Reading Makes Me Write Poncy Things

I'm reading a book called The Cloud Upon The Sanctuary by Karl von Eckartshausen, who was a christian mystic in the 17th century. He wrote this "prayer for Alchemists" too, that, I think anyway, is really rather beautiful: Hail, pure self-moving Source, O form,pure for receiving the Light! The Light ofall things unites itself with thee alone.Most blessed art thou amoung all receptiveforms, and blessed is the Fruit that thouconceivest, the Essence of Light unitedwith warm substance.Pure Form, Mother of the most perfectBeing, lift thyself up to the Light for us,now as we toil and in the hour when wecomplete the Work! Well I thought it was cool anyway, and it beats watching Eastenders!

Gnostic Mass

On Saturday I went to my second Gnostic Mass at Ameth Lodge. It was great, I was looking forward to it more now that I knew more about the mass than the first time I went and had put some more study into it and got hold of a copy of Mystery of Mystery the red flame journal all about the mass. I don't think I could compare the two masses I've been to with each other. They had their own feel to them and I wonder if every mass will be like that. This one seemed very romantic and sensual, probably because the Priest has this wonderful Spanish (I think) accent and the Priestess had a rich Irish one.Before the mass they ordained the Deacon (Congratulations!), and that was really cool to have seen. At one point she made a swift movement at the veiled altar and shouted something in greek which was really powerful to have watched. (Actually it may have been during the Baptism, I am unsure)Then afterwords myself and two others were baptized into the EGC. The ritual of the baptism can be found Here if you want to read it. I think the baptism is summed up perfectly on that website where it says: "baptism represents a symbolic birth into the Thelemic community", and that's exactly what it was.Big thanks to those who sponsored me. I didn't choke on the cake of light this time! Haha! But I did get awful stage fright.Everyone was really nice, and I'm very pleased to have joined a community of such cool people.So how cool is that - At the start of October last year I stated I wanted to do something, and now it has happened!That is all I have to say really, I look forward to the next one.
