Fires Rising
Alchemy, Mystery and Mastery
Friday May 29th - Sunday May 31st, 2009
at Four Quarters

We invoke, decree and dream awake
our infinite connection with
Spirit, Art, Awakening, I Am.

Updated May 4th, 2009

    Come out and play in the Sun and under the Stars at Four Quarters Interfaith Sanctuary. This years Fire Rising is dedicated to bridging links between Old World Alchemy and our tradition of spiritual transformation at the Fire Circle.

   We gather together and circle around the fire, using trance to transform ourselves and to experience the truth of Spirit. Using what we know of Magick and Mysticism to affect changes in ourselves and our World. We will explore the connections between the practical and the sublime. This is supported by our daytime activities with demonstrations of Blacksmithing, Glass Blowing, Metal Casting, Drum Making, and Old World Cooking. There’s plenty to do during the day with discussions and affinity group meetings where you can design a ritual to share with the village during the all Night Fire Circle.

   In previous Alchemical Fire Circles, a focus on the Planetary orbits were used. This year we will open up the Cosmos and work/play in the Zodiacal Wheel of the Year. Our Temple at the Fire Circle Cathedral will be decorated to magically represent the celestial forms familiar to everyone who has ever read a Horoscope. Standing in the circle you will become one with your cosmic passport, and learn to bring positive change into your life through the play of Music, Dance, and Song while living in fellowship with your Tribe mates at the Fire Circle Village.

   Join an Elemental Group which will support your favorite activity. Can’t decide? Then join more than one…...

All participants are encouraged to invest themselves in studying the foundation materials in The Re-Sourcery. These magical texts were developed by Magnus, Spinner, Michael and Jousua, and contain the keys that enable us all to conspire, receive, and bestow nightly offerings of sacred art, ritual, word, and song that magnify the related alchemical phases.

Come to play like there is no tomorrow, to practice like brilliance is at hand, to move like the groove is your birthright, and to make friendships like they were written in the stars. Come to be magic and music, to apply the power of a healthy ordeal to your personal ascension, and come to dive ever deeper into the Art of the Philosophers....
