- Twelve Holy Days
Twelve Holy Days is the
holy period, from December 26th to January 6th, in theesoteric andastrological interpretation of theChristmas season.The night between the 24th and 25th of December is considered to be the most "holy night", when the
sun (the "Light of the World") commences its journey from the south to the north. On the night when he commences his northward journey the zodiacal sign virgo, the celestial virgin (the "Queen of Heaven"), stands upon the eastern horizon at midnight (thus he is "born of a virgin" without other intermediary, hence, "immaculately conceived.") ref|Mystical_Christmas.On December 25th the
Christ enters the heart ofearth and the planet is swept by powerful solstitial radiations, becoming enveloped by the light of thearchangel ic Christ and therefore Christmas is considered the most "holy day" of the year. From December 26th to January 6th the twelvezodiac al hierarquies work upon theearth and its life forms, along with the Christ light which continues throughout the twelve holy days. The night of January 6th is regarded as the Twelfth Night, the time when the "Rite ofBaptism " was performed in early Christianity. This period of twelve-day interval, between Christmas and Twelfth Night, is regarded as the spiritual heart of the year to follow and is termed the year's "Holy of Holies" ref|Holy_Days.The Twelve Holy Days Holy Day Zodiacal Hierarchy Solar month Body center Disciple Bible meditation December 26 Aries March 20 toApril 21 the head James, brother of John (pioneer, first disciple) "Behold, I make all things new."- Revelation 21:5December 27 Taurus April 21 toMay 22 the throat Andrew (humility) "He that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God."-I John 4: 16 December 28 Gemini May 22 toJune 22 the hands Thomas (his doubts, natural to the mortal mind, were transcended) "Be still, and know that I am God." -Psalm 46:10 December 29 Cancer June 22 toJuly 23 the solar plexus Nathaniel (a mystic in whom there is no guile) "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another."-I John 1:7 December 30 Leo July 23 toAugust 24 the heart Judas (personality must always wane that spirit may wax strong) "Love is the fulfilling of the law."-Romans 13: 10 December 31 Virgo August 24 toSeptember 23 the intestinal tract James the Just, brother of Jude and Simon (purity of character and consecration to selfless service) "But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant."
