Festival of The Drum
There is no set way to celebrate the Festivals but below is one example of how to celebrate the Festival of the Drum on the 22nd March or an adjacent weekend:
An altar or sacred space may be set up if required, please see the page on Festivals and Prayers.
Complete visualization (S18 to S22).
Say or think:
"I / Let us celebrate the Festival of The Drum, The Spring Equinox. TEMP ANO BAMB"
"We are in the realm of the lower frequency but one day we will rise to the infinite frequency of your Pure Awareness."
Light the candle (If you have one). While saying: "OL KEN" (All knowing which is the Pure Awareness)
Then say or think:
"I am/ We are grateful for the time since the Festival of Body, TEMP ANO KERP"
Close your eyes and breathe slower and deeper. Repeat the phrase “It is now” for some time.
Visualize a green irregular smooth shape. With the beating of a drum, circles of red form inside the green shape.
Visualize a golden white light.
Then say or think:
"Forgive us for the wrongs we have done and for falling short of what we should be. Help us to see all things from your Pure Awareness."
"You are our highest aim and desire. May we be detached from all else but you."
"Kena we thank you for your message, the Weksek. We thank you that you are our guide and our Goddess. May we live knowing and living your joy. Living in pure joy with pure, childlike laughter and happiness. Show us the way to become one with the Pure Awareness."
"We are in the realm of the lower frequency but one day we will rise to the infinite frequency of your Pure Awareness."
Chant 5 times:
"SOL BAMB,
LENT JUN,
PELK OSMI,
ALTER TOR." ***
Lastly say:
"Let the festival begin."
Celebrate with drumming.
This can then be followed by more drumming, music, food and drink, a walk in the forest etc.
*** SOL BAMB 227
LENT JUN 227
PELK OSMI 227
ALTER TOR 227
This is a typical Weksek chant. It consists of 4 lines of 2 Concept words and contains a condensed Weksek theology.
Each line has a total value by adding up the Concept word values, which in this case equals 227. In a good Weksek chant, one with symmetry and power, the lines will all add up to the same values, as seen in this example, 227.
This translates in English as:
Sun drum,
Spring day,
Move open,
Other door.
In the visions red forms within green. This is symbolic of birth driven by the beating of the drum. The opening of the door into the visions and message and the beginning of the journey to Pure Awareness.
