Houses and Aspects, where are planets acting and what is affecting their behavior?

The intention of the book club is to encourage conversations among people in the Temple community and beyond using an online format that is welcoming to everyone. Each month we will feature a book for conversation and discussion, following wherever our discussion may lead us. Read what you can of the book and come with insights, thoughts, and opinions to share your experiences focusing on the witchcraft perspective from the given subject. Book suggestions as well as questions can be sent to Jason at [email protected]

Join the Temple of Witchcraft as we turn the Wheel of the Year to Litha!

Litha or Midsummer is the Summer Solstice, on or about the longest day of the year and the shortest night. It is a time associated with the Fae realm and with the Oak King aspect of divinity reaching the pinnacle of power before ceding to the Holly King of Wintertime and the start of the descent into the dark as the days grow shorter.
