Ministerial Dark Moon:
The Akashic Grimoire
Sunday, February 7th at 7:00 pm in Salem, NH - For Ministerial members of the Temple of Witchcraft and special guests only.
Suggested donation: $15. If you qualify and are interested, please write
pisces@templeofwitchcraft.org to join us.
From the traditions of Edgar Cayce to modern lore on personal readings, the Akashic Records hold a strange fascination for us. Seen as the deep memory of the Earth, or the Odic Mantle, the Aura of our planetary being, we will learn to access wisdom from the Umbra and Akasha for our magickal evolution. Famed psychedelic Mazatec healer, or curandera, Maria Sabina, was granted a vision of the Book of Wisdom from those spirits she called the Principal Ones. Within this Book of Language, everything she would need to know to heal was written. Despite being illiterate, she absorbed a vast amount of spiritual knowledge and wisdom. Soon the book was assimilated unconsciously and she no longer had to see the answers in the book while in vision. Inspired by that same vision, we seek our own Book of the Principal Ones, the akashic source of magickal knowledge and wisdom for ourselves. And we will learn to integrate it into our being.
