Draft:Temple of the Nightshadow

The Temple of the Nightshadow is a syncretic pagan temple based in Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA. While physically based in Colorado, the temple's reach is much farther than that, with some members and students hailing from locations as far away as the east coast and even outside of the US, including England, Spain, and Switzerland. It was created by three friends who sought to correct some of the exclusionary practices within the pagan communities that they had each experienced, including but not limited to racism, homophobia and transphobia. These three, who would later become known as the temple's Leadership, have created a space that not only includes those marginalized groups, but celebrates them and the uniqueness they bring to the community.

Mission
The Temple of the Nightshadow is a vibrant and inclusive community that celebrates the diverse and unique paths of each individual seeker. The temple provides a welcoming space for those who wish to explore and honor their personal spiritual journeys while embracing the interconnectedness of various pagan traditions.

At the Temple of the Nightshadow, they recognize and celebrate the beauty of individuality, encouraging each member to express themselves authentically and to explore their own spiritual path with openness and curiosity. They honor the richness of diverse belief systems and rituals, and come together to learn from one another, support one another, and co-create a tapestry of spiritual practices that reflect the beautiful mosaic of our community.

Through rituals, workshops, and communal gatherings, they endeavor to foster an atmosphere of respect, acceptance, and empowerment, allowing each individual to connect deeply with their own spirituality while contributing to the collective tapestry of our temple. Whether you resonate with multiple pagan traditions, are forging your own unique path, or are simply seeking a community that values your individuality, the Temple of the Nightshadow is a sanctuary where all are honored and welcomed.
