Hello everyone!
Early registration is up for the Temple of Witchcraft, Shamanic Temple of Witchcraft Mystery School class, beginning in March of 2024 and ends in February of 2025.
The Shamanic Temple of Witchcraft Class
Witches are often known as “walkers between worlds” acting as a bridge between the physical world and the spiritual, to bring healing and balance to both. Before you can heal others, you must embrace your own healing path.
Reclaim the shamanic ancestry of the Witch using both European and core shamanic journeying techniques to travel the middle, upper and lower realms of the shaman’s world tree. Focusing on the element of water as the gateway to the spirit realm, learn to reflect on your inner emotions and dive deep to heal your past. Learn techniques to further your relationship with your shadow self.
Topics include alignment with the three selves, spirit allies, working with the totem/fetch/familiar, animal and plant spirit medicine, past life healing, soul healing and communion with the Dark Goddess.
This year-long course fuses material from The Temple of Shamanic Witchcraft text (required reading) and The Temple of Shamanic Witchcraft CD Companion (required listening) with previously unreleased rituals and rites from the Temple of Witchcraft Book of Shadows. In-person students will work with a certified Temple teacher in monthly class sessions. Lessons can vary in size and scope with some months being light and others being more involved. Generally one month is given between lessons and you are expected to complete a lesson before receiving the next.
Students with any issues or questions regarding class material can write directly to the individual teacher of the class.
Witchcraft I, and II through the Temple of Witchcraft Mystery School is required to attend this class.

Registration and Class Details

You must have completed previous Temple of Witchcraft Levels (I & II)
Registration fees for course are not refundable in most cases, as your registration secures your spot in the class, and often prevents others from attending.
An interview will be conducted with HP Scott K Smith prior to class to make sure you are the right fit! It is a lovely, and intense year of magick and mystery, and an organized, structured class with due dates and accountability isn’t for everyone.
Written, email format homework, is required, monthly at the beginning of the month to take the class, as is in-person attendance. We are not an online school.
This is a Mystery Tradition, while we are an eclectic pagan, occult, and even Wicca influenced community of learning, it is a Tradition, and you are on the path of the Initiate in the Temple of Witchcraft.
About the Temple of Witchcraft
Co-founded by Christopher Penczak, Steve Kenson, and Adam Sartwell, the Temple 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. The work of the Temple is both other-worldly and terrestrial, seeking to strengthen the connections between spirit and matter through inner transformation and public service.
The Temple of Witchcraft’s goal on an individual level is to awaken the potential of the human soul to its natural gifts of psychic awareness, communion with nature and the spirits, and magick. Each individual seeks to live a magickal life. Through these awakenings, we seek an expansion of consciousness through the alignment of our souls with Love, Will, and Wisdom to further the Great Work.
On a greater scale, we seek the restoration, maintenance, and evolution of humanity to the Garden of the Gods, the cooperative consciousness where all things are in harmony and community. Our myths define this awareness as the First Garden, known as Avalon, Hesperides, Zep Tepi, Shamballa, Lemuria, even Eden. We manifest this vision through both our inner workings and service to the greater community. By these actions, we plant the seeds and tend the garden of Witchcraft culture, tradition and community.
