The Magick of Isis, Pan & the Sea Priestess
The Magick of Isis, Pan & the Sea Priestess
November 2, 2019 @ 1:30 pm - 3:30 pm
Upper Village Hall, 52 E Derry Rd, East Derry, NH 03041, USA
Exploring the Legacy of Dion Fortune: Shakti of the New Aeon, magician Dion Fortune taught the mysteries through direct teachings in her order, the esoteric books she wrote and most importantly in the codes founds within her evocative novels. Two major rituals underpinning the philosophy of the novels were the Rite of Isis and the Rite of Pan, performed by Fortune as an act of ushering in a new age returning the old gods in new ways. Her writing and ritual poetry catalyzes something powerful and initiatory within our souls. We honor this ancestor of magick looking at these mythic themes in her life and work, and use the evocations and imagery found in Moon Magic, The Goat-Foot God, and The Sea Priestess for our own visionary working.

Austin Osman Spare: One of the lesser-known occultists of the late-19th and early-20th centuries, English artist Austin Osman Spare has nevertheless had a profound influence on modern occult practices, considered by many the “grandfather” of Chaos Magick. In honor of this ancestor of the Craft, in this workshop we will look at Spare’s life and career and particularly at what Kenneth Grant called “The Zos Kia Cultus,” his magickal practice and how it can (and does) inform our modern practice and technique.

The Heights and Depths of the Four Elements
Register online: https://conta.cc/32n7mCq
Much has been written about the Four Elements, and much of it is a rehash of the same the same concepts. Most of the available material on the Elements is aimed at beginners with very little at the intermediate level. The Four Elements are the pillars that uphold the manifest world and anchor spirit to matter. They are associated with a wide range of spiritual entities from small elementals to divine beings. This workshop explores the nature of the consciousness of the Elements. The Elements provide a system of understanding that undergirds most of the magick of the West and Paganism. The use of the Elements in a wide range of systems and practices will be examined. This book explores each of the Elements in depth, and then shows how they interact and change as they rise on the planes. The workshop concludes with the union of the Elements that is more than just becoming Spirit, but the completion of their Great Work.
Friday night at $25/pp,
Saturday $65/pp
Sunday $65/pp

If you are able, please bring a image of your ancestor(s) and some finger food that can be easily shared. The image will be incorporated into a fragrant craft offering, and hot mulled apple cider will be provided to keep us warm. We will talk about how the ancestors can be a source of wisdom and strength as we grow, and then invite them to join us with light hearts and full bellies.
For the adults, please know the ingredients in whatever you bring to share. Activities are aimed at school age children. All children must be accompanied by a responsible adult.

Dark Moon Mysteries: The Roots of Humanity
Dark Moon Mysteries: The Roots of Humanity
November 26, 2019 @ 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm
49 N Policy St, Salem, NH 03079, USA
Theosophy and old world occultism often describe the origins of humanity in the stars and through a series of evolutions through the cosmic ages. From the Metallic Ages of the Greeks to the myths of Atlantis and Lemuria, our evolution moves through a mythos of falling and return. Through vision work, explore the mythic origins of humanity, comparing it with current science's understanding of our earliest ancestors. For intermediate practitioners, not beginners to magick and Witchcraft. Ideally for students currently in Witchcraft 3 or higher, or similar experience with ritual, meditation and occult history. Cost: $25. Must pre-register. Email sightseer111@gmail.com with the Subject "Dark Moon Mystery Class and the date to register. Space is Limited.

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.
