The meeting this Sunday 23 September will be a talk by Julian Websdale entitled “An Outline of Modern Witchcraft”.

I’m sure Julian will give us a lot of information about the subject,  but briefly “Witchcraft refers to the worldview, religion, and practices associated with using rituals that are believed to harness and focus cosmic or psychic energies to bring about some desired change.

Modern witchcraft is the largest and most common subset of neo-paganism, a diverse group of religious movements that claim to be derived from historical pagan religions.”

All welcome. 2.30pm start. £3 minimum donation.

The first meeting of the Autumn is on September 9th and we are happy to welcome back Ted Capstick, Esoteric Astrologer and Deep student of the Ancient Wisdom.

His talk is entitled  “Esoteric Wisdom of the Druids –  Ancient Celtic Priests”

“Druids – A sacerdotal caste which flourished in Britain and Gaul. They were Initiates who admitted females into their sacred order, and initiated them into the mysteries of their religion. They never entrusted their sacred verses and scriptures to writing, but, like the Brahmins of old, committed them to memory; a feat which, according to the statement of Caesar, took twenty years to accomplish. Like the Parsis they had no images or statues of their gods. The Celtic religion considered it blasphemy to represent any god, even of a minor character under a human figure. It would have been well if the Greek and Roman Christians had learnt this lesson from the “pagan” Druids. The three chief commandments of their religion were: – “Obedience to divine laws; concern for the welfare of mankind; suffering with fortitude all the evils of life.”

— H.P. Blavatsky, Theosophical Glossary, p. 105
