MEETINGS AND GROUP WORKINGS
OF THE LODGE - 2005
|
December
The Sephiroth and their paths from a Qliphotic perspective,
pt. 1
- We will explore the light-side, ascending there from the
Qliphoth and trying to see what kind of experiences adepts of
the left-hand path can attract in the spheres of light and geometry.
We will start with the Sephiroth Malkuth and Yesod and some
connected Paths.
November
Advanced Demonology, pt. 2
We continue the intensive workings with Goetia started last
month. Only who has already joined the October workings can
undertake this part.
Other appointments:
- Nov., 20: The day of Sekhmet. We again work with the energies
connected to the Lion-Goddess in this feast of hers.
October
Advanced Demonology, pt. 1
- After the introductory goetic workings of last February,
we dig deeper into the demonological mysteries working with
specific Demons connected to the evolution of the lodge. This
will be an interesting but demanding experiment, therefore it
will be restricted to initiates or very motivated initiands
from the 1.0° Lilith.
Other appointments:
- Oct., 17: The feast of Sekhmet. According to the Egyptian
initiatory calendar, this was one of the days dedicated to the
celebration of Sekhmet, fiery Goddess of might and sex. We celebrate
her with a Draconian ceremony.
September
The Path of
the Warrior: the Mysticism of the Inner War.
- The left-hand path is a path of continuous inner warfare.
Therefore we will devote this month to practices of spiritual
and initiatory war and might in different traditions, among
which the Italic and the Tantric ones. These workings are performed
to equilibrate and transmute the primal instincts of war, anger,
power and strife into pivotal elements of the Draconian path.
Other appointments:
Sep., 22: The Autumn Equinox
April
Dark Mediterranean cults. The Hellenic-Italic approach to witchcraft.
- We'll explore the dark forces of the multiple magical currents
that, through the last millennia, crossed on the Mediterranean
sea: the Hellenic cults of Hecate, Pan and Typhon, Etruscan
and Roman witchcraft, Egyptian widsom. We'll especially concentrate
- through ritual and astral workings - on the tangible energies
present in the Italian area: the Aetna volcano (the mythological
tomb of Typhon), the Vesuvio volcano (the place where the battle
among Typhon and the Olympic Gods took place; resting place
of dark spirits), the Etruscan necropolises, and some other
power places. We strive forth to the unleashing (and re-awakening)
of the Draconian currents in the Mediterranen.
March
Qliphothic pathworkings. Qabalistic and Egyptian ways.
- The Lodge goes on with its exploration of the Qliphoth and
their forces. We will work (in different degrees) with the triad
Lilith-Thantifaxath-Gamaliel, preparing for the descent in Shalicu.
We'll compare the Qabalistic mapping of the inverse worlds with
the Egyptian one.
Other appointments:
- Mar., 1 and 2: The Coming Forth of Khephra and Seth. According
to the Egyptian Magical calendar, the night of the 1st of March
is the moment of the Coming Forth of Khephra - the principle
of alchemical evolution, while the night of the 2nd is when
Seth comes forth. The Lodge celebrates the scarab of self-deification
and the great dark god with two specific rituals, channelled
through sigils worked out by our members and using rituals developed
inside Dragon Rouge.
- Mar., 20: The Feast of Sexual Fertility. We celebrate the
Egyptian day of ritual fertility.
- Mar., 21: The Vernal Equinox.
February
An introduction to Demonology. Goetic workings.
- We'll approach Goetia and examine the different ways of working
with the Archdemons, exploring the relations among them, the
different Qliphoth and the 11 steps of Draconian initiation,
in theory and practice.
Other appointments:
- Feb., 5: The birth of Apep. According to the Egyptian tradition
this is the day of the birth of the black serpent/dragon Apep.
We invite all Lodges and RGs to perform with us a grand celebration
of this Draconian principle.
January
The Great Beast of the Sea. A dreamworking.
Starting from January 2005, Lodge Sothis starts a new course.
Instead than monthly meetings of several days (and simultaneous
workings in between) as performed until now, we will hold weekly
meetings, every Tuesday. Each month will be dedicated to a specific
subject (belonging to our projects). Apart the Tuesday meetings
we'll also organise weekend meetings, simultaneous workings
and special magical meetings for festivites, celebrations of
the Egyptian magical calendar, magically charged moments etc.
All Lodges and Ritual Groups are invited to contact us and to
partecipate to our workings.
- Lodge Sothis, Lodge Magan and the Ritual Group Uppsala will
undertake a 30-days dreamworking dedicated to Leviathan/Tiamat
and the powers of the sea. Every night in this time-span will
be consecrated to the astral work. Furthermore, the dreamside
will be strenghtened through a regular ritual work.
Other appointments:
- Jan., 20: Anubis goes forth. We celebrate the traditional
Coming Forth of Anubis in the Egyptian tradition.
