About

"Around 1969, Enderle began working with the late Donna Cole (Donna Cole Schulz, 1937-2004). Cole had returned from her studies and 1968 initiation into a British Gardnerian coven that was headed by initiates of Gerald Gardner. Cole and Enderle joined forces and organized a temple that blended Gardnerian Wicca with Western ceremonial magic, the Golden Dawn, and more. Cole was the High Priestess Morda and Enderle Jr. was the High Priest Hermes. After Ginny Brubaker joined the temple in 1971, the group explored The Pagan Way and eventually named themselves “The Chicago Temple of the Pagan Way (ToPW),” with an inner and outer court for initiates, members, and friends."--Demetria Nanos, Chicago, IL
