by Dawn Marie Costorf There are many things that witches do but, most of us, don't do everything.  Some witches really like crystals and others don't. Some like reading historical texts and some want to just experience ritual. Some witches only practice solitary and others want to find community. You get the idea. The one thing that I would read often is that witches are healers. This was one thing that I did not necessarily believe. Some Read More...

by Christopher Penczak, edited by Tina Whittle We talk about Witchcraft as an art and a science, as the craft of the wise, and relate our mysteries to the skills of an earlier time—the farmer, the blacksmith, the miller, the horseman, the cunning folk, the forest priestess, and the bard. All of these things still exist, but are often overshadowed by the modern world. All of these things, like Witchcraft itself, require a level of skill. You Read More...

This morning I saw pictures of the wildfires in Australia and got inspired. This past year, I did a "spells for a better world blog" because I thought witches should be using their energy to solve problems throughout the world. Many spell books show us how to get what we want for ourselves and our family, but many fall short of showing us how to use magic to do something about world problems. So I saw a Read More...

We are still having a lot of placements in the sign of Capricorn: Mercury, Jupiter, the south node, Sun, Ceres, Saturn, and Pluto so the earth energies are intense right now. Today the sun (illumination) is directly on the south node (karma) in Capricorn (karma and the past) at 8 degrees. Don't be surprised if someone from your past shows up today or in the upcoming week. You may also have dreams about old times, or even Read More...

by Christopher Penczak, edited by Tina Whittle “My grandma is in the hospital. Please send healing!” After putting out such a call for healing, some people find my response annoying. For while I know there are a lot of ways of praying and sending good thoughts, I practice Witchcraft. So when I agree to "send healing," I mean magick beyond simple well-wishing. That means I need some specific information: What is her full name? Where does she Read More...

2019 has been a very special year with lots of personal and global transformation. As we move towards the ending of this year and the start of 2020 we are going to meet some equally special energies on our way. The sun has just moved into the sign of Capricorn, a sign of earth, stability, endurance, and duty, to name a few things. The sun is not alone, it is keeping company with Jupiter (expansion), the south Read More...

For the last five months, the Temple's Virgo Ministry has been holding monthly Reiki Shares in Salem, NH. Reiki is a Japanese healing technique that allows the life force energy from Source to flow through a practitioner to offer relaxation and gentle healing energies. During our time together at the Reiki Share, we join in sacred space to share in the healing energies of Reiki, to both give and receive. Not only do we offer each other Read More...
