Tenders of the Earth Temple, ASW

Tenders of the Earth Temple is a Wiccan coven based in the beliefs and techniques of Traditional Wicca and the larger Western Magical Tradition of which we are part. We are the Pentacle Coven in the Circle of Capricorn, of the Assembly of the Sacred Wheel (ASW), a 501c3 religious organization dedicated to the Wiccan path and has covens that currently span PA, DE, and MD. Our coven was founded in the Mt. Airy Section of Philadelphia in July 2011 and is the ninth ASW coven We believe in sharing what we know without pacts of secrecy, obscurity, or separation and often offer open rituals and workshops to the community. Our Upcoming Events are listed elsewhere on this site. We are willing to provide workshops by request and we love to hear about what others are offering. While we are committed to a Wiccan path, we also feel that it is very important to experience and trade information with other Traditions, Churches, Lodges, etc. There is much we can teach each other.

Though High Priest Bob Bruhin of Philadelphia’s Tenders of the Earth Temple sticks to certain frameworks when designing a ritual, much of it is about what feels right. The coven will always have a god or goddess to invoke, but the rest of the ritual is thoughtfully designed in the weeks leading up to Ostara, Bruhin said.

Book Study - Astrology: Using the Wisdom of the Stars in Your Everyday Life Tickets, Multiple Dates | Eventbrite

We will be discussing Astrology: Using the Wisdom of the Stars in Your Everyday Life by Carole Taylor.

“How to use your astrological sign’s birth horoscope to transform every area of your life. “Learn how to interpret the positions of the zodiac signs, sun, moon and other planets to better understand yourself and your place in the world around you. “The book outlines the key principles of astrology and pinpoints ways you can use it as a form of self-help. This ancient art can help you improve many different areas of your life–from your personal and professional relationships to your health, wealth, and well-being.”

We will also be referring to The Only Way to Learn Astrology: Basic Principles by Marion D. March and Joan McEvers.

‘This new publication of a highly popular classic lives up to its title in presenting very clear instructions for how to learn astrology. As the first volume of a six volume series, this book teaches “Basic Principles” in a proven critically acclaimed method. Part 1 explains the symbolism of signs, planets, houses and aspects. Part 2 provides detailed delineation of each of the planets by sign, house placement and aspect, with thorough examples and then quizzes that allow the reader to self-test. Throughout, March and McEvers encourage their readers to “think like an astrologer.”‘
