Within the Temples of Atlantis

atlantis

This is a weekend residential workshop running from 6pm Thursday evening until 5pm Sunday evening. Those attending will be robed at all times and their entire days will be spent living and working, as far as is possible, in an atmosphere such as would have prevailed in ancient Atlantis.

We cannot know for certain what was practised and how, but competent psychics have recovered many aspects of the ancient ways of Sun and Moon worship. Gathered together in this workshop are many of those fragments of knowledge. The ancient rhythm of night and day, sunrise and moonrise, male and female, form and force are observed and used in ritual and meditation.

Every day will begin with the worship of the rising sun. In Atlantis this would have been the prerogative of the Solar Priesthood of the Temple of Helios. The men rise to greet the Sun and the power of their Sun Worship runs at its peak until Sunset. After this the women of the Lunar Priestesshood of the Temple of Naradek welcome the coming of the ‘dark sun’ and take over the rulership with the rising of the Moon that is continued until the moment before Dawn.

Sun and Moon disks are placed under the rays of their respective orbs for power charging. We will work with two full priesthood complements, and with the times and method of worship divided equally between them. With dawn and morning worship allocated to the Sun, and the Evening and Midnight worship offered to the Moon.

What You will Gain From Attending This Training – Living “As If”

We have structured this workshop so that you will live and work as a member of the Priesthood of Atlantis. We request that you take this very seriously, and behave as you would see fit for an initiated Atlantean 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 Atlantean Religion.

What You Will Need

Ladies, please bring with you black robes, soft slippers, silver cords and a piece of soft black veiling to cover the head and face. Gentlemen, white robes, slippers and gold cords. You may also want to bring a wrap or cloak in the appropriate colour (black or white) in case it gets cool in the evenings. Jewellery if worn at all should be silver. All masks, headdresses lamens, staffs, sceptres, and temple accoutrements will be provided.

However if you would like to bring an offering, a bottle of wine for the high rituals, or a couple of candles (dark blue, or silver for Naradek, Gold or White for Helios) this would be very acceptable. During the morning and afternoon there will be teaching periods, times for meditation and quiet personal reflection.
