Track Friday 2019: Temple Barn Renovation

The Temple of Witchcraft is continuing to raise funds for its Community Center Barn Restoration.  This multi-year project to restore and modernize the barn to create a separate community center with dedicated ritual space will take place in several phases.  With much of the planning accomplished in 2019, the Temple hopes to begin the actual construction in 2020.  To satisfy occupancy codes, we will need to install water pipes, sewer lines, heat/air conditioning, and a chair lift, as well as expand the parking lot area based on a per person occupancy rate.

When obtaining our current property, the Temple was required by the town to construct a full parking lot with industrial lights and full hard wired fire alarm system to officially open two rooms of the residence as teaching, ritual and office space. We successfully raised the needed funds in a very short time.

Our next goal was to then restore and modernize the barn to create a separate community center with dedicated ritual space.  The process took longer than expected, but thanks to our generous donors, we secured funds for an engineer and architect to design the interior and site plan to submit to the Town of Salem.  

We are gearing up for the next phase of raising the funds to start the renovation itself. It's a long term project but we are confident in our community goals that will outlive us all and serve the community for time to come.

The Temple of Witchcraft offers so much to people in the community by hosting such drives as for the homeless, for food, and for animal shelters, as well as donating to emergent causes such as when natural disasters or personal tragedies occur.

The work of the Temple is meant to strengthen the connections between spirit and matter through inner transformation and public service. For more information about the Temple of Witchcraft's ministries and community work please visit:www.templeofwitchcraft.org.  Thank you so much for your support.
