Grollwynn

 

My name is Christopher Temple, a.k.a. Grollwynn. I am a happily married, father of a beautiful daughter. In September of 1993 I dedicated myself to the service of the Earth Mother and the Kindred and have been happily, gratefully so for over fourteen years. Since that time I have been the High Priest of a Wiccan Coven and the co-editor of a Pagan publication (C.O.L.L. of the Goddess). I sat on the Executive Council of the Alternative Religions Educational Network (formerly known as Witches Anti-Discrimination League) as Northwestern PA Director, Director Liaison, and Regional Director. I was also an assistant reviewer for Llewellyn publications.

 

I earned my Associate Degree in Medical Transcription, Medical Coding, Parapsychology and Astrology, and Microsoft Office User Specialist. (Yeah… I’m a geek…) For over twenty years I have studied the Tarot and have read professionally.

 

In November of 2005 I joined ADF and Whispering Lake Grove after having given careful consideration to leaving the comfort of solitary worship. This is a decision that I have not regretted for a single moment. Since that time I completed the Dedicant Program and the First Circle of our Grove’s Officiate Training Program. At the 2006 Samhain rite I took my Oath of Office as the Grove’s Assistant Senior Druid.

 

My interests include hiking, landscaping, reading and occasionally being wiped out by certain water Kindred. My intention for the future is to finish the Second and Third Circles of the Whispering Lake Grove Officiates Training Program, entering into a Bardic Apprenticeship, and to eventually enter ADF’s Clergy Training Program.
