Scourge Making
with Inner Circle Sanctuary
Saturday, November 21, 202 from 6 PM - 9 PM PT
on Zoom

Let ICS allay your fears about this traditional magical tool by showing you how to make a scourge and by explaining what it’s used for. When finished, we will consecrate our new tool together.

If you’d like to join our online crafting event, you can pick up a kit for $10 which will include:

Mercury Retrograde Spell

10/19/2020

The way Inner Circle Sanctuary lives with Mercury Retrograde is to stay in touch with Him, via Candle Magick.

In this case, we use a Blue Candle, Mercury Oil, and draw/inscribe His Planetary Glyph and Rad (symbol of three diamonds) on it.

-For Jar Candles, this Rad can/should be carved into the wax.
With Mercury Oil, we anoint the top counter-clockwise, because He appears to be moving backwards through the heavens. This is NOT a Reversing Spell, but to stay close to Him.

-If one uses Pillar or Household Candles, we suggest anointing towards one’s self, for the same purpose.

We light these candles during Mercury Retrograde, and until He is out of His shadow - when He reaches the point where Retrograde started.

****Never Leave Candles Burning Unattended!*****

Ours is a Candle Shop Tradition when it comes to spellwork, namely from Bell Book and Candle, and Cat n Cauldron, which were both home to the Temple of the Inner Circle, headed by Lady Morgana and Lord Mordred. Bell Book and Candle was the oldest Occult Shop in Las Vegas, and had its own deep roots through Tarostar and Charmaine Dey.

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.

Book Review: Garbed in Green by Casey Giovinco

Garbed in Green:
Gay Witchcraft & The Male Mysteries
by Casey Giovinco
A Book Review by Lord Tanys

Garbed in Green is one of the best books on Witchcraft I have read in a long time, and easily the most interesting. While I have read Witchcraft books by Gay Male authors, this is the first I have read that is about Gay Witchcraft, for Gay Male Witches. I really enjoyed reading it, and I refer to it quite frequently.

Casey writes about Gay History in a flowing, easy to understand manner, from modern to ancient. For anyone who is looking for historical accounts that are not the usual Wicca/Witchcraft fare, this is certainly eye opening and important.

He talks about the Mysteries for several chapters, and these are some of the most interesting in the book. Here the author talks about Goddesses and Gods, Legends, Polarity, in a very diverse context of ages and cultures that opens one’s eyes to the vastness of the Mysteries themselves, especially when seen from a new perspective. Few books of Witchcraft and Wicca touch on what Casey writes about.

Our Wiccan Altar: Pentacles

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.

Are You Gonna Go My Way

10/5/2020

There is no one way to do anything in the realm of Magick. To think that yours is the right way, the only way, or even that there is a right way, or an only way, will only break your heart.

The Elemental Placings is one such example. Inner Circle Sanctuary uses the:
Air/East
Fire/South
Water/West
Earth/North
placings that was popularized by the Golden Dawn. The Aurum Solis uses this system as well.
