The Outer Temple of Witchcraft. Christopher Penczak

The Outer Temple of Witchcraft. Christopher Penczak. Wicca. Paganism. Magick. Occult

I'm enjoying "The Outer Temple of Witchcraft", Book Two in the highly regarded book series by Christopher Penczak.

This new edition of the award-winning Outer Temple of Witchcraft features enhancements, corrections, and a focus on inclusivity. As you enter the heart of witchcraft, you find at its core the power of sacred space. In Christopher Penczak's first book, The Inner Temple of Witchcraft, you found the sacred space within yourself. Now The Outer Temple of Witchcraft helps you manifest the sacred in the outer world through ritual and spellwork. The book's twelve lessons, with exercises, rituals, and homework, follow the traditional Wiccan one-year-and-a-day training period. It culminates in a self-test and self-initiation ritual to the second degree of witchcraft―the arena of the priestess and priest.

The Inner Temple of Witchcraft. Christopher Penczak

The Inner Temple of Witchcraft. Christopher Penczak. Occult. Wicca

I'm enjoying "The Inner Temple of Witchcraft" by Christopher Penczak.

Connect with the Source of Magickal Power with this Foundational Course from Renowned Teacher Christopher Penczak

This limited-edition hardcover celebrates the anniversary of Christopher Penczak's groundbreaking work, The Inner Temple of Witchcraft.

The inner temple is your personal sacred space where there are no boundaries and all things are possible. With enhancements, corrections, and a focus on inclusivity, this edition of The Inner Temple of Witchcraft is an updated course for developing the magickal and psychic abilities that are the birthright of the witch.

Discover the history, traditions, and basic techniques of witchcraft, followed by thirteen hands-on lessons that culminate in a self-initiation ceremony equivalent to the first-degree level of traditional covens. This year-and-a-day course of study explores a wide range of topics that support and inform the dedicated witch:

· Ancient and modern magickal philosophy

· Modern scientific theories supporting a new definition of reality

· "Instant" magick techniques for protection, healing, and serenity

· Energy work and anatomy, including chakras and auras

· Astral travel, dreams, and spirit guides

· Healing techniques for body, mind, and spirit

In addition to serving as the textbook for the Temple of Witchcraft Mystery School's first-degree course, this book is designed to be used by witches everywhere. With study, dedication, and practice, the lessons and exercises will empower you to transform the repetitive rigors of the daily grind into a witch's web of magickal experiences.

The Keys to the Gateway of Magic. Dr Stephen Skinner. David Rankine. Occult. Grimoire

I'm reading through "The Keys to the Gateway of Magic: Summoning the Solomonic Archangels and Demon Princes." Edited by Dr. Stephen Skinner and David Rankine.

This classic text of the Nine Great Keys details the invocation of the Archangels, the full hierarchy of spiritual beings (including Olympic Spirits and Elementals) and the evocation of the four Demon Princes.

Highly sought-after, this edition of a rare early seventeenth century grimioire has never before appeared in English. Occult scholar Stephen Skinner, along with magician and author David Rankine, trace the history of the Keys and offer full transcriptions of four key seventeenth century manuscripts in the British Library and in the Bodleian Library.
