The Temple of Shamanic Witchcraft: Shadows, Spirits and the Healing Journey
Journey into the ancient roots of the Craft — where witchcraft and shamanism were never separate.
Long before modern Wicca took shape, the roots of the Craft stretched back 20,000 years to the shamanic traditions of tribal cultures worldwide. In The Temple of Shamanic Witchcraft, Christopher Penczak — one of the most respected voices in contemporary witchcraft — bridges these ancient and modern paths in a comprehensive year-and-a-day training that will transform how you understand and practice the Craft.
Corresponding to the water element, this third volume of Penczak's witchcraft teachings guides you deep into the realm of emotion, reflection, and healing. Through twelve formal lessons, you'll explore the full landscape of shamanic practice as it intersects with witchcraft — from cosmology and spirit journeying to soul retrieval and psychic surgery.
Inside you'll discover:
- Shamanic cosmologies and how they relate to modern witchcraft
- Techniques for journeying, dreamwork, and spirit communication
- Animal, plant, and stone medicine and working with totems
- Soul retrieval and psychic surgery for deep healing work
- Exercises using modern techniques and materials, assignments, and practical tips
- A self-initiation ritual culminating in healing, rebirth, and transformation
Whether you're a practicing witch seeking to deepen your roots or a shamanic practitioner drawn to the Craft, The Temple of Shamanic Witchcraft is an essential guide to one of the most powerful healing traditions on earth.
