The 11th Night – January 3
We honor Taurus, the bull horns act as spiritual receivers, grounding into Divine Speech. The Virtue to take into the New Year is Balance within the Soul, Body, and Spirit. Balancing inner life with outer work leading to forward progress. We contemplate the great love in the Cosmos, God for us, and our love and devotion to God.The color of the candle we light tonight is Orange. We remember the month of February.
With Love we turn to the Cosmic Beings in the realm of Taurus,
Bearers of the power of the Word.
Bestowing the gift of speech, and capacity for hearing.
We receive from you the great teaching that
Inner balance of soul leads to world attunement,
Manifesting in progress on the spiritual path.
Holy Spirit, who is the fire of love streaming forth from the Fountainhead of Creation – Let us receive you. Through you, may we grow from receiving to giving, serving the fulfillment of Love on the Earth.

The 12th Night – January 4
We honor the realm of Aires, and our capacity to be upright, the image of the lamb. Virtue is devotion leading to selfless service. Lamb of God, the contemplation of the Christ being, mature enough to bring the Light of true Spirit to Earth.We light the Red candle and remember the Divine Mother, Sophia.
With Love we turn to the Cosmic Beings in the realm of Aries,
Who instill uprightness and the power of thinking,
Pouring forth the fountain of Divine Love.
We receive from you the great teaching that
Devotion leads to the power of self-sacrifice, serving human evolution.
Christ, Spirit of Eternal Love, bearer of the evolution of the Earth and humanity – abide in us, that we, through Thee, may serve the fulfillment of Earth evolution.

Epiphany – January 5
We regard the Unity of all Life and all 12 Virtues, the hierarchy of the transcendent Father/Mother God; the ascending stage for world evolution of consciousness. Also Three Kings Day bringing spiritual gifts of wealth, royalty and devotion to God. We light a Gold Candle and remember the entire year of 2013, blessing all that we learned and all that we received.With Love we turn to the Eternal Being Who crowns the heavens with stars, Whose infinite Love streams through the cosmos, bearing the divine essence of creation,
Through the expanse of space, into the core of the Earth, and the depths of our inner being.
Transcendent and Immanent One, Seed and Source of the Universe – guide us that we may serve Thy will.

As we honor our lives, and our New Year of 2015, we create a new place of sanctity within us.
May all beings be blessed with Peace within their Hearts. May the Earth
be honored this year in a new way that brings forth respect and
harmony. May we honor the Light within each other and bring more Divine
Light to the Earth through our beings. And so it is.Shanta Gabriel
