In 1617, Michael Maier’s Symbola Aureae Mensae was published with the frontispiece illustration known as Maria Prophetissa. In this illustration, Maria Prophetissa, who may also be known as the Maria of the Gnostic tradition, draws our attention to the alchemical process which appears to be coming to fruition before our eyes. This illustration is robust with alchemical symbolism. For this December’s online discussion group, we will read from an article that examines the symbolism found here in greater detail and learn some of what Maria seeks to impart to us. – Frater Ken, Online Discussion Host

Please join us for our joyous end of the year winter solstice ceremony. All are welcome to this public ritual.
Parading solemnly with candles, we will acknowledge our part as creatures in the natural world with responsibility for spreading light in the spiritual world.
This ceremony must happen on or near the Winter Solstice, and only once. This means if you miss it in Portland, it won’t be offered in Wilsonville. This is a beautiful ceremony that aligns us with the tradition of welcoming greater daylight into the darker days of winter.

This is another installment in our ongoing Neophyte review series. This will be perfect for some of the many new members we’ve been contacted by recently. These reviews are also good for existing members who could use a refresher. All of AMORC teachings are laid out in the Neophyte degrees.
We will also hold Pronaos initiations for those members who have requested them. Any member who attends three convocations in a year may make a written request to the Grand Counselor and receive an initiation. The Pronaos initiations are a venerable rite that will increase your sense of purpose and bond with the Pronaos. It will help to strengthen our local egregore as we seek to rebuild our temple into a Chapter. Email nwamorc.Donohue@gmail.com to request this induction.
