Today is the Thursday of Mysteries, otherwise known as Maundy Thursday, which commemorates the Washing of the Feet and the Last Supper before Yeshua’s death, where he shared his final “mysteries” or teachings.
It’s traditional to show love to one another through ritually washing each other’s feet, in the same way that Yeshua instructed his disciples:
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” John 13:34
Then we partake in the ritual of the Last Supper, which gave rise to the Holy Communion, but this is founded on a much more ancient ritual from Babylonia where bread cakes were made in the shape of the Rose Lineage Goddess Ishtar and eaten in her honour.
So we bake bread in the shape of the Divine Feminine and Masculine to honour them both in their Sacred Marriage.
Lastly, we strip our altars bare and lay a black cloth over them in preparation for our descent down the 7 Stations of the Cross (7 Gates of Inanna-Ishtar) with Yeshua and Magdalene on Good Friday.
The Blessing of the Oils ceremony also takes place on this day so you can bless and consecrate any sacred oils that you would like to use in ceremony or for anointing in the coming year.
Join me tomorrow on Good Friday for The Resurrection Rites to descend the 7 Gates and ascend them on Holy Saturday with the lighting of the Paschal Candle, with access to the recordings until the Ascension Rites on 29 May.
“Thank you, Annabel, for the most incredible, glorious offering. The space you held was so magnificent and very deeply appreciated deep within my Soul. It is a blessing to be in presence with you.
