Improve your Rosicrucian Skills: Take the Convocation Challenge!

On July 31, 2019September 3, 2019 By Oregon AMORCIn Creating a New Chapter, mysticism, NewsLeave a comment

We 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.

Still room in the AMORC mystical tour of Rome

Our Master and Archivist are traveling to the International Rosicrucian Convention in Rome this August. But some of the members on the convention trip have canceled on the spots on the Rosicrucian Tour of the Mystical History of Rome. That means there are a few openings. If you have the means and that time, you can register for the tour here.

Visualize What You Can Do to Grow the Portland and Seattle Pronaoi

On July 8, 2019July 8, 2019 By Oregon AMORCIn Core Teachings, Creating a New Chapter, News, Visualization SeriesLeave a comment

B8AXB8 This is a visualization exercise for Rosicrucians in the Pacific Northwest Rosicrucian that will help us grow our groups in Portland and Seattle from a Pronaoi (a mid-sized group with four ritual officer positions) to a Chapter (a large group with nine ritual officer positions). Our goal for this Rosicrucian year 3372 is to rebuild the two pronaoi into larger entities in a way that will benefit all people. The more people who visualize this, the faster it will happen.

Visualization is not just dreaming. It is a tool that can dramatically assist your own efforts toward achievement.

Master Anjala’s Rosicrucian Tour of Egypt [Part 1]

On June 17, 2019June 26, 2019 By Oregon AMORCIn Member submissions, NewsLeave a comment

The following was written by Enneadic Star Pronaos Master Anajala about her recent trip to Egypt sponsored by and organized by the Grand Lodge.

As a member or non-member, the Rosicrucian tours offer insights into spiritual locations with practical lessons. Inspired by our Grand Councilor who told my husband and me that if ever we could make the trip, the Rosicrucian tour of Egypt was astounding, and we should go, so, we listened to her. My husband passed through transition before the next trip, but I went on the next tour.

Things you should know first: The Rosicrucian Order has been leading member tours to Egypt since the 1930’s, and there are photos of members riding to the sites on camelback. The Order sponsored Egyptian archeological digs and has established excellent relations with leading archeologists. Because of this, our tour took us to a couple of sites that are off-limits to casual tourists. And last but not least, the reason these sites are still standing is that, historically, Egypt got 1.5 inches of rain, A YEAR! I share this with you because, while we were there, it rained for five days. These magnificent monuments are slowly melting as the climate changes. Go there sooner rather than later.

Rosicrucians, Ciphers and Francis Bacon the real author of Shakespeare’s Works?

On May 13, 2019February 1, 2020 By Oregon AMORCIn Member submissions, News3 Comments

Rosicrucians have long held up in Sir Francis Bacon as one of their historical leaders. Many Rosicrucians have also explored the idea that Bacon promoted the ideas of the enlightenment to the world as the secret author of the works of William Shakespeare. The notion that Bacon was behind Shakespeare’s writing is strongly supported by modern cipher sleuthing, including my own.

Screen Shot 2019-05-13 at 1.52.12 PM — Portraits of Francis Bacon (left) and William Shakespeare (right). Were they one in the same?

This topic has been one of my longtime hobbies. I’ve written about it extensively on internet forums as well as my own Shakespeare Authorship blog. Much of what I’ve written on the cryptographic evidence is based on my own original research.

I am also a long time Rosicrucian and member of Enneadic Star Pronaos.
