GREETINGS and WELCOME
Welcome to the web page of the Temple of the Dark Moon. We are an active "progressive" Alexandrian coven located just 20 minutes north of Adelaide's CBD in South Australia. We follow the initiatory degree system found within traditional Wicca as well as other ethics central to this religious and spiritual path. We also include other spiritual and magickal practices within our workings in order to assist with the individual spiritual growth of each member.
Amongst the pages of our web site, we offer some general introductory information about Paganism, and in particular how it relates to Wicca, as well as information specifically connected to the Southern Hemisphere.
If you are new to, or would like to find out some more information about Wicca and Paganism in general, we recommend you read Paganism: Different Religion, Similar Belief and Is Wicca the right Spiritual Path for Me?
We also recommend reading Teachers of the Craft from Witches Voice if you are looking for a Wiccan teacher/mentor as it provides some good advice for the novice seeker. Similarly, you can contact our own High Priestess.
ENCOUNTERING THE DARK GODDESS WORKSHOP - 26 May 2012
Following Samhain, the Celtic festival of the Dead, and the May Dark Moon, you are invited to journey with as into the hidden depths of the Underworld. Here we will meet the Keeper of the Secrets and the Cauldron of Inner Knowledge, the Life Transformer, the Mover and Shaker, the Sorceress ... and all the other names by which the Dark Goddess has been referred to.

|
Through ritual, myth and magick, we journey into these hidden depths together to face our shadows and open ourselves up to be transformed under the protective guidance of the Dark Goddess.
During this interactive workshop, you will meet and work with various guises of the Dark Goddess including the Hebrew seductress Lilith, the Hindu "dark mother", Kali-Ma; the Egyptian "Eye of Ra", Sekhmet; the ancient Babylonian Queen of the Underworld, Ereshkigal; and the Slavic initiator, Baba Yaga.
Registration form and flyer for this transforming workshop can be found here.
Registrations close 5 May 2012.

MAGICKAL RETREATS FOR 2012
The Temple of the Dark Moon is proposing to hold a number of overnight retreats throughout 2012 with two being open to the public - these being Mid Winter Solstice (23-24 June) and Bealtaine (early November). These retreats will be fully catered and held at a location deep within the forest of the beautiful Adelaide Hills, and overlooking St Vincent Gulf.
Details of these retreats will be made available in early February 2012.
THE GODDESS HOUSE
The Goddess House was initially established in 2007 to honour the Goddess through devotional services as well as providing free healing circles for the community at large.
Due to other commitments involving the Priestess in Residence, the monthly services will temporarily cease until later in 2012. In their place, selected rites and workshops will be held.
