebook and X banners. Search or browse by theme, click a design, then click Download or Print. For backgrounds, pick Phone, Computer, Facebook or X first. New designs are added every month.

How do I reset my password?

Contact us and we'll help.
I used to log in with Google. How do I log in now?

We email a link to your new address: click it within 24 hours and you're done. From then on you log in with your new email, and all our emails (and your payment receipts) go there.

We also send a short note to your old address to let you know it changed. Don't see the email? Check your spam folder, or contact us and we'll help.
How do I delete my account?
We recommend keeping your account. If you delete it, you lose your course progress, degrees, Book of Shadows and order history, which can be a problem if you come back later. You can cancel your membership and turn off our emails while keeping your account. If you still want it deleted, contact us and we'll take care of it.
Emails
How do I choose which emails I get, or unsubscribe?
Open My Info › Emails, tick the emails you'd like and click Save my choices, or click Unsubscribe from all emails. You can also click the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any Wicca Academy email. Emails about your account (like payment notices and your diploma) still come when needed.
I'm not getting your emails.
Check your spam or promotions folder and add [email protected] to your contacts. If you unsubscribed earlier, open My Info › Emails and click Subscribe again. If that page says we can't email your address, contact us and we'll fix it.
Scholarship Fund
What is the Wicca Academy Scholarship Fund?
Our Scholarship Fund gives seekers who can't afford a membership a free Lifetime Membership. It's paid for by our community: sponsors give any amount, and every $150 raised funds one full scholarship seat (Wicca Academy covers the other $47 of the $197 membership). You can see how many seats are funded on the Scholarship page.
How do I apply for a scholarship?
Go to Apply for a scholarship and click Start your application. Tell us a little about yourself and your path: there are just two questions, and it takes about five minutes. We email you right away to confirm we have it. Our team reads every application as seats are funded, and we email you as soon as your seat is ready. Anyone who feels called to the craft and can't afford a membership right now can apply, from anywhere in the world.
I already have a free account. Can I still apply?
Yes, and your progress comes with you. Apply with the same email address you use to log in. If you're given a scholarship, Lifetime Membership is added to that account, so everything you've done in Wicca 101 stays. If you don't have an account yet, we create one for you and email you a link to choose your password.
I was given a scholarship. What do I do now?
Congratulations! Log in to your account within 30 days: that's all it takes to claim your Lifetime Membership, and then it's yours to keep. Your award email shows the date. If we made your account for you, use the link in that email to choose your password first. We'll send you a few friendly reminders. If a scholarship isn't claimed within 30 days, the seat goes back to the fund for another seeker. Can't log in? Contact us and we'll help.
What does a scholarship include?
A full Lifetime Membership, the same one our paying members have: all 10 video courses, your 1st, 2nd and 3rd Degree with diplomas mailed free, the Spell Library and eBook library, the weekly coven meetings, unlimited tarot readings and daily horoscopes. There's nothing to renew and nothing to pay back.
How do I sponsor a student?
Open Sponsor a student, choose an amount (any amount from $5 helps), and pay once by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. You can add your name or a nickname for our sponsors page, or give anonymously, and leave a note for our team. We email you a thank-you right away. Every $150 funds one full seat, and smaller gifts bring the next seat closer.
How do the sponsor tiers work?
Your gifts are added together, and your total sets your tier on our sponsors page: Seed (up to $49.99), Candle ($50 to $149.99), Full Moon ($150 to $749.99, a whole seat or more) and Coven Patron ($750 or more, five seats). Giving again can move you up a tier. Only your tier is shown, never the amount, and anonymous gifts are counted without your name.
Is my gift tax-deductible?
No. Wicca Academy is a business, not a registered charity, so gifts to the Scholarship Fund are not tax-deductible.
Help & community
How do I join the coven meetings?
Our coven meets on Discord every Wednesday at 7pm Eastern. Meetings are included with Lifetime Membership (and our older paid plans). We email your invite on Monday and Wednesday, and you can join any time from the Online Coven page with Join our Discord. You're welcome to just listen. Learn more.
