"This is foremost an engaging textbook designed for home schooling the advancing witch, and it is encyclopedic in its rituals, charts, and even homework assignments."

The Craft meets high magick in The Temple of High Witchcraft, the much-anticipated fourth volume in Christopher Penczak's award-winning Temple of Witchcraft series. The Temple of High Witchcraft takes your practice to the next level by mastering the essentials of ceremonial magick. In The Temple of High Witchcraft Penczak introduces the concepts of the Qabalah (including a discussion of each sphere of the Tree of Life) and the rituals of high magick. Penczak also explores the deeply interwoven relationship between these traditions and the Craft.
The teachings in The Temple of High Witchcraft correspond to the element of Air, guiding you into the realm of creative and critical thinking, communication, knowledge, and truth. Four preliminary chapters introduce the basic concepts, history, and skills you will need for your journey. Next, twelve formal lessons, in the Witches' traditional year-and-a-day format, provide instruction in the fundamentals of ceremonial magic and how to integrate these ideas and practices into your Craft:
- The Qabalah
- The Tree of Life
- Symbol and Sigil Magick
- Elemental Constructs
- Qabalistic Cross
- The Four Worlds
- Middle Pillar
- Pathworking
- The Ritual of the Rosy Cross
- Invoking and Banishing Rituals
- Fluid Condensers
- Words of Power, Magickal Constructs, and the Goetia
The Temple of High Witchcraft's thirteenth lesson culminates in a ritual initiation fusing the traditions of witchcraft and high magick – the creation of your own Reality Map. The cosmology you create will be based on your own spiritual experiences as well as the philosophies and practices of ceremonial magick.
