The Temple of the Black Flame
In times of trouble in our homes, community, nation and world, we feel divided and seek to blame the “other” for all ills of the world, a story Witches are intimately familiar. Yet if all are things are thoughts within the Divine Mind, all is within Divine Order and there can be no true “other.” Still we have conflict and injustice, fear and blame. We seek this mystery of paradox through the Ebony Temple of the Desert at the edge of the abyss and seek the flame that radiates iridescent and ultraviolet light, to see what is invisible and other in the world and ourselves. Through this revelation, we seek to heal the wound of the world and within.
The Seven Keys of the Witch’s Sabbat
Seek the mystery of the Witch in the eternal sabbat of the Mighty Dead. See the sabbat as a mandala, a teaching tool, a map of initiation to navigate relationships with the evolutionary streams of ancestors, fey, and angelic beings. Understand the dance of the Soul of the World through seven alchemical keys to the Sabbat: Procession, Gate, Pact, Sex, Feast, Battle, and Game. Each embodies its own mystery to build relationships with ourselves and our magickal ancestors and allies. Through it, seek the alchemical heart of the Earth. Use these seven steps on the Crooked Path to both deepen our magickal practice and our experience of life, joining the eternal dance of creation.
The Quest for the Sword of Truth
The elemental spirits of the realm of air, dwelling the Temple of the Winds, are the keepers of the Sword of Truth. These spirits aid us in revealing our deep seeded truths and expressing our true voice, thereby consciously claiming the power to think and speak our reality into being. Learn ritual techniques to further empower and honor your ritual blade, be it an athame or single edged knife to become a touchstone for truth and life. Through guided journey, encounter the illuminated ministers of the Winds and breath, the sylphs, anemoi, and airts, the Elemental Rulers of Paralda and Eostar and the Archangel Raphael to deepen your understanding of the mysteries of Air and the Sword of Truth.
