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.
