Welcome to All Saints Day

12:01 AM

It's is now just past midnight.  The beginning of the new day.  I won't discuss the significance of the number 12 as it is too lengthy to go into detail.  You can research the symbolism and it's connections yourself.  But it is very significant and important. 

Some people call it the 'witching hour' as even the darker elements among us realize that from midnight to the coming dawn a very different energy descends upon the earth and they also try to utilize that energy.  Whereas the Christian mystic enters into a stage of silence and prayer.  To us the energy is calm, silent and all knowing. 

The mystery of Midnight is as old as the ages.  Even Jesus has referred to it.  So it is old indeed.  Due to the stillness of the night and the powers that descend from above it is the best time for your prayers to be heard, and even to be answered.  Make this hour holy.

For it is the time when the Universe listens.

Wickedness of Halloween

It’s probably appropriate to say a word or two concerning the eve of 31^st of October.  An old expression of the evening was Allhallows Eve, it was an evening spent in prayer and meditation, an evening of entering into the Silence, to evoke the Saints of the past, to abide with us, to bring us cheer and good will and blessings from the Spirit above.  To show respect and appreciation of the unbeknown Mercy bestowed upon us because of their sacrifices, their becoming whole and complete before the eyes of God.  Through their sacrifice we benefit.  We are just not aware of this.

With the passing of the Hallowed Eve we enter midnight All Saints Day.  Between midnight and the coming dawn much spiritual enlightenment can fall upon us, should your ritual be conducted with holiness in the mind.  Let the motto of that night be “Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable to thy sight here tonight.”

When the completion of All Saints Day has passed away we enter into All Souls Day, the 2^nd of November.  On this day all those who live should make a pilgrimage to our local cemetery and pray for those who have passed and who may be in assistance of our prayer, and the power within that prayer, which, hopefully, should have been fully spiritualized during the devotion of All Saints Day.  This prayer is Light and will descend into Darkness and gravitate toward the soul that is lost.

But this has all changed.  Allhallows Eve is no longer a holy night but one filled with darkness.  There is no more Silence and entering into the mystery of Midnight.  The pumpkin symbolizes wholeness and completeness, it symbolizes what the Hallowed have become.  But we pay them sacrilege by cutting out the wholeness within, so that that is no longer complete,  and we mock the holiness by cutting ugly demonic faces upon the now empty shell.

Yes, sure, it’s only for fun that we do these things. 

But, not known by the masses, there are others who are active during Halloween.  And their rituals are not holy and clean, not to saints but demons, and we, in our ignorant silly blindness, the mad activities of the night, subliminally condone their rituals – and they still adhere to blood sacrifices. 

Innocent blood.

Other Masters

You have stated that there are other masters beside Christ?

Yes, all bringers of spiritual revelation can be deemed masters.  All great religions have had the influence of an individual who either formed the basis of the 'belief', or who enhanced a religion that was already in existence.  I won't go into the many names of men who enhanced

The Church

Now, we have briefly discussed Jesus and his manner of teaching by parable.  Jesus, like other masters before him, attract a following who pass on their master's teaching once the master is removed from the scene.  Now, it is absolute ignorance to believe that the teaching delivered

Earthly Deception

I cannot understand how the occult teaching can be in harmony, or reflect anything about Christianity, who solely base their faith on Biblical teaching which they maintain to be the word of God.  They deem that anything outside this faith is doomed for destruction.

The female aspect in the Church

Do women have a place in, what you call, the inner circle. The Catholic Church in particular has definite rules assigned to women, which, suggests an air of chauvinistic ideals. What are your views on this?

Spiritualism

I believe that you have been in the past strongly affiliated with the Spiritualist Movement. I understand also that the Christian Church in general does not approve of spiritualism, in fact, they give strong warnings against it.  What are your viewpoints concerning the Churches stand on this?

Conversation with a Mystic

Firstly, why do you call yourself The Hermit?  You obviously don't live alone.  So how do you associate yourself with this name?

I use the term "Hermit" solely to form a spiritual, as well as a physical perspective.  Base it on personality, if you like.  I've also used other terminologies, or pen names, such as "Ancientson" or "Angelofold", even "sunoforion."  acquiring a username, and a desired uniqueness, is very difficult these days.  But I've been doing alright and have a personal connection with all the names I've used.

Loyalty toward Church

Before we continue with our explorations into the past, we should, perhaps, in this discourse, explore regions of ourselves, seeing that we are, individually, upon our own personal quest of self discovery.
