Our History 

 

 

Lord Laith Angus Min founded Life Temple and Seminary based on a Craft of Land family tradition, passed through many generations of the Cheek and Croyw families. In 1994, Life Temple and Seminary gained our 501(c) (3) status, making us one of the few Temples in the Carolinas to have this honor.  Our beliefs are orthodox in nature and are often regarded alongside other well-known traditional covens such as Ravenwood of Atlanta GA and Tuatha Caer de Shidhe of Greenville SC.

 

In 2003 Lord Chase Night Smith became the acting High Priest of Life Temple & Seminary in Gastonia NC.

The Lords & Ladies of Life Temple & Seminary 
 
Lord Laith Angus Min - Elder

Lord Min is the only remaining founding member of Life Temple and Seminary. It was his vision which put into motion, along with a select few other people, the necessary events to begin Life Temple and Seminary; building upon the beliefs and practices of his family’s tradition. His mother and grandmother initiated him into Craft at the age of puberty. After many years of service, he is retired but still remains active in his role as Elder.

 
Lord Chase Night Smith - 3rd Degree
Our High Priest, Lord Night was sired by our founder, Lord Angus Min. Lord Night over-sees all the day to day management of Life Temple, including rituals and classes. He has a strong passion for teaching and is well versed in Celtic mythology, history and anthropology. He recieved his 1st degree in 1998, his 2nd in 2000 and his 3rd in 2003.
 
Lord Raistlin - 2nd Degree
Lord Raistlin began his studies under the guidance of Lord Angus Min. He has spent many years cultivating knowledge about Wicca including tenants, Wiccan laws, and protocol. Although he is currently solitary, he is still a vital part of Life Temple and Seminary, providing his knowledge to assist with classes.
 
Gabrielle - 1st Degree
Gabrielle came to us several years ago in search of community plus a structured environment to worship and learn. With close ties to her Sicilian roots Gabrielle has a background in Stregheria or Strega - Italian witchcraft. She was initiated into Craft by Lord Night in 2007. She is an active member of Life Temple and an active student. Her areas of expertise include business administration and teaching. She is currently fullfilling her clergical residency (a requirement of her studies) and is our acting High Priestess.
