Fellow travelers,
I have a brief question based on what I’ve read in the “Evoking Eternity” Grimoire:
It’s advised there that the temple be a room, a space that is not being used for anything else. That is part of the preparation practices. Though I have quite a spacious house, I don’t possess a room in it that is not being used for anything. What should I do?
Any thoughts on the subject would be much appreciated.
You could build an astral temple and go there while meditation to speak with the entities you are in contact with. For actual rituals you could go outside, maybe a forest which is near? Or your garden. A altar doesn’t have to be big and can be in a corner you don’t use that much and where strangers don’t go to
No problem! And yes it is you can build it anywhere and there are no limits to decoration and stuff like that, it’s pretty cool to make every little detail
I personally don’t think you need a temple, of course it is nice to make rituals at the same spot but a whole room is kinda too much, for me at least. I think astral temples are also more personal and private, so I would watch out who you let in because it is as if you let them in to a part of your soul… but this regards probably more humans than spirits
Any space available is usually fine. A little corner of your bedroom works. Thats what i do. It has barely enough room for my universal circle but ive had no problens.
This one is great when weather permits. It can get tricky in the winter and rain, though, depending on what you are doing. Basements are good otherwise, or a spacious closet area.
It’s liberating, yes? Especially on a bright night or cooking in the sun during an intense working. It feels like being pulled out of the modern world into a place created just for you to do your magick…which is basically what a temple is, IMO.
Is that the same spot during different seasons? I love the cairns.
