Congratulations, you have made it this far! Now let’s see how far we have progressed psychically! In level three we will be inviting a guest into our space for a psychic fair! By now we have learned how to present messages to the public. We will be learning to become aware of what spirits come to us. Level three will clarify our gifts for us and we can learn how those gifts will correspond to our universal consciousness.
Join Christine Krauss, a high priestess with the Temple of Witchcraft and owner of The Crow’s Healing Nest, for the next level of psychic development in March of 2020.

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 Reiki, we also send this energy to the Temple’s healing list. Each time we come together; we discuss ways where we can infuse this practice into our daily lives. As healers, it is important for us to slow down and take care of ourselves. In such a fast-paced world, we often stretch ourselves too thin, resulting in feelings of being overworked, overtired, and maybe even ill. Our intention for the Reiki Share is in part, to help others as well as ourselves. This is a great way where we can come together as peers to heal the healer.
For the month of December, we thought that we would cast the circle out to the greater community and share this sacred time and practice together. What we will be holding is a worldwide Reiki-A-Thon. This will take place beginning December 13 th and will run through December 19th from the comfort of your own home when you are able. If you would like to join us during this time, there are a few things that you will need. If you are able, you can print out the Temple’s healing list and the names on the social media posts, the special Reiki-A-Thon sigil, and a glass of water.
We will start each session by sending Reiki to the Temple’s monthly healing list and the names on the social media posts by focusing the Reiki energy on the special sigil created for this event. If you cannot print the list or do not have access to the various social media outlets, that is perfectly fine. As a Reiki practitioner, we know that the Reiki will flow where it needs to go. Trust that and set the intention to send the energies to the lists. When you feel that is complete, please begin to send Reiki to your glass of water. Water is life. Water is healing. Water nourishes us and all living things that we are connected to. This will be used at the end of your session. Once the Reiki is sent to the glass of water, take some time and offer healing to yourself. You do so much in this life. This is also a time for you to slow down and begin to offer yourself the healing you need and deserve. When your self-healing session is complete, take the glass of water in your hands. Feel the energy all around you. It is up to you to either drink it or offer it to the land, completing the Reiki-A-Thon session for the day.
Where the in-person Reiki Shares are for those attuned to Reiki, we thought that we could have those who may not be attuned and our distance members join us in this experience. Anyone can feel free to participate by sending healing energy. The goal is to come together as healers to create a healing energy for the world around us, but also for the world within. We would love to have you join us!
Blessings,
Renee Bedard

During our meeting for planning out the next year of Reiki Shares, the Virgo ministry came up with the idea of a “Reiki-a-thon” for the end of the calendar year. This is a group of consecutive days where a Reiki practice is done each day to bring healing to those in need and focused self-healing. The days of the Reiki-a-thon are from December 13th to December 19th, 2019. For more information and posts, join the Temple of Witchcraft Reiki Group on Facebook. If you are a Reiki healer, please join us in this inspired event!
The Practice
For the seven days of the Reiki-a-thon, we came up with the following daily practice. You can edit or add to it to accommodate your circumstances and time constraints.
For this practice you will need the healing list from the Temple of Witchcraft. Click the link for a downloadable a printable PDF of it.
You will also need a drawing or a print-out of this sigil, which is focused on healing everyone in the comments section of any posts about the Reiki-a-thon.
Lastly, you will need a glass of water and your own reiki. When you have all that, here are the steps:
- Start this daily practice by pouring water into a glass and giving it reiki. Place this glass on an altar, healing shrine, or table near to you.
- Hold the Temple Healing list and send distance reiki to those on the list, imagining them on a little field between your hands, like they were in a snow globe. If you are not distance reiki attuned, just reiki the list, knowing when you release the list in fire or by ripping it up at the end of the week the healing will be sent.
- Give reiki to the sigil for “everybody in the comment section gets reiki.” You can use the above visualization like with the list but it is not necessary.
- When you feel complete, give your self time to do some Reiki on your own body. This can be a full session of self reiki or just some spot reiki. Make sure you take some time to do self healing.
- You can now drink the water in the glass or pour it out on the land for healing.
Repeat this practice each day for the seven days of the Reiki-a-thon. We look forward to having you join us in this healing collaboration!
Healing Blessings,
Adam Sartwell, Virgo Lead Minister
Dawn Marie Costorf & Renee Bedard, Reiki Share Coordinators
