Shrine of Turas Witan Shrine ![]() |
The name TURAS means ‘journey’, ‘pilgrimage’ and ‘time’ refers especially to the circular, spiraling prayer and meditation form used by people in the Celtic countries as they walked sunwise around a sacred site. The walking of this spiraling prayer is sunwise, left to right, clockwise in the Northern hemisphere (Note- In the southern hemisphere, sacred motion is counterclockwise – tuathal). The process of spiraling builds power, strengthens intention, and brings us into attunement with our souls thread. Rev. Wendy teaches the 1st Degree of Correllian wicca classes in real time for those without internet access The Shrine of Turas also provide Sabbat and Esbat Rituals for Shrine members and the local community For more information on the Shrine of Turas courses, Sabbats and Esbats please contact Lady Wendy Left: Rev.
