The Society of the Temple

The Society of the Temple is the container for post-Mystery School courses that do not confer degree or title, but explore, deepen, and expand our mystical knowledge, as rooted in the Temple’s Three Rays of Witchcraft paradigm. Designed to encourage exploration and experience on your own path, homework is not required for review, but sharing is encouraged.

Deep and regular practice of ritual and mystical journey will be necessary to fully experience and embody these teachings. These paths are for spiritual development and illumination, “crafting” your soul to contain a more fully developed consciousness, seeking greater harmony with the cosmos.

The Society embodies a potential nine-year course of study, divided into three levels of three rays. Each level has two prerequisites: Three Rays of Witchcraft I, II, and III and Merkaba I, II, and III. After each level prerequisite, you can walk one of that level’s paths for nine months. At the completion of a nine-month path, you have the option to walk another path of the same level, or continue on one path to the next level.

Recorded classes will be delivered as downloadable .mp3 files with accompanying class handouts and written materials in .pdf format.

Availability: Prerequisites and course level availability are:

  • Prerequisite classes of Three Rays of Witchcraft I, II, and III and Merkaba I, II, and III are open to anyone.

  • Level II Material (Red Ray II, Yellow Ray II, Blue Ray II) is available to Witchcraft IV graduates and higher.
