Ceremony of the Capricorn Solstice

Festival of St. John the Beloved ~ ¾¾»

This ceremony completes the cycle of the Cardinal Cross and marks that point of opportunity when again “the sun moves northwards,” which is an esoteric phrase denoting “preparation for initiation.”  This ceremony pertains to some of the deepest mysteries of life and death and of a glorious resurrection; of immortality and of the nature of identification with the One Life and with Reality Itself.  It therefore invokes a liberating energy.  That liberating energy is Love itself.  In its simple form it is prophetic in nature.  It invokes a combination of first and second ray energies and its significance derives from the deeper esoteric aspects of the teaching that the Christ inaugurated 2,000 years ago (but which was little understood) and which He will continue and reveal further upon His Reappearance.  This Teaching—which will be a new Dispensation issued forth from the Spiritual Hierarchy, the Grand Lodge on High of which the Christ is the Grand Master—and the coming revelation that the Christ will bring is related to the mysteries of the spiritual will, of resurrection, initiation, and of liberation.
