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.

Despite identifying as a Witch Read More...

Magick in the Mundane: The Acts of Meditation

Meditation does not come easy for me. I enjoy meditation journeys to be sure: I have an active imagination and it loves meander and discover along a guided path.
