Happy Sol Invictus 
Dies Natalis Solis Invictis
December 25th 
The "birthday of the unconquered sun", 
following its descent into darkness

"Gold within gold, light within light, life within life the glory of the Sol Invictus shines upon us all."

The festival of Dies Natalis Solis Invictis following the Winter Solstice–the transition from darkness into light–reflects the mysteries of existence, shared metaphors of death and transformation, and the awakening of the divine spark that lies within every individual—a divine, immortal and eternal light that yearns to shine forth in the world.

The visible world serves as a mere reflection of deeper realities that lie beneath the surface. There are two suns: The visible Sun, a celestial body that governs our days, that is the source of all heat and life on Earth, and the invisible Sun, the guiding light of consciousness and enlightenment. 

The ancients revered the sun not just as a source of physical sustenance, but as a symbol of Spirit, the true essence of self and a "spark of light."  This inner light, often referred to as the "God within," embodies the light of consciousness and serves as a bridge that connects mortals to the divine. Only those who have unlocked their spiritual senses can perceive this inner light.

They worshipped the sun as a the Giver of Life, believing that on December 21, when “the sun stood still,” it had succumbed to symbolic death, plunging the Earth into darkness. For three days, the sun remained in a standstill, on December 25, the sun began to ascend, heralding its rebirth—the triumph of light over darkness. This rebirth was celebrated as the return of the "Light of the World".

"The day which is the birthday of the Invincible Sun is the twenty-fifth of December, when the light begins to increase, and to a greater degree than at any other time." – Seneca 

This gave rise to the worship of various solar deities across ancient religions, each mirroring the myths of death and resurrection that paralleled the sun’s cycle. The fusion of solar cults and the influence of Eastern religions led to the worship of the syncretic deity Sol Invictus and the celebration of Dies Natalis Invicti Solis on this significant date. 

Sol Invictus was a title used for multiple deities in the Roman Empire, including Sol, Mithras, and El-Gabal. Each personified the solar disk, reflecting the illumination of the internal sun.

Mithra, the Persian solar god of light, truth and oath, was born on the 25th December. He was revered as a Saviour, a bestower of immortality, and a “Bull-killer”, symbolizing the triumph of light over darkness. The Greek counterpart Helios, and the Egyptian sun god, Horus born on Dec 25th, and  Jesus as the "Sun/Son of God," the "Light of the World," born on this date is also a solar deity and symbolizing "the seat of immortality". Christ, Mithra and Horus are the esoteric Saviours and Divine Principles in every human being. The convergence of deities on December 25th highlights the spiritual archetypes of significant solar symbolism.

The teachings of these solar deities are insights into secret rites of the initiation process—alchemical transmutation of consciousness from the darkness of the flesh into the illuminating light of spirit. It signifies a deep spiritual quest, mirroring the cyclical nature of existence and where darkness yields to light.

December 25th not only honors the sun as a celestial body but calls upon us to awaken the divine spark that resides within, to let it shine forth in the world. It's a sacred reminder of the birth of the Light/Christ within you, representing the very essence of our being, our connection to the divine and where spirit unites with matter. The essence of all things is rooted in the unseen.

The Feminine Descent: A Gnosis of Flesh and Feeling

  The feminines descent is not a fall, it's a return. It is the initiation of full body surrender. It is the ancient rite of dissolving into the Mystery.  Her capacity to feel is not weakness, it is her divine design. The world has long sought to weaponize her sensitivity against her, twisting her depth into burden and shaming her for what was always her greatest gift. True feminine feeling is depth perception. It is life force moving through her body. It is an instrument of gnosis.  She is magnetism drawn into the depths, into the dark void, the womb, into the soil of the earth, and into the primordial pulse of the cosmos. Her feeling is a bridge between worlds, where the mystical and the mundane converge. She receives, absorbs, and translates the invisible currents of existence. Her body is an oracle. It speaks in tides, pulses and rhythms too deep for words.  It sings of ancient memory, Truth too holy for doctrine and dogma. Feeling is her compass. Sensation is he...

The Anima Mundi: The Living Bridge Between Worlds

  The Anima Mundi, the World Soul, serves as the bridge between realms. It's the central axis between the heavens, earth, and the underworld, and symbolizes the connection between the material and spiritual worlds. To attune to the Anima Mundi is to awaken to the sacred in all things—to perceive the spirit moving through rivers, stones, stars, and the breath of every living being. It is to recognize that the universe is not a fragmented, mechanical construct but an intelligent force vibrating with the essence of a singular divine presence. Ancient traditions understood the Anima Mundi as the very soul of the cosmos, much like the human soul animates the body. Plato spoke of it as the divine intelligence that orders and harmonizes existence, an eternal presence infusing all beings with life. The Stoics described it as an all-pervading pneuma, a breath-like essence sustaining the natural world, while Hermeticists saw it as the intermediary between spirit and matter, a cosmic intellig...

The Great Divide: Navigating the Ascending and Descending Timeline Split

  The planetary shift is simultaneously ascending and descending, disrupting the morphogenic structure, and reshaping timelines. The lower and higher timelines are drastically intensifying and pulling further apart in polarity extremes. The explusion of the Trickster archetype into the collective grid has caused the Veil to tremble, escalating the spiritual battle between light and dark, and intensifying the relentless war on consciousness. This upheaval has triggered a psychic contagion, plunging the world into a collective psychosis that feeds on division and the fragmentation of reality. It drives humanity into conflict with itself.  Pandora’s box has been opened. The shadow of human ignorance and separation is staring back at us virtually everywhere, locked in a battle with itself. It's uprooting the deepest shadows of the human condition of both dark and light projections into the collective at an unprecedented scale that will only increase in the coming days.  The T...
