Equinox Greetings

To all Respectable Triangle and Lodges and all Chambers of the Rite.

Greetings to All Points of the Triangle!

Beloved Brethren and Guardians of the Tradition, today we stand at the point of equilibrium of Nature, on this day, day and night stand as equals. Light does not conquer darkness; darkness does not overcome light, it’s not a fight. Instead, they enter into harmony. The heavens themselves enact a reconciliation of opposites: solar and lunar, active and receptive, masculine and feminine, spirit and matter. The Equinox is a union.

And it is precisely this mystery that lies at the heart of the Chemical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz, that Rosicrucian allegory in which the divided elements of the human being are brought together in sacred marriage. The Wedding is not possible at the moment
of rebirth alone. It requires maturation, purification, and the steady growth of the inner spark that was rekindled in the depths of winter.

How does this translate to our Soul?
Within each of us lives this duality. We carry both sun and moon, reason and imagination, strength and tenderness, will and surrender.

Most human suffering arises not from the presence of opposites, but from their
conflict. The soul is torn because its forces wage war rather than cooperate. The initiatic path does not annihilate one pole in favor of the other. It seeks their conscious union.

The alchemists called this the conjunctio oppositorum; the joining of the King and the Queen, sulfur and mercury, heaven and earth. In the language of the Mysteries, it is the marriage of the Divine Self with the purified personality. In psychological terms, it is the integration of the
conscious and the unconscious.

Rosenkreutz, does not arrive at the Wedding by accident. He is summoned because he has been prepared through humility, trials, and the slow cultivation of inner fire. Likewise, the Equinox does not impose union upon us; it
offers the cosmic conditions under which union becomes possible.

Consider the seed beneath the earth. At the Solstice, life stirs invisibly within it. But by the Equinox, root and shoot have established their polarity, one descending into darkness, the other ascending toward light. Only when both
movements occur simultaneously does the plant live. Without the downward movement, it would wither; without the upward, it would remain buried. So too must the human
soul extend both toward heaven and into the depths of its own being.

Your soul is not meant to be a battlefield (though a lot of times feel like it) but a sanctuary, a temple where opposites are reconciled and elevated into a higher order. The ancient sages taught that the human being is a microcosm, a small universe reflecting the greater cosmos. When balance is achieved within, the individual becomes a living axis between worlds. The Equinox therefore
invites us into an inner still point, a sacred neutrality from which true action can arise. In that poised center, the higher will can guide the lower nature without violence. Love can inform
strength; wisdom can temper power.

For marriage requires two partners capable of meeting as equals. If one dominates or annihilates the other, union collapses into tyranny or dissolution. But when both are purified and harmonized, a third reality emerges… a new being, a regenerated consciousness, what the Hermetic tradition
calls the reborn human, the perfected stone, the Divine or Philosophical Child of the Sun and
Moon.

Thus the Wedding is meant for the healing of the world. Let us cultivate the inner fire that makes such harmony possible. For without that fire of Love, balance becomes stagnation; with it, balance becomes creative power.

Happy International Women’s Day.

Today we honor not only women in the world, but also the Divine Feminine Principle inherited within EVERY person, the eternal power that nourishes, protects, and guides the human soul toward wholeness.

In the esoteric tradition, this mystery is expressed through the figure of Black Isis. She is black not because she lacks light, but because she contains within herself a fire of love so powerful that, if it were fully revealed, it would burn us. The veil of her darkness protects the world from the immensity of her love.

Black Isis is the womb of wisdom, the force that transforms, heals, and regenerates. She is the power that teaches the initiate compassion, patience, and the true knowledge of the heart.

Without the Divine Feminine Principle, no esoteric work can succeed. For the Great Work is not accomplished by will alone, but through the union of power and love, of spirit and soul.

Let us therefore honor today all women and the eternal feminine that lives within creation, recognizing that without this principle, no true initiation and no spiritual completion are possible.

Happy International Women’s Day to all women.
May the wisdom and love of Isis always illuminate our path.

Higher Degrees of the Rite — 91°
Continuation of the Great Work — Fixation of the Marriage into the Stone

Having accomplished the Sacred Union of the King and Queen, the Artist now confronts a new and formidable task: to fix the volatile into the permanent. Love is the Secret ingredient.

The living marriage of Soul and Spirit must no longer remain an experience, an illumination, or an interior state. It must be crystallized — condensed into the Philosophical Stone, the incorruptible center of being.

In alchemical language, the coniunctio becomes coagulation. What was fluid becomes stable.
What was luminous becomes embodied.

This degree concerns the birth of the Living Stone, the awakened principle that endures through all transformations. The Initiate begins to operate not from fluctuating consciousness, but from a permanent axis — an inner Sun that neither rises nor sets.

The Work here is one of stabilization, integration, and silent maturation.

The Marriage becomes Substance.

Higher Degrees of the Rite — 90°
Sublime Master of the Great Work
(Originally the terminal degree of the Rite of Misraïm)

In the 90th Degree, the Initiate stands at the threshold of the consummation of the Work. Here, the Artist—no longer merely a seeker but an operator—labors upon the supreme alchemical mystery: the Union of the King and Queen.

This is not a symbolic marriage alone, but the vertical conjunction of Soul and Spirit, the reconciliation of the higher and the lower, the finite and the immortal. In Egyptian terms, it is the awakening and manifestation of the Ka-Ba—the luminous double infused with divine consciousness.

Through precise inner operations transmitted by the Rite, the Artist refines the subtle body, purifies perception, and stabilizes the current of awakened awareness. The lunar and solar forces within are balanced, transmuted, and brought into perfect harmony.

At this stage, Gnosis is no longer theoretical. The Initiate becomes capable of reflecting the Solar Light directly, as a polished mirror reflects the sun. Illusion dissolves. Identity shifts from personality to essence.

The Great Question—ancient, universal, unavoidable—arises as realization:

“Who am I?”

And in the silence beyond thought, the answer is known.

There are seven initiations before someone reaches the inner and higher degrees. The Three Symbolic degrees, as well the...

There are seven initiations before someone reaches the inner and higher degrees.

The Three Symbolic degrees, as well the degrees of the Philosophocal Series: 4-7 class, 8-11 class, 12-17 class and 18-30 class. Each class corresponds to one initiation.

These seven degrees represent the alchemical mountain into which the alchemist must find the entrance.

The seven operations or initiations lead into the centre of the mountain (90th degree) where the King and Queen celebrate their wedding, which is crowned by the Phoenix bird (work of the 95th degree).

The harmony between the signs of the zodiac, planets and elements, the macrocosm and
the microcosm, is the same that the alchemist must achieve within themself in order to complete their opus.

February 17 (1600) - Death of Giordano Bruno.

Giordano Bruno was an Italian philosopher, astronomer, mathematician, and occultist who rejected geocentrism and even went beyond heliocentrism to theorize an infinite universe and multiplicity of worlds. Bruno was arrested and tried in the Venetian Inquisition in 1592 then extradited to the Roman Inquisition in 1593. During the 7-year trial he attempted to demonstrate that his views were not incompatible with the Christian conception of God and creation, but the inquisitors rejected his arguments and pressed for a formal retraction. Bruno declared that he had nothing to retract and that he did not even know what he was expected to retract. The Roman Pope ordered that he be sentenced as an impenitent and pertinacious heretic.

On this day in 1600 he was taken to the Campo de’ Fiori, his tongue in a gag, and burned alive. This statue was erected there.

"There is one simple Divinity found in all things, one fecund Nature, preserving mother of the universe insofar as she diversely communicates herself, casts her light into diverse subjects, and assumes various names."

"Just as Divinity descends in a certain manner, to the extent that one communicates with Nature, so one ascends to Divinity through Nature, just as by means of a life resplendent in natural things one rises to the life that presides over them."

“Cause, Principle, and One eternal
From whom being, life, and movement are suspended,
And which extends itself in length, breadth, and depth,
To whatever is in Heaven, on Earth, and Hell;
With sense, with reason, with mind, I discern,
That there is no act, measure, nor calculation, which can comprehend
That force, that vastness and that number,
Which exceeds whatever is inferior, middle, and highest;
Blind error, avaricious time, adverse fortune,
Deaf envy, vile madness, jealous iniquity,
Crude heart, perverse spirit, insane audacity,
Will not be sufficient to obscure the air for me,
Will not place the veil before my eyes,
Will never bring it about that I shall not
Contemplate my beautiful Sun.”

(De la Causa, Principio e Uno; 1584)
