Out of curiosity what are your qualifications to teach? I think an ideal teacher should show qualifications and give a layout of their curriculum and teaching skills before taking on a student, just to show they are capable of teaching.

I think that someone even offering to teach is a good thing. Not everyone knows everything about magick and never will. If that were me and someone asked in the forum instead of in private mail I would be a tad upset. I mean if you want to know mail a question. It's almost like your trying to cause trouble by calling someone out. Please remember to be respectful.

Sorry meant no disrespect nor was I trying to cause trouble. I was just curious and believe a teacher should be able to show qualifications. That's just my personal opinion though :) Next time I'll ask through the mail.
Teaching, I think that takes a lot of planning, patience and dedication from both student and teacher. It is known, an unofficial statement from a high school teacher, that if you plan your work and the due-dates, planning as such can increase your overall grade, by a full letter score. It actually really ties into the three philosophies of success. One of which is knowledge, and that is knowing your deadlines.
Isn't it traditionally known, in some pagan communities, that it is the men's norm to teach and the women's norm to be lead, within covens, specifically speaking? Well, more as how the roles go within a pagan community's structure. Tradition has roots, and within roots there are beliefs. Why is this generally so, that woman as to leader and man as to teacher, is prominent in this role, within a coven?
Then why is it generally so, that women as to leaders and men as to teachers, are prominent in this role, within covens? This questions pertains more towards why might covens be structured in the way that they are, which may reveal as to how covens relate to each other, yet in their exclusive and or secretive fashion that they hold.
With all this said, I would find it ironic that a female, specifically a priestess, reply to the said questions. I would see and can see how the women, specifically priestesses, can be simply authoritative, more so than the priests. Tradition may be foreign, but it is romantically evident in relationships.
I am wanting to understand and get into the mind of the role of the priest and more so of the priestess, by understanding the tradition to some and possibly the traditions to many. Willing to teach, anyone?

according to your bio you are 13, on the site 9 hours a day, NO ONE should be on any website for 9 hours a day. I have some of your own words here
" I am interested in learning dark magic, necromancy, healing spells, psychic abilities, summoning, basics of dark magic. I have kind of studied a bit of witchcraft spells.. I hope I am able to learn the ways of magic."
I am sorry, but you are not qualified to be teaching at this point. This is your time for learning, not teaching. The first thing you need to learn is to enjoy the journey.
I myself have a little less than a year of experience under my belt, yet I still do not feel qualified to teach anyone, however I can give advice, and do what I can to set someone off in the right direction, by providing advice that is from the knowledge that I have.
I personally believe a person should be more self efficent, and teach themselves, yet after doing some research, they could most likely formulate better and more intelligent questions, and then come public chatter and ask other itelligent members questions.
Also I agree that someone should show their credientials if they are willing to teach.
