The Gates of Witchcraft: Twelve Paths of Power, Trance and Gnosis
Wednesday, June 11 at 7pm-9:30pm
$55 per person
Traditionally witches use a variety of methods to enter trance or raise power. In the original Gardnerian Book of Shadows, Eight Paths of Power are listed. Modern witches explore all of these paths and more. Join us in a survey of the paths of power, including meditation, breath work, music, dance, isolation, intoxicants, sexuality, ordeals, location, timing, vestments and dreams. Through experimentation in class, experience the trance inducing and energy raising effects of several of these paths.
Christopher Penczak is a modern Witch working in the Temple of Witchcraft tradition and community he helped co-found as a writer, teacher, and minister. His practice focuses on the intersection of Love, Will, and Wisdom as an ethos for today’s Witch, and focuses upon relationships with the plant realm, the patterns of astrology, traditional occultism, and the use of trance in the Craft.
He is the author of many books, including the award winning Temple of Witchcraft series, The Plant Spirit Familiar, and The Mighty Dead, as well as the co-owner of Copper Cauldron Publishing. The Temple of Witchcraft offers in-person and online mystery school and seminary training based upon his teachings.
Classes will take place at the Deadwick's Common Room, 19 Sheafe St., Portsmouth, NH and will run approximately two and a half hours. Please arrive promptly at 7pm, and allow time for parking.
