Temples & Gateways
The Mother Temple of Four Pillars of Fire
This is the heart of the Primal Craft.
Restored by hand almost two decades ago, the Mother Temple is a Gate to Atlantean realms through which the Backward Way of Hecate’s Primal Witchcraft may be accessed. Each of the four outer Pillars of the Temple are stone vortices – attached to the central Fifth Pillar of Fire. The Four Pillars are the Thrones of the Gods. The central vortex is the Womb of Hecate. All magick seeded within the Womb of Hecate – at the heart of which the Fetish Lord, the Devil Himself, stands – is manifested across all planes. This is the ancient formula through which the Venom of Sepheranz, ignited by the Fire of Lucifer, short forth through the phallus of Belial, is seeded within the Womb of Hecate. The Gateways of Salwar and Qayin open at the Heart of the Mother Temple, allowing the soul to walk between the Rows of the Devil’s Harvest in Initiation.
As the manifestation of the Supreme Temple of Hecate, the Mother Temple of Four Pillars of Fire is the Gate through which the Kalas of Stellar Flame of the Supreme Dark Goddess are earthed. Hecate’s Higher Star Fire – reified through the Temple – now flows throughout the planet itself, pouring into the Dragon Lines through the dedicated and empowered formations created within the Mother Temple. This is a part of the process through which the planet, as the living Body of Belial, will begin to purify and cleanse itself of the toxicity and poisoning of the land caused by man. It is work in which the devotees of the Craft assist the Gods themselves in the cleansing of this living world – the interaction of Witchcraft with the living and spiritual world.
As the Heart of the All, the Mother Temple is the central vortex to which the outer gateways of Primal Craft are connected. Standing stones may fall, mortals may wither, die or simply move on – but a vortex opened in free will by a willing soul in alignment with the Mother Temple remains open in this Aeon of the Apocalypse – unless otherwise closed by the Temple Guardian of the Four Pillars of Witchflame. Three of the outer Pillars of Fire are open – the Garden of the Fountain of the Gods being the largest. Once the Goddess Sepheranz’ Pillar of Fire – the Temple of the Apocalyptic Daughter of War, Conquest and Flame – is opened, the formula of the Apocalypse is completed – the World Soul will begin to rebalance and the Destiny of man will be known in Revelation.
Initiations at the Mother Temple
As Gateway to the Thrones of the Gods the Mother Temple holds the Crystal Heart of Belial – buried deep within its core earth. All initiations taken here are held across the planes before the Thrones of the Gods. Beyond Temple Initiation a Devotee may undertake Trials of the Princes of Fire, through which they are empowered to initiate others and open the necessary vortices of the Gods. Atlantean Initiations into the Depths open The Way for the Greater Rites of the Path of Flame. The Initiations of the Scythe – for those seeking to walk the Path of Sulphur, in devotion to Witch Master Qayin – may be undertaken at the Heart of the Mother Temple of the Dark Witch Queen. All initiates will mark their names within the Book of Souls (The Book of Hecate, The Book of Night) at the culmination of their initiation. Initiations are rare and select. We take our time to know the individual and observe their devotion and progress throughout the rites of the Primal Craft. Diligent work through the Grimoires of the Primal Craft of Hecate – beginning with the Trident Trilogy (Queen of Hell, The Red King, The Scorpion God) is essential.
Above all else, our beloved Mother Temple is a sacred place of worship and devotion. The Spirits of the Place, the Elven Kin and the Guardians of the Forest all commune and reveal themselves – alongside the Gods of the Arte – to those blessed souls who partake of this sanctuary; in the Embrace of the Supreme Dark Goddess
The Temple of Belial
The Temple of Belial was opened as a Pillar of Fire by a devotee who underwent both initiation and the process of empowerment – in which immersion of the soul into the four separate kalas of the Four Pillars of Flame, and the marking of one’s name in the Book of Hecate, is a necessary rite of passage – through which an incarnate soul may reform a devoted temple into one of the Four Great Pillars of Fire; connecting it through the Dragon Lines to the Mother Temple here in Spain.
Through intense work and personal devotion the Gatekeeper of Belial’s Temple has now reformed and manifested the Throne of the Crown Prince of this World through the spiritual gateways of this temple – giving it both inner and physical realm structure – empowering it as a Pillar of Flame, through the realignment of the planes, with the rites of sacrifice laid out in the Primal Craft Grimoires: The Altar of Sacrifice and The Witchblood Grail.
In accordance with the Lore of Sacrifice, this Pillar of Fire of the Primal Witchcraft was opened with the necessary honour and sacrifice – given in the formation of The Throne of Belial; now manifested in this Aeon.
The Primal Craft is a living, vibrant tradition carrying the Fire of the Trident Witch Gods to the truly devoted, in the Age of Revelation.
The Garden of the Fountain of The Gods
As Primal Craft continues to grow I felt it was time to revisit the Pillar of HecateĀ“s Witchflame Arte. A huge ongoing devotional project, The Garden of the Fountain of the Gods is Hecate’s Pillar of Fire – through which a soul may access the Western Gate – formed in rural Olde England. This sacred place dedicated to the Goddess Hecate is the largest of the Four Pillars of Fire that are attached to the Mother Temple. As with the Book of Souls and Mother Temple, the sacred soul-keys to the Garden will be passed from Gatekeeper to Apprentice, initiating and ongoing family lineage; thus ensuring that the Primal Current continues to flow not only through these vortices and its grimoires but also through the Initiated Witchblood of those descendants of the original Gatekeepers.
As the Book and Mother Temple passes to the Temple Apprentice – so the Fountain of HecateĀ“s Kalas shall be passed to the Garden Apprentice. There are many of these temples and gateways scattered across several continents – with more being forged and awoken in devotion all the time. Certain gateways, such as the Magickal Sanctuary in Canada, created by the wonderful Peter C prefer the cloak of anonymity in order to preserve the inner peace within which their followers enjoy communion with the Trident. Of all the major temples and sanctuaries – both known and secluded – all have in place the mode through which they will continue beyond the passing of the original Gatekeeper. Provided those of us charged with Keeping sacred keys continue to tend our crops – in love, blood, and devotion – long shall the Devil’s Harvest be reaped and resown in the name of our Goddess, Hecate.
The Temple of the Perfect Red King
The Throne of the Perfect Red King – Threshold to Lucifer’s Realm – this devotional temple exists now in solitude overlooked only by flocks of Crows dwelling above its gateway. Vultures nest in trees opposite the temple. The outer formation of the temple consists of huge standing stones. The stones at the Cardinal Gates – the Pillars of Fire – are over eight feet in height and are surrounded by other, slightly smaller, standing stones each around six feet tall; forming the central vortex of flame. All stones are erected in alignment with the Rites of Hecate and Lucifer’s Witchflame Arte. Adjacent to the stones is a Fire Fire Tallow – Sapium Sebiferum. The central vortex hosts a raised fire pit.
THE THIRD PILLAR OF FIRE – THE THRONE OF LUCIFER
Lucifer’s Pillar of Flame has been ignited. On a Dark Moon the Temple of the Perfect Red King was opened as the Third Pillar of Fire – the Throne of Lucifer – connecting it to the Temple of Belial, Garden of the Gods and Mother Temple of Four Pillars of Fire. The Blood-red Crystal Heart of Lucifer was placed in the temple – in sacrificial and ritual empowerment of this sacred gateway – in accordance with the instruction of the Gods. The actual Gateway of the Temple of the Perfect Red King is a Pillar of Fire connected to the Mother Temple in Spain. Ignited with the formula of Hecate’s Primal Witchcraft this temple is a vortex – a gateway to the realm of the Emperor of Illumination and Stellar Fire.
Once opened by a soul – chosen by both Gods and Gatekeeper of the Mother Temple – the respective Pillars of Fire become autonomous in their service of Hecate’s Mother Temple. A soul is but a willing key; an object or being with which the timeless lock of a Pillar of Fire, its gateway forever existing upon the inner planes, is manifested in the realm of man. Mortals die, move on, or otherwise depart. Standing stones may fall or sink back into the earth, but Pillars of Fire – once opened by a soul, regardless of the path taken by the soul thereafter – forever stand as gateways in service of the Mother Vortex and its Supreme Dark Goddess.The Three Flames of the Trident – in the Heights – have now been reignited. When the Vortex of the Fourth Pillar of Fire – the Temple of Sepheranz – is ignited, the Throne of the Apocalyptic Goddess will manifest in the World of Man and the Daughter of War, Conquest and Flame will Rise!
