December 30 – 7th Night
On this night we honor Virgo, the protector of
growth, harvest, where our spiritual nourishment is digested. Throughout
these nights we are digesting the year we are completing and nourishing
our way forward. The Virtue is Courtesy, Reverence, an Honoring leading to tactfulness of the heart, so that all we say is communicated with Love. We recognize and offer gratitude to the spiritual beings – The Kyriotetes, the spirits of Wisdom bringing forth Divine Order and perfection, the Matrix within all things.
The color of the candle we light is Indigo saying the following prayer. We remember the month of June.
With love we turn to the Cosmic Beings in the realm of Virgo,
Illumining the meaning and dignity of courtesy,
Bestowing maturity, sobriety, and understanding.
We receive from you the great teaching that
True courtesy ennobles actions into heartfelt tactfulness.
Kyriotetes, Spirits of Wisdom, imbuing all things with meaning, you who brought humankind the sun-gift of the life body; whose dominion lies in the pure working of God’s will. Let us behold you.

Becomes a path to freedom.
Thrones, Spirits of Divine Will, who poured out your own fire to be the substance of Saturn, and that sacrifice became creator gods, let us behold you.
