Atral Temple Work
What Is Astral Temple Work?
Astral temple work is the practice of creating and using a non-physical sacred space within the astral plane—a dimension of consciousness beyond the physical and mental realms—for spiritual development, ritual work, healing, communion, and co-creation. It’s a core practice in many mystical, esoteric, and magical traditions, including Hermeticism, Thelema, modern witchcraft, and Fourth-Level spiritual exploration.
An astral temple is a personal or shared energetic sanctuary built through focused intention and visualization. It exists in the astral realm—a subtle dimension accessible through meditation, dreamwork, or astral projection—and serves as a stable inner space for ritual, exploration, and connection.
