TempleFest welcomes Aidan Wachter as a Featured Presenter!
Aidan Wachter is an animist magician/witch-thing. They believe that magic is a natural part of the human experience and one that, when ignored, can lead to pathological states both in the individual and the societies they are part of.
Their focus is on working with allied spirit ecologies and what they call the Old Lines: the blood and spirit ancestors that sit well behind those ‘known’ to us and that run back to points long before the rise of homo sapiens. They are the author of “Six Ways: Approaches & Entries for Practical Magic,” “Weaving Fate: Hypersigils, Changing the Past, & Telling True Lies,” and “Changeling: A Book of Qualities.” “Spirit & Stone: Animism and the Old Lines” will be published in 2026.
TempleFest is Sept. 4-7 at Pringle Pond in Charlton, Massachusetts. This four-day retreat hosted by the Temple of Witchcraft focuses on community, ritual, and learning.
