by Christopher Penczak, edited by Tina Whittle Not too long ago we received a question, or possible concern, about the frequency in the Temple of Witchcraft’s offerings of the name “Lucifer” and asked if this was always a part of the Temple’s teachings or a new direction towards which we were all heading.

Now we enter into the new and we want to share with you some plans for the year. Our plans to celebrate Yule in-person here in New Hampshire were cancelled by bad weather and looming concerns about Read More...

They adapt with the people who love them, in groups or alone, and those who fail to change will also fail to meet the needs of their people and will either calcify into dogma or wither and fade.

These strong aspects will influence us both on a personal and collective plane. “December will be a month to remember!” Right now, we have the planet Venus (love, romance) in the sign of Capricorn.

How do you work different systems together? Can you? Should you? The answer is up to you. The success or failure of such work—as well as its complexity—depends on the Read More...

Did you know I almost became Read More...

At the same time these new waves of energy are being blocked causing disturbance, frustration and irritation. But all hope is not lost. With some clever navigation and a portion of patience what first seems to be a bad thing, might even turn out to be a blessing. Let´s take Read More...
