The Outer Temple of Witchcraft

This new edition of the award-winning Outer Temple of Witchcraft features enhancements, corrections, and a focus on inclusivity. As you enter the heart of witchcraft, you find at its core the power of sacred space. In Christopher Penczak's first book, The Inner Temple of Witchcraft, you found the sacred space within yourself. Now The Outer Temple of Witchcraft helps you manifest the sacred in the outer world through ritual and spellwork. The book's twelve lessons, with exercises, rituals, and homework, follow the traditional Wiccan one-year-and-a-day training period. It culminates in a self-test and self-initiation ritual to the second degree of witchcraft—the arena of the priestess and priest.

The ruins of ancient temples lay scattered throughout the world, on craggy peaks, in sacred groves, and sometimes even underneath the foundations of modern buildings. These sacred sites have served as bridges between humans and their gods, places imbued with centuries of magick and mystery. Modern witches create their own temples in bedrooms and back yards, parks and forests, beaches and deserts around the world. The witch learns how to create sacred space both within and without. In The Inner Temple of Witchcraft, the first book in this series, acclaimed author Christopher Penczak focused on creating sacred space in the temple within through meditation, visualization, and developing psychic skills. Take the next step and learn how to manifest the sacred in the outer world through ritual and spellwork. Based upon successful real-world classes taught by the author, this intensive year-and-a-day self-study course culminates with an initiation ritual as priest/ess in the craft, equivalent to the second degree of witchcraft in a five-degree system. After completing your studies you will be ready to claim the role of priestess or priest and live it in your day-to-day life. Explore the many facets of witchcraft from honoring divinity to spellcraft, including creating elemental gateways, casting magick circles, finding and empowering tools, herb and stone craft, magickal correspondences, divination, and lunar and astrological timing. Understanding the elements of ritual and spellwork provides a strong foundation for building your own magickal temple.
