Past Events Hosted by the
Temple of the DarK Moon
The Gathering Around the Cauldron is a series of semi-regular gatherings that offer the opportunity for the genuine seeker, novice or solitary to gain practical experience when it comes to working magick and ritual through the lens of contemporary witchcraft.
These Gatherings also aim at establishing a community for those who are interested in the practice of magic, seasonal and lunar rites, and who are interested in learning more about contemporary witchcraft. To find out what workshops are currently on offer, simply click on the button below:
Previous Gathering Around the Cauldron workshops have included:
March 2024 - The Alchemy of the Autumn Equinox
The Autumn Equinox is a sacred magical and alchemical portal marking the gateway to the approach of winter, the growing darkness, and the time of promised rest and retreat.
Within contemporary witchcraft, it is seen as the second harvest
festival, that of the wine, of ecstasy of the spirit as deep within each and every one of us a somewhat radical shift occurs affecting our physiological and psychic functions.
May 2024 - The Elements of Witchcraft
The ancient Greeks referred to the four elements as being the building blocks of the universe. Even today, Earth, Air, Fire and Water are still considered to be the foundations upon which all magics are based. Yet, in our modern world, they are often taken for granted.
April 2024 - Honouring the Ancestors
As the shades of the dark half of the year draw near, we find ourselves approaching the time as to when the portals between the worlds are at their thinnest, that being Samhain, the Celtic festival of dead, here in the Southern Hemisphere.
Within contemporary witchcraft, it is the final harvest festival, that of blood, where we connect with those who have gone before, both of our own DNA and cultural lineages, as well as those of other lineages through which we are connected in spirit.
