A Requiem for John Lennon

10/11/2020

 
A woman came into the World Famous Bell, Book & Candle several years ago, and gave our Lord Mordred her Golden Dawn material. This treasure trove included Enochian tablets, illustrations of Sacred Geometry, Talismans, and Rituals, including this Golden Dawn style Requiem for John Lennon. John Lennon would have been 80 this year.

Our Wiccan Altar: Pentacles

10/6/2020

 
Pentacle Pentagram Inner Circle Sanctuary Wicca Altar Tools
Inner Circle Sanctuary: Our Wiccan Altar series

To practice your magical art, you need a magical space. Many Wiccans set up an altar for their craft working, and this can be anything from a small end table to a 9-foot marble behemoth.

Inner Circle Sanctuary is somewhere in between. We enjoy our craft and all the tools associated with our religion; therefore, we have a nice 6-foot table we like to use to hold all of our ritual accoutrement.
If you’ve ever been to our sabbats, you’ve no doubt noticed our big and beautifully decorated altar as the centerpiece to all of our rituals. It’s full of deity statues, seasonal decorations, and tools. Lots of magical tools.

The Altar Pentacle
The pentacle is the first thing you’ll notice on our ritual altar. It might be made of wood with the pentagram burned into it, along with some candle wax stains. Sometimes, you’ll see a hand-painted pentacle that was lovingly traced and painted, but it has a few spots of water discoloration. Occasionally, you’ll see a huge and ornate, but scarred, altar pentacle that was designed and crafted by one of our founders, Lady Morgana. All were handmade and all are well-used. The scars they have only add to their beauty and power.

Sandy, Jim, Gary, Chris, and Alan: Golden Dawn

8/23/2020

 
Our Founder, the late Lady Morgana, was a magnet. She attracted students (like us) to her, as well as clients and customers from every Tradition and all walks of life to her stores, from Mystical Powers, to Cat n Cauldron and finally Bell, Book and Candle.

Early in the 2000s, a woman walked into Bell, Book and Candle, and handed a bunch of Golden Dawn type Rituals, and Ritual Objects used by her small working group that practiced in Carmichael, CA, in 1980 to our Lord Mordred.

Though the quality of the scans isn't great, it is interesting to read how the group assigned the parts and kept everyone busy. As the Equinoxes are a time of balance, they are considered to hold great power. 
​
The Great Work of Sandy, Jim, Gary, Chris, and Alan lives on.

Inner Circle Sanctuary also receives and curates Ritual Items and Magical Materials from our Founders, Elders and friends as a part of our Mission, and for posterity.

Everyone has a right to the Goddess

6/28/2020

 
Originally posted on August 28, 2017
Our 'About Page' starts with this statement.
​​​For a quarter of a century, we have practiced our brand of Wicca and taught it to the public regardless of gender, race, sexual orientation, political orientation, health, and class. We see more similarities than separation among people, and transform our differences into strength.
Inner Circle, in all it's incarnations, has always been inclusive and we maintain that stance even more so today.

The High Priest of our group, Lord Mordred, (whom we affectionately called the "Dark Lord") had many sayings we loved dearly... including this one: "Everyone has a right to the Goddess."
Picture
Anyone who wishes to join us will have to accept that we may have a gay couple leading our ring... we may have a trans-gendered person paired with a partner leading our ring... and they will kiss one another, as is the way of our rituals. We already have plenty of priests and priestesses who have no issue with performing these rituals so it is not required, but if you wish to join us, you have to be accepting of this. The "it's Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve" has NO place in our Wiccan coven.
Picture
There is a Wiccan chant that seems like it's been around forever that says:
We All Come From The Goddess
And To Her We Shall Return
Like A Drop Of Rain,
Flowing To The Ocean
We believe that 'We All Come From the Goddess' and since We are a part of Nature and We hold all things in Nature in reverence, We ourselves hold each other in reverence. This is a core belief of Wicca and anything else is completely incongruent with that belief.

Board of Elders,
​Inner Circle Sanctuary
June 28, 2020 Update
It is with a heavy heart that we announce that we will no longer support Temple of Sekhmet. Inner Circle Sanctuary will not attend any event that is held there and will not be holding any further events of our own there. Their founder has voiced opinions that go against our own teachings.
​

We have repeatedly heralded that "Everyone has a right to the Goddess." Trans Women are Women. Trans Men are Men. Non Binary People are People. We believe that the Goddess sees us as we are and not as society defines us.
​

Post edit: removed "we believe" as our High Priest said "Trans Women are Women. Trans Men are Men. Non Binary People are People." Belief is not needed.

Waning Moon Esbat Ritual
with Inner Circle Sanctuary

Join Inner Circle Sanctuary for a waning moon ritual. Our members will ritually create a magic space where everyone can come together to create and empower their own unique spell.

The waning phase of the moon is a good time for work that involves releasing things, getting rid of unwanted habits, stopping problems, and generally moving things away from you. “As the moon wanes, so may my”......whatever you’d like.
