Festivals of the Enochiian School

The Enochiian School’s Derek’helekiim – the Pathway of the Traveler – is punctuated by festivals, celebrations, and ceremonies. The festivals of the School generally occur during interstitial eclipses of Tefireth. An interstitial eclipse is the interposition of six planetary bodies between a planet and a star. In the case of Premthoth, this eclipse is visible at night because the eclipse occurs when all seven of the planets are in the Kesermost decant of their orbits around Tefireth. The eclipse appears as a six-pointed star or hexagon on the brown-red background of the infrared dwarf star.

Amadthoth
(Ah•måd´•thôt) The interstitial eclipse of Tefireth by the six inner planets Adamii, Seth, Enoshii, Kenanii, Jaredii and Mahalel which occurs at midnight over Shabbaas in Equinox’s northern hemisphere. The juxtaposition causes the transmission of electrogravitic forces that activate chemical transmitters in the bark of the Sequoia adeptus. Amadthoth is a rite of passage for students of the Enochiian School wherein they progress to the next stage of wisdom and enlightenment. As Premthoth activates the novitiate’s brain chemistry that enables the student to receive and assimilate wisdom, so Amadthoth increases the students’ openness to the Adeptii.

Chalyafah
(KHäl•ē•få´) This is the festival and ceremony that celebrates the Sha’lemhelekiim who posses the ability to manipulate space-time on the space axis. As in the ceremony of Techillah, those who display their skills before a panel of Adepts are awarded the rank of Asa’helek. The new Asa’helek is given the navigator’s astrolabe and mantle as a symbol of what they may become. The Galach translation of this Enochiian word means, “to change garments”, and takes its meaning from the placing of the navigator’s mantle on the new Asa’helek.

Hafacq
(Hå•fåkh´) The festival of Hafacq marks the transition of the helek from the lower to the upper form of the Enochiian School. He has passed through a portal that has transformed him to the depths of his spirit. During the ceremony of Hafacq the helek swears an oath of honor, service, and fidelity that includes the phrase, “first do no harm”. With the completion of this oath, the scholar helek becomes an adept of lower rank – a Yada’helek. The Galach translation of the Enochiian word means, “to turn, overthrow, or overturn”; “to transform oneself”.

Ma’nagahh
(Mä•nå•gä´)  The Galach translation of the Enochiian word means, “to shine, to be enlightened”. The Ma’nagahh festival and ceremony celebrate the triumph of the candidate Yada’helek over the Universal duality. This is one of the few closed rituals of the Enochiian School because of the personal nature of the Yada’helek’s achievement. Only three individuals may attend: The Biyn’adon of the School, the candidate’s Yadal’helek mentor, and the candidate.

Mishteh Madda’ayin
(Mĭsh·të' Må·då'·åyn) The Galach translation of the Enochiian phrase means, “Feast of the Body Infinite”. The Mishteh Madda’ayin festival celebrates the triumph of the candidate Qui’nahelekiim over the various tests of virtue and vice during the journey to achieve their goal of Ma’amlakah – the dominion over the kingdom of the body.

Mishteh Mo’zen
(Mĭsh·të' Mō·zën') The Galach translation of the Enochiian phrase means, “Feast of the Balance”. The Mishteh Mo’zen festival celebrates the triumph of the candidate Ro’shelekiim over the various tests of virtue and vice during the journey to achieve their goal of Malek’tebel – the dominion over the kingdom of the world.

Mishteh Ruwach’ayin
(Mĭsh·të' Rö·åKH'·åyn) The Galach translation of the Enochiian phrase means, “Feast of the Mind Infinite”. The Mishteh Ruach’ayin festival celebrates the triumph of the candidate Sha’lemhelekiim over the various tests of virtue and vice during the journey to achieve their goal of Ma’amlebab – the dominion over the kingdom of the mind.

Mishteh Yada’kol
(Mĭsh·të' Yå·då'·cōl) The Galach translation of the Enochiian phrase means, “Feast of the Ability Infinite”. The Mishteh Yada’kol festival celebrates the triumph of the candidate Yada’helekiim over the various tests of virtue and vice during the journey to achieve their goal of Ma’amchayil – the dominion over the kingdom of the able.

Premthoth
This festival celebrates the dodeciennial planetary interstitial eclipse of Tefireth by the six inner planets Adamii, Seth, Enoshii, Kenanii, Jaredii and Mahalel which occurs at midnight over Mishkan Cela’a in Equinox’s northern hemisphere which is also known as Beshrith. The juxtaposition causes the transmission of electrogravitic forces that activate chemical transmitters in the bark of the Sequoia adeptus. These transmitters release trace chemical esters that have a significant effect on the brain chemistry of Homo sapiens which results in a permanent transformation of mental abilities.

Sha’anah
(Shå•änå´) The festival of Sha’anah takes place during the interstitial eclipse of Tefireth by four of the six inner planets Seth, Enoshii, Kenanii, and Mahalel which occurs at midnight over Mishkan ‘Emuna’a  in Equinox’s southern hemisphere. During the festival a ceremony of the same name, celebrates the achievements of Talmiyd’helekiim who have demonstrated their skill at manipulating space-time on both axes. In addition to the test in which the candidate sends the ceremonial hourglass on the stand before him three minutes into the future for it to appear on a pedestal before the panel of eleven Adepts, the Sha’anah ritual includes the investiture of the Talmiyd’helekiim with the symbolic cowl and hourglass of their rank. The Enochiian word translates in to Galach as meaning, “to change or alter”.

Techillah
(Têkh•ē•lå´) This is the festival and ceremony that celebrate the demonstration of a Qui’nahelek’s ability to control matter nearby. During the festival they demonstrate their skills with material objects in front of eleven helekiim of Adept rank – usually ten Yada’helek with one Yadal’helek presiding as Master of Ceremonies. Those who demonstrate sufficient skill are awarded the rank of Sha’lemhelek. The Galach literal translation of the Enochiian word means, “the beginning” or “the first”.

Yamar
(Yå•mår´) The festival of Yamar takes place during the interstitial eclipse of Tefireth by three of the six inner planets Seth, Enoshii, and Mahalel which occurs at midnight over Mishkan Cela’a in Equinox’s northern hemisphere. During the ceremony of Yamar, Ro’shelekiim who have dedicated their lives to the path of the Enochiian School celebrate their commitment in a ritual where the Ro’shelek becomes a Qui’nahelek.
