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.

by Claire du Nord Serendipity! Synchronicity! Spontaneity! These words came to mind when I got to the checkout line, (after shopping for a new Lughnassadh/Lammas table cover without a bit of luck), and there it was, sitting off to the side, just waiting for me, (like someone else’s “On second thought, I don’t really need this. . .”)! And then the next store I went to had artificial sheaves of grain – wheat and amaranth – just Read More...

Magick in the Mundane: on journeys

Suppose you suddenly found yourself with an amazing opportunity: your life is about to be turned completely upside down. You don’t get to come back “home”. There is no one coming with you. You have 30 minutes to pack two bags (carry-on and backpack) before a car is picking you up to take you and said bags to the airport. You can choose the where. For me, it would be someplace like the wilds of Scotland. For Read More...

Now That I Have Your Attention…

by Christopher Penczak, edited by Tina Whittle “Now that I have your attention…I don’t want to give it up.” These words were spoken to me by someone I’d just met at an event I was helping to organize. A friend introduced us, suggesting I might have helpful thoughts on a magickal problem, and I shared what I thought would help, but found that following statement interesting. I know it can be difficult to break the ice and Read More...

Claire du Nord here, a High Priestess in the Temple of Witchcraft tradition, with the eighteenth article in our “For Broom Closet Witches” series.

It “cropped up” again this Litha, as I contemplated the agrarian and pastoral cycles so important to our Wheel of the Year celebrations. Although I now live in Read More...

Magick in the Mundane: on seeing no imperfections

Recently, in the midst of apologizing about myself, the person interrupted and quietly replied, “I see no imperfections, only that which makes you your own particular version of being a human, so in that individual sense: perfect.” It stopped me mid self-diatribe and I was silent. For a very long moment, still as stone, letting those words sink in. What if I could actually, permanently think about myself like that? Instead of all the inner critic, self Read More...
