The lunar calendar holds great significance for the Temple of the Old Ones, guiding us through our practices and rituals. Each phase of the moon offers a unique opportunity to deepen our connection with the Old Ones and to enhance our personal and communal Ascension.
In our Cultist course found within the Miskatonic University, we suggest beginning and ending the Initiation Ritual on a New Moon. Embrace these lunar phases to set your intentions, or to reflect on your progress as a Cultist of the Temple.
