The Temple of Witchcraft offers:
Spirit, Community, Education
in Salem, NH and online.

Co-founded by Christopher Penczak, Steve Kenson, and Adam Sartwell, the Temple of Witchcraft started in 1998 as a system of magickal training and personal development, and eventually developed into a formal tradition of Witchcraft.

Now, as an outgrowth of the work of students, initiates, and graduates of the programs, the Temple of Witchcraft has evolved into an organization based on traditions of modern magick, Witchcraft, and neopaganism.

The Culture of Comments

by Christopher Penczak, edited by Tina Whittle As a Witch, I know my voice—and the thoughts behind my words—are some of the most powerful tools I have. While there is great power in the silent gesture, the withering stare, and the energetic sheer force of will as part of our repertoire, there is immense power in the clarity of word, the precision of well thought intention, and vibration of sound resonating within our chest cavity, and within Read More...

Magick in the Mundane: finding joy within the tidal sea of grief

It’s the holidays.Bah. Don’t get me wrong, I usually love the holidays, but let’s be honest: this season is hard for some of us… and this year, I’m firmly entrenched in camp “some of us”.

The Terms of the Witch

by Christopher Penczak, edited by Tina Whittle As a teacher, I find myself saying the same thing in multiple ways because you can never be sure what language, which symbol, and what moment will help someone understand a subtle teaching. Magick is taught in a twilight language of poetry, ritual, and symbol along with metaphysics, philosophy, and mythology. Teaching is often stirring up the right atmosphere and circumstances to transmit an idea that is not easily put Read More...
