The All Souls’ Day always takes place when the Sun crosses Scorpio. The same drama repeats itself each year, with Christ-Logos descending into the black waters, and consciousness faces its own reflection in the deep. The Sun that rules the living walks for a time among the dead, and the veil between both worlds grows…
The feast of All Saints points to a hidden unity. Behind the countless faces of sanctity remains a single body, a living organism of light. The saints are its organs and the unknown righteous its invisible breath. On this day the veil between heaven and earth becomes softer and the Corpus Mysticum breathes again through…
Languages do not die. The words uttered in temples and deserts remain suspended in the subtle air, their syllables repeating themselves in the invisible. Each sacred tongue becomes a vessel of vibration; through long use it condenses into a presence, a field of memory. The prayers of the dead stratify the astral atmosphere, forming egregores.…
The soul moves in circles. It descends, forgets, and rises again through the long geometry of time. Every civilisation that looked at death saw this motion turning behind the veil of the world. The wheel repeats itself through Egypt, India, Greece, or the secret heart of Israel, pointing to the same transmigration. Its revolutions are…
The final lines of the Letter to the Romans contain the kiss of peace, the osculum sanctum. In the early assemblies, the faithful would exchange the kiss before the communion of bread and wine. Lips met as the sign that the same breath moved within them. The rite was simple, but its simplicity veiled a…
In the Letter to the Colossians, Paul speaks of a mystery hidden from the ages and now made manifest: Christ in you, the hope of glory (Col. 1:27). I. The Fulfilment of the Body The phrase is literal, as it declares an indwelling presence, a Divine seed that must grow until it takes form in…
All Saints’ Day (1 November) and All Souls’ Day (2 November) form a liturgical diptych, an axis between Heaven and the Christian Underworld. I. A Liturgical Descent Historically, the first liturgical date of November was established in the eighth century as Solemnis Omnium Sanctorum. Pope Gregory III consecrated a chapel in St Peter’s Basilica to…
We are now in the season when the Sun moves through Scorpio. All Souls’ Day, and Dia de Los Muertos all mark the same threshold. Nature begins to withdraw, light fades, the days grow shorter, and roots feed on the fallen leaves. I. The Transformative Water of Scorpio Scorpio is the densest point of water.…
When Christ declares in Matthew 5:17, “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish but to fulfil”, He invokes one of the most profound mysteries of Christian gnosis. The verb πληρῶσαι (plērōsai) means to fill, to make whole, to bring to completion. It…
The Sun has entered the fixed waters of Scorpio, a feminine and nocturnal sign traditionally associated with the eighth house, a shadowed and inactive region of the zodiacal wheel, without pitagoric aspect to the Ascendant. The diurnal and radiant principle is now in an underground spot. After leaving its fall in Libra, the Sun has…
