Cardinal feasts - participate in their work through our consciousness

03/31/2024

The four cardinal feasts of Easter, Saint John, Michaelmas and Christmas take place at specific times throughout the year, and we must reflect on the universal events heralded by these feast days. Each of these celebrations corresponds to a season, an archangel, a planet, and a cardinal point. Easter marks the beginning of spring; it is subject to the currents of Archangel Raphael, who represents the planet Mercury, and rules over the South. The feast of Saint John marks the beginning of summer, whose fires are supervised by Archangel Uriel, who represents Earth, and rules over the North. Michaelmas introduces autumn, under the influence of Archangel Michael, who represents the Sun, and rules over the East. Christmas marks the beginning of winter and is dedicated to the forces of Archangel Gabriel, who represents the Moon, and rules over the West. So, specific forces and entities set to work during each of these four major periods of the year, and we, too, at least through our awareness, should participate in this work.*
