 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.
