We look forward to see what we can do in 2021!

Our policy is that whenever we collect any money for an event,
it is donated to the house in which we had the event in. After the March lockdown to reduce the transmission of Covid-19, we moved everything to Zoom but still had safe-distanced pick-up drops for workshop supplies. Thank you to UUCLV for allowing us to hold our drop pick-ups at their physical location.

Our students are never required to "pay" for classes, however, we ask for non-compulsory dues from members. At the first year level, these dues total $15 for classes monthly and an additional $30 for each sabbat. The student can give cash to their instructors, who in turn puts it in the next sabbat envelope (which is usually given to the Las Vegas Natural History Museum) or the student is free to donate monthly to an organization they believe in and want to help. All we ask for is the receipt of that donation. This is why there is so much diversity in our donations.

We get three questions over and over and over again.
This is the most common. Read about the two others here: About US

know, and thankfully, he is incredibly generous with his knowledge and time. He is a leader in the Kemetic Temple Collective, and of Temple of Ra.

He is a font of Egyptological knowledge, studies the same, and has not only helped keep the Kemetic Temple Collective alive after its founder’s untimely passing, but caused to be published Everlasting Egypt, the second in a series of books I consider the gold standard in Kemetic Reconstructionism.

The State of Inner Circle Sanctuary 2021

12/6/2020

0 Comments

What a long way Inner Circle Sanctuary has come in six years. Our Coven has grown, even in the time of Covid, as have our activities, both private and public. Our Sabbat practices and Sabbat Rituals continue to be excellent, magical, and communal. We hold six classes a week, and in between these classes, the Elders interview potential new students, plan our activities, and continually edit our materials. Our planning also includes planning for the long term, as we try to leave as little to chance as possible.

Over the past few years, our people, and friends who have attended our events have donated several thousands of dollars to charitable organizations, demonstrating Inner Circle Sanctuary’s commitment to the greater community.

Our public lectures and other outreach have been beneficial to the public’s understanding of Witchcraft/Wicca. Inner Circle Sanctuary has been on TV and one of our most talented Elders, Lady Sisterwolf was interviewed for the piece. We are very thankful the Las Vegas Natural History Museum, Fox 5, and Henderson International School have given us the opportunity to edify the public regarding our religion and practices.

Now that the “State of the Sanctuary” has been addressed, please bear with me as I describe how we got here.

Review: The Craft: Legacy

11/2/2020

THE CRAFT: LEGACY

5 Elements out of 5

See the Trailer: https://youtu.be/J60ueFp-jv8

This movie is magick right off the bat, and doesn’t let up till the very last scene. Do like I did, and eat some leftover Halloween candy, turn out the lights and watch.

For those of you who grew up on The Craft, know beforehand it is not The Craft. But neither are you the person who first fell in love with that incredible movie. The Craft: Legacy is at once its own beautiful creature, and a perfect continuation of the original.

The scenery is so gorgeous I now want to live in where it is set. The magick is so well shot it will excite non- magical people and not turn off practicing Witches. The chants are cool (and useable!) and Witchcraft theory, and even ethics are explored.

As The Craft did, the Craft: Legacy really reflects the times, and yet is timeless. All the actors perform incredibly as very real characters living in situations that can go real to surreal in a second. You will love them.
There are plenty of nods to the original, and the 90s in general. I love the quick flash of Pamela Colman-Smith in the beginning. The Craft: Legacy thought up all sorts of cool new ways to advance what the original started. Any loose ends give me hope there will be another The Craft before I die.

Was there anything I didn’t love about this movie? No, and I am glad we bought it instead of renting, because I know we will watch it repeatedly. I wish Lady Morgana and Lord Mordred could see it, as they loved the original. And I hope it isn’t 25 years till the next one is made.

I love The Craft: Legacy!
