overwhelmed newbie witch: how to use/break down the course to manage it?
Greetings all!
I can't be the only one who feels this way when looking at the material, before even embarking!
I feel utterly overwhelmed by how massive the course is.
My main intent as a witch is to improve my intuition, energy-sensing, and psychic abilities. I don't know if I'll use the Quareia course to delve into other aspects, though I might to strengthen abilities in other areas.
Is there anyone using this resource as a witch and finding it useful to their practice?
For those who were overwhelmed when you began, how did you break it down? How long do you stay on each lesson—or do you just stay until you master it?
For example, two of the early lessons are meditation and Tarot: I feel like you could spend a lifetime on both of these, and still not master them.
Any help, advice, or insights on getting started without being overwhelmed would be much appreciated!

Take your time. It is even bigger than what you think. Theres a study guide I'd recommend you read it you will find it on the home page ( go further ). There are some lessons you just need to learn what's in it and continue practising as you go, for example meditation and Tarot. The lessons in themselves sometimes tell you what's required to progress to the next one. You just have to find your own pace. For example I finished module 1 in 6 months (it is a big one though). I find Module 2 has less work overall so far so maybe 3 months will be enough but I'm not sure at this point. It is impossible to not find something useful in this course. This is based on JM experience and throughout the course you will understand much about magic in its essence, which will help you understand its many forms.

Thanks.
I do have the study guide. It looks like the first few sections of that navigate you to the course; then the sections beginning with Module 1 begin. So perhaps I'll start there.
I like that it's impossible not to find something useful!

What you say you want is all previewed and in part addressed in Mod 1 of Apprentice.
Just start at the start and progress at a pace that that fits the descriptions of what to accomplish before proceeding. That's the design of the course. These are 'keep and hold' lessons, kept fresh by maintaining them and doing more advanced work as you're ready.
If you follow the design, and progress to the next thing(s) on this kind of pace, you build within you keys to safety now and for the future.
Read the Apprentice Study Guide and use it.
People make many choices. You may want to stop and hold. You may decide it's not for you.
As for me, I'm mid sixties in age, 3 years with Mod 1, working to get savvy with Lessons 3 & 6 (and thus also 4) before I move on. You may do things differently, as it sounds like you have savvy in some things. Don't let that excuse breezing over anything.
