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.

Occultism and the Timeless Tradition

by Christopher Penczak, Edited by Tina Whittle I am an occultist. I practice an occult form of Witchcraft. Once upon a time that word was scary to much of the world and perhaps it still is. My sense of alleviation could be an illusion created by the various social media bubbles we create, as I see the term “Occult Twitter” frequently bandied about, though I see less of an Occult Twitter and more of an Overt Twitter Read More...

Temple Astrolog: Personal Power and Past Lives

In May, we have lived through an intensive full moon with a Lunar eclipse (5th of May) and before that a Sun eclipse (20th of April).

On May 1st Pluto started its retrograde phase. You may feel that as a welcoming energy Read More...

All Magick is Not the Same

by Christopher Penczak, Edited by Tina Whittle I was working with a client recently, in a rare private session class that I’ll occasionally do. Questions jumped from Hoodoo and Voodou to Solomonic Magic, protection, mediumship, oracle decks, spirits, and angels. She asked about the Witchcraft I teach, what I learned from my own teachers, and whether I was Wiccan or not (I said that all depends on how you define Wicca.) We even got into a bit Read More...
