I’m going to take the time “between the years”, from Dec 21st to Jan 6th, off.
What this means in a nutshell: During this time,
And here’s the fineprint: [Read more…] about Heads Up: Off-Time Between the Solstice and January 6th
Welcome back to the Modern Order of Essenes course! If you are new to the course, it starts out here with Unit 1. And in order to see all the course-related posts on one page, click here.
This post contains all the relevant info for the upcoming Healer attunement.
Since there isn’t any new course material to practice this week, this also gives you some breathing room until January: to catch up if you’re a bit behind, or to re-view previous material.
Whatever you do with this extra time, though, it’s important that you keep practicing regularly before and after the attunement! This will help the energies to flow properly and do what they are supposed to do.
So let’s dive right in with the details of the Healer attunement, shall we? 🙂

In this post, we’re going to schedule the Healer attunements for the Modern Order of Essenes Course. Please reply with your preferences by Wednesday, December 17th!
We’ve reached the stage in the Healer grade of the MOE course where we need to plan ahead for your attunement. 🙂
I will post all the important information about the attunements themselves in a different post, but we also need to set attunement dates for January, and that’s what this post today is for… [Read more…] about MOE Healer Attunements in January
This is the twenty-third part of my essay series “Inner Work with the Planets”. If you haven’t read the earlier parts yet, I suggest you start with part 1 to get the most out of this essay.
Well, here we are again, with what was supposed to be the second half of the last essay… 😉 Have you guessed which Eastern spiritual concept with seven elements we’re going to talk about today?
+++ Important update: I’ve put up a post to help us sort out potential attunement dates in January. Your input is required, deadline is Wednesday, December 17th! +++
Welcome back to the Modern Order of Essenes course.
Today marks the last unit of the Healer grade. Congratulations on making it this far! I hope you will consider continuing with the Master grade, too… 😉
Unit 20 contains some new content on the subconscious and how it ties in with spiritual healing, and also a couple of smaller new techniques.
In two weeks, there will be one last post related to the Healer grade, namely a post containing all the relevant information for the Healer attunement.
At some point in December, I will also ask you folks about dates for the Healer attunement. My plan is to conduct it (or them) in January, or February at the latest if we can’t find January dates.
I will post about the dates here, and also announce that post via the mailing list. If you want to be notified, sign up below, and make sure the option “Modern Order of Essenes” is checked (and yep, you are of course welcome to unsubscribe again afterwards!). Otherwise, please check back here regularly if you plan to participate in the Healer attunement. Thanks!
So… on we go! 🙂

This is the twenty-second part of my essay series “Inner Work with the Planets”. If you haven’t read the earlier parts yet, I suggest you start with part 1 to get the most out of this essay.
The last essay was a pretty wild ride, wasn’t it? Between the content of one of the core Hermetic treatises, ideas for your spiritual work, and thoughts on keeping Hermeticism alive as a living (and lived) tradition, we’ve been busy little bees.
And I can happily say things are definitely not going to get more boring towards the end of the series! 😀
Before we dive into today’s essay, though, I have to announce a slight change of plans.
Welcome back to this Modern Order of Essenes course!
We are, slowly but surely, moving towards the end of the Healer grade. There will be one last unit after this one, Unit 20 – and then we’re done with the Healer material. Congratulations for getting this far! 🙂
In today’s unit, there is a new element which I hope you’ll find useful in your personal spiritual healing work, the Breath of Acceptance…

This is the twenty-first part of my essay series “Inner Work with the Planets”. If you haven’t read the earlier parts yet, I suggest you start with part 1 to get the most out of this essay.
Last time, we wrapped up our practical work on the planetary ladder.
(Yes, you can pack away your toolbox now as we won’t need it anymore – unless you want to get creative with the planets on your own, that is.. 😉)
We also discussed a very useful technique for getting the most out of the Hermetic planets in your inner work, namely discursive meditation. If you have tried it yet (which I hope you have!), you will have noticed that discursive meditation isn’t a get-enlightened-quick scheme. Quite the contrary – it requires work.
But it’s very much worth this work, as you will note when you meditate on the planets, the relationships among them, on Hermeticism, and most importantly on what all this stuff can teach you about your life!
I’m mentioning this just in case – you know, for those of you who have pushed the meditation off for now, but will for sure give it a try. Definitely soon. Maybe tomorrow. 😉
Anyway. While the last essay has been rather practical, today we’re going to go all the way out to the other side – into the spiritual and non-material. First, though, I have to confess that I’ve written myself into a bit of a pickle.
Welcome back to this Modern Order of Essenes course!
Today, we’re diving into the sixth unit of the Healer grade, and in particular into emotional complexes and your emotional body…

This is the twenteeth part of my essay series “Inner Work with the Planets”. If you haven’t read the earlier parts yet, I suggest you start with part 1 to get the most out of this essay.
Last time, we took a detour through a most interesting question: Why is this Hermetic inner work with the planets even worth doing? (I hope I made a convincing case for it, btw! 😉 )
Today, we’ll dive right into the practical end of things – I trust you’ve got your pliers and working gloves ready to go, and yep, a cutting wheel wouldn’t hurt either… 😉
Four weeks ago, we spent some fun time together on a crafting project. Back then, our last project looked like a pair of scales, or something to this effect: Two smaller planetary triangles, suspended from the Sun.
While we’ve so far restriced our crafting efforts to mere bending and reshaping, today we’ll get a bit more adventurous and creative
