Christmas Greetings from B.C

We are well on the way towards the Christ Mass Season and the ever beautiful energy is growing around us as we pass through the Solstice. Sitting quietly in meditation one must feel the Ancients gathering around the earth to share in our celebrations.  So many cultures and beliefs come together in this Season of Light to send out blessings to the world.   Here in B.C we are coming together in our Christmas Services and celebrations to link with the work everywhere.

White Eagle tells us that Christmas is not a festival of Christianity alone; Christmas, or the Festival of the return of the Sun in the heavens, was instituted by the Wise Men, the great teachers or Gods who came to this earth planet countless ages ago. Since then over many ages mankind has found many ways to recognize this special time of year.

The greatest Christmas gift given to mankind of course is the gift of the coming of the Light, the birth of the Christ Child in the manger of the heart.  A modern day Christmas song says that ‘Mary wrapped her baby in swaddling clothes and gave a present to the world’.

At Christmas time our ancient brotherhoods in their magnificent ceremonies paced the great temples of stones, and at the moment when the sun appeared above the horizon, the worshippers bowed their heads and stretched forth their arms to welcome with homage the reappearance of their Life –giver. We of this modern day have yet to learn the significance and the grandeur of such ceremonies, of how powerful the reception of the life force into the body, soul and spirit can be at such a time. As we join together in our chain on Christmas Day let us rise above the earthly activities and noise to send out this Gift to the world. Let the Light Shine.

A very merry and blessed Christmas to all.
