I am practices as a solitary witch and at this point I do not know of anyone who actively practices this. I don't want to sink my money into witch school to learn if I can learn the same on my own just by researching the internet or reading books.

All of the information those witch school's have you can get from books yourself. They get it from those same books you can buy at the store and from the internet. My suggestion is to learn about the History of it first. Especially before you start jumping into books where the author is claiming they got the spell from an ancient Book of Shadows (there are no ancient Books of Shadows).
Happy hunting. *smile*

I personally believe that learning is best accomplished by reading AND practice.. I think sinking money into "witch school" would be a waste of your resources. The path of the witch is very much a solitary one, even if one belongs to a coven. Have you thought about joining an online group of solitaries to get questions answered instead? That might be a better way to go for you.
May you be blessed in your spirit walk and in all that you do.

I agree with the other two answerers, you can learn it on your own. Although having someone you can talk to is good, because then you can get feedback on things that you don't understand. A mentor or such would work, but I wouldn't reccomend a "witch school". Those people are usually just in it for the money, and will tell you anything just to make a buck. Especially if their names are Gavin and Yvonne Frost. I should mention that by researching it yourself, you have to examine everything you read with a critical eye. Not every person that has a book out about Witchcraft knows what they are talking about. Definitely stay away from Silver Ravenwolf.

You can take some of the free classes, but you can learn the same things out in the world, by reading books, and talking other people both online and in the real world.
Don't stick to one tradition, like what you'd learn thru WitchSchool, learn EVERYTHING and then make up your own mind.

There's so much out there to read, both in print and online, that I personally think doing the research yourself instead of relying on someone else to interpret it for you is the way to go. I would also look at joining a community of some sort - either local or online - where you get some two-way interaction, as opposed to everything being 'input only'.

Libraries are our friends. They don't charge money for what we could learn on our own.
Also, check out the source. It has plenty of public domain books.
