Theme: Expansion through Darkness: Gifts of the Kali Yuga

"We are in the Kali Yuga [a Sanskrit term meaning Dark Age] and its fatal influence is a thousand-fold more powerful in the West than it is in the East; hence the easy preys made by the Powers of the Age of Darkness in this cyclic struggle, and the many delusions under which the world is now labouring. One of these is the relative facility with which men fancy they can get at the ‘Gate’ and cross the threshold of Occultism without any great sacrifice. But, on the other hand there also lies hope for we also learn that…All causes now bring about their effects much more rapidly than in any other or better age. A sincere lover of the race can accomplish more in three incarnations under Kali-Yuga’s reign than he could in a much greater number in any other age. Thus by bearing all the manifold troubles of this Age and steadily triumphing, the object of his efforts will be more quickly realised, for, while the obstacles seem great, the powers to be invoked can be reached more quickly. ( Studies in Occultism. H.P. Blavatsky)

A Bridge of Magical Order -- Dr. Adebayo Bamitale
Through the ritualistic motion of electricity that lies at the heart of technology and communication systems, the incoming seventh ray of ceremonial magic is transforming social organisation, facilitating the construction of the planetary antahkarana.

Gemini Full Moon Meeting – Christ’s Festival

If people "of all faiths and all religions…and all esoteric groups were to keep the three great Festivals of Invocation, simultaneously and with understanding of the far-reaching implications, a great spiritual unity would be achieved; if they unitedly invoked the spiritual Hierarchy and sought consciously to contact its Head a great and general inflow of spiritual light and love would occur; … that which would be evoked would change all aspects of human living, would condition our civilisation, change our mode of life and make the spiritual world a dominant reality in the human consciousness. (Problems of Humanity. A.A. Bailey)

World Invocation Day is celebrated worldwide on 4th June 2012
