Traditional Holy Days Though not celebrated with the larger rituals of the sabbats, the Temple keeps two types of holy days. The first are the historic holy days from the ancient Pagan world. They honor the ancient gods and have relevance to modern Witches and Pagans to remember our ancestral practices. They can be recognized at the personal altar with a simple candle lighting ceremony. The second type of holy day is based upon important days within the modern magickal community, particular births or deaths of our honored elders of the modern Craft. More details...

Known as the Bodhisattvas, Saints, Secret Chiefs, Ascended Masters and Inner Plane Adepts in other traditions, Witches know our ancestors as the Hidden Company, the Mighty Dead of our Timeless Tradition in the Nameless Art. In truth, they are the guiding principles of our modern tradition, as inner world priests and priestesses to the gods. They consist of our elders in the modern and ancient world, united in the ecstatic dance of the Witch’s Sabbat. Understand the nature of the Mighty Dead and how to work directly with them for your own healing and evolution, and your work in the worlds of flesh and spirit. Work with ancestral altars, oracular skulls, and spiritual merging. Learn to find guides, teachers, healers and partners within the order of the Mighty Dead.

The energy builds and begins to spiral as the sacred dancers move to the exotic rhythm. The allure of the drum has called to you. The drum is the very heartbeat of the universe. It is the Divine melody dancing in perfect harmony within our souls in an endless circle of ancient majick. Many of our ancestors around the world used drumming to empower their rituals and to bring them closer to the Divine. Just as one needs to learn the basics of Witchcraft before casting a circle there are basics of drumming you need to learn before you play.

It connects us to the deepest part of our spirit and to the primal energy of our ancestors as well as that of the Divine.
