One part dream house, one part mind palace, one part power reservoir, and one part whatever you need it to be, the Inner Temple is as much a magickal tool as it is a creative expression of the practitioner who builds it. In this workshop, we'll delve into the different functions that you can incorporate into your Inner Temple and go over the step-by-step process of creating it. We'll also discuss best practices to keep your Inner Temple orderly and secure and what to do if you find that your Inner Temple needs some cleaning, repair, or refreshing.
