[PLEASE NOTE THE START TIME TO CONVOCATION HAS BEEN MOVED TO 2 PM]

We’ll have a basic orientation to the operation, rituals and symbols of the pronaos (your local AMORC group). We will also go over the basic teachings in the First Neophyte Degree. This is very important, as the entire course of study is outlined in basic form, throughout the Neophyte degrees.  THIS IS A GREAT EVENT FOR NEW MEMBERS and members who need a REFRESHER. Then we will conduct pronaos initiations for those who have requested it. Anyone requesting a Pronaos Initiation must be in good standing with the Rosicrucian Order, have attended at least 3 convocations and intend to be in regular attendance. Please contact me, Grand Councillor, at nwamorc.donohue@gmail.com

How do Initiations work at Home, Pronaoi, Chapters, and Lodges?

We are conducting Pronaos Initiations this month on October 13. You should take the intitation at the pronaos level if you have not already. Read more HERE.

Recently a Frater asked ESP Master Anjala about the difference in the home initiations and initiations given in Pronaoi (the plural word for Pronaos), Chapters and Lodges. The Master replied that home initiations are vital and should be performed with intensity and excellence when a member is ascending from one degree of study to another. But!

 

There are two other types of initiations available to those who are fortunate to live near affiliated bodies. Enneadic Star Pronaos meets twice a month, in Portland and in Wilsonville, so that we can be close to as many members as possible. That said, members do often travel great distances to attend convocations. On her recent Rosicrucian Tour of Sacred Italy, Master Anjala met three members who drove four hours to attend their Chapter meetings. Another member talked about traveling to a distant town and staying overnight so that she could participate in regular Pronaos meetings. Lastly, a Master at another Lodge said they drove drives 40 miles each way to get to their convocation locations.

For those of you who might be interested, here are some email excerpts from Master Anjala’s recent Rosicrucian tour of Sacred Italy. This was a three- week trip sponsored by AMORC that was attended by dozens and dozens of Rosicrucians.  (AMORC sponsors tours in different mystical places throughout the world. Next year’s tour to Egypt (and maybe Morocco?) will be in August and people are already signing up.) 

Enjoy!

August 19

I’ve been on a Rosicrucian tour of Sacred Italy since August 9th. Since then I’ve traveled to Assisi, Tivoli, Rome, Assisi again, Venice, Florence, and today I’m in Napoli (aka Naples).  So Many Misadventures!  So Many Pasta meals!  So Many Macedon deserts (read fruit salad, usually with cocomele (watermelon) naranja (orange, sometimes blood orange), kiwi, pineapple, and apple.  Variations on that theme.  So many sights! Macedonia was a Balkan country conquered by the Romans (Italians) in the 2nd century BC, and somehow the country name for fruit salad persists centuries later.)

“At this workshop, you will be trained in the use of the REBALANCING EXERCISE!” stated ESP’s current Master, Soror Anjala. “This exercise isn’t usually shared until you have been a member for many years.  This exercise has many powerful uses.  One Rosicrucian woman used it for a few weeks and totally eliminated a bothersome caffeine addiction.  So this practical physical technique will be shared, along with other more esoteric (hidden) techniques.”

Improve your Rosicrucian Skills: Take the Convocation Challenge!

On By Oregon AMORCIn Creating a New Chapter, mysticism, NewsLeave a comment

rosicrucian-egyptian-museum-Rosicrucian-Park-1080x810We challenge you to attend six Enneadic Star Pronaos Convocations and events each year. Sign up now via Meetup and plan for it. We can help.

This year we’ve had several great events that have moved us toward our three-year goal of growing our Pronaos into a Chapter.  As you may know, that goal means that we need to consistently have at least three Convocations and events a year that attract 30 AMORC members or more. 

Once we have achieved that goal, we will be able to better serve, initiate, and educate you, the members.  There will be fancier rituals, class review forums, events for children of members, and other resources. Attending Convocation is the fastest way to advance in your studies and get results with experiments. The more members who attend, the stronger the rituals and experiments are. With over 300 members in the Pacific Northwest, that seems achievable.  [If you live in the Seattle area, please attend Michael Maier Pronaos events and Convocations].

Attending convocation will also earn you discounts and other benefits, for example, if you have attended Convocation this year, you will get 20% off on the upcoming Spiritual Alchemy workshop this November.
