Seminary School
Life Temple & Seminary is a well respected, recognized teaching temple. Classes are free and open to adults ages 18 & older. If you are interested in taking classes, please read the information below and then contact us for an admissions interview and introduction.
The teachings of Life Temple & Seminary are not for everyone. Our teachings are very traditional and orthodox. Our classes are structured and organized and we have a strong sense of protocol & values. We do not believe our way is “the right way”, only that it is a way and it will be right for some, but not all.
If you are interested in learning about our faith and you have a desire to better discover yourself & your own beliefs, then our classes may be the place for you do so. There are no fees or dues associated with classes. They are free. Donations are gladly accepted, however.
Our classes are a set structure with a syllabus that is not modifiable. The classes are sequential and progress in an order that supports and reiterates what you learned in a previous class. There are 13 classes to each degree of study.
Classes for First Degree study will begin again in late February or early March. We are scheduling new student interviews - contact us to set an orientation date.
Classes for those new to Wiccan study include lectures that will teach you:
The History & Origin of Celtic Witchcraft
Ancient Celtic life is not what you might think. There is a rich, vibrant culture and legacy that was left by the original Celtic people. Who are they? What was life like? How did they live? What laws, morals and religious beliefs did they have? In our classes we cover all this and more. We delve deep in the Celtic life and go beyond what history books have to offer. See how greatly the Celts influenced modern day life and why we still follow many of their ways today.
Wiccan Protocol, Laws, Ethics & Tenants of The Faith Believe it or not Wiccan’s have all of the above. If you are unfamiliar with these important practices and customs you might easily and unknowingly offend a member of the wiccan community. The Wiccan Laws set the rules by which we live. Although they are readily available, it can sometimes be hard to understand all of the laws and your part in upholding them. Wiccan Tenants are rules for enlightenment and spiritual growth. Although they are easier said than done, we delve into the importance of all three and how they can positively influence your life.
The Wiccan Calendar - including Sabbats
Most people interested in Craft are familiar with the standard full moon and sabat rituals that make up the Wiccan Calendar. But do you know what these holidays and great feasts mean? Do you understand why they are celebrated? If you want to learn the Celtic meaning of these all important observances and worship with more purpose and understanding, our classes will help you do that.
Meditation Meditation is a simple thing that many cultures and religions practice. But are your meditations working? Are they the right meditation for you? What makes meditation effective and how do you best use meditation in your day to day life? We’ll cover it all and give you practical meditation exercises.
Circle Construction / Mechanics Probably the area of Wicca kept most secret in history is the process of circle casting and construction. Not everyone is meant to know and understand this sacred rite. As your classes progress, circle casting will be covered; but only when the time is right and you are ready to learn it.
Divination
There are many forms of divination with originals that stretch across the globe. Many people drawn to Wicca take an interest in divination but find it hard to find practical answers to their questions. This class covers many methods and allows you the chance to practice hands on in a safe environment.
