n-Person and Online Inner Temple Apprenticeship
I am very pleased to announce a special learning opportunity.
Starting this fall, I'll be teaching a year-long Inner Temple
of Witchcraft apprenticeship.
There are two options available. The first is a direct, in-person
class at my office in Salem, NH. Space is limited and students
have an opportunity to grow and share together in an intimate
group. The second option is the much-requested online format,
making the class available to people across the world who
would not otherwise be able to study with me.
Both courses will use The Inner Temple of Witchcraft book
and CD Companion as the text book, but include additional
materials excerpted from an upcoming Temple of Witchcraft
Book of Shadows as well. The in-person lectures will be recorded
and made available to students in the online class. Both formats
require serious, motivated students with a desire to learn,
experience, and practice the Craft.
Witchcraft II through V will be taught in a similar extended
format in subsequent years. Details and dates are below, and
anyone interested in registering should contact me directly
at torcboy@aol.com for a registration form. All students must
fill out a registration form and be approved prior to the
start of the course, regardless of format.
Blessed be,
Christopher Penczak

Come and discover the mysterious world of the Fey. Stories
of Faeries, spirits intimately connected with the land are
found in cultures all over the world. They are sometimes playful,
beautiful, mischievous or terrible. In the modern era, the
word fairy or faery can mean nature spirits, elementals, devas,
ancestor spirits or the otherworldly shining ones. Faeries
act as guides and partners to mystics deeply attuned to the
power of the land. Learn about their particular relationship
with witches of the elder faith. In this interactive workshop,
you will be introduced to techniques to attune with faeries,
including meditation, ritual and offering, to build a bridge
to the faeries and evoke healing and balance in both our world
and the world of the fey. Please register in advance.
The Temple of High Witchcraft
Free Lecture and Book Signing
Tuesday Sept 30, 7 PM
Metaphysical Mix at Borders Bookstore, Nashua, N.H.
http://thepathway.com/events.html
Many witchcraft practices are drawn from the traditions of
"high" magick, also known as Ceremonial Magick,
though not all witches are aware of the influence of Ceremonial
Magick upon our Craft. Hermetics, Alchemy and Qabalah have
all become entwined with the rebirth of witchcraft. The Qabalistic
Tree of Life, depicting ten levels of consciousness and twenty-two
paths of transformation, is used by magicians and witches
alike. Join us for a lecture the Tree of Life and the rituals
of Ceremonial Magick from the witch's perspective.
Shamanic Witchcraft and the Shadow Self
Saturday, Oct 4, 7-9:30 PM, $25
Laurie Cabot Presents The Cat, The Crow and the Crown
63R Pickering Wharf, Salem, MA 01970
www.lauriecabot.com 978-744-6274
The tradition of witchcraft and its deities are associated
with the depths of the underworld and the darkness of the
soul, though we act as the luminaries and torch bearers in
the dark. Modern witches on the path are asked to explore
their own shadow self, their own repressed thoughts, feelings
and images. " Instead of trying to vanquish the shadow,
a task that is never successful, we are asked to integrate
the shadow self into a healthy relationship and find it as
a source of strength and comfort."Explore the workings
of the shadow self, how to 'distill" it into manifestation
and how to heal the relationship and partner with it as a
spirit ally through the lens of the shamanic traditions of
witchcraft.
