Within the Temple of Anubis
An Egyptian Magical Intensive with Dolores Ashcroft-Nowicki

6^th – 8^th July, 2007
Oxon Hoath, Kent, U.K.

Within the Temple of Anubis

Anubis is one of the oldest God forms of Ancient Egypt. As Uapuat he was worshipped as the Guardian of the Primal Mound. Later eras saw him as the first-born son of Osiris by his sister Nephthys, given over to Osiris’ sister-wife Isis to whom she taught all her magic.

Anubis was known by many titles: The Opener of the Ways, The Walker Between the Worlds, The Steersman of the Boat of Millions of Years and the Weigher of Hearts in the Halls of Amenti.

In these modern times of turmoil and change and a growing desire by people to find their own way spiritually rather than in the traditional “Exoteric” religions, Anubis is a powerful and appropriate archetype. Indeed, the Ancient Egyptian religion places a strong emphasis on the notion of personal responsibility, that salvation is purely personal and requires that everyone should learn how to survive on their own. The Egyptian view is that no one can redeem the sins of others. As the world moves from the Age of Pisces and into the Age of Aquarius it seems that the ancient teachings of the Egyptian religion are just as appropriate today as they were four thousand years ago.

In this workshop we live work, worship and learn as they did in ancient Egypt. You will need both black and white robes together with sandals or slippers.  The day begins, as every Temple in Egypt began, with the Morning Ritual, the Worship of Anubis.  This is the same each day, and one person is selected to represent the Jackal Headed God for that day.

The ritual ends with the procession of the sacred statue and the Hymn to Anubis. This is followed by the daily tasks of preparing the Temple, training sessions and time for personal reflection.

What You will Gain From Attending This Training

Each student will receive a detailed training manual containing background information, lecture notes, rituals and a comprehensive bibliography.

You will understand:

• Why an Egyptian temple is set up the way it is
• How the energy flows through the temple and the participants to assist in “The Great Work.”
• The structure and members of the Egyptian Pantheon, their traits and symbolism
• How to perform the “Assumption of the Godform” technique and use this vitally important tool in ritual
• The symbolism and use of  temple artefacts

Living “As If”

We have structured this workshop so that you will live and work as a member of the Priesthood of Anubis. We request that you take this very seriously, and behave as you would see fit for an initiated Egyptian Priest or Priestess. We strongly believe that acting “As if” creates a different reality and enables us to really connect into the energy patterns and archetypes of the Egyptian Religion. We ask that you bring with you at least two black robes as you will be spending the entire workshop robed.
